(2015-05-08)The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of bone grafting when performed in association with corticotomies. A randomized split-mouth design was utilized in seven adult male beagle dogs. Corticotomies were ...
-
(2019-03-06)Introduction. TMD is a complex multi-factorial chronic inflammatory condition involving a host of life altering symptoms. The etiology of TMD is not well understood. To treat these chronic inflammatory conditions, small ...
-
(2016-04-12)When treatment planning an increase in VDO a dental articulator is used to orient the maxillary and mandibular casts in centric occlusion. The incisal pin can be raised to increase the proposed VDO. This results in more ...
-
(2016-12-09)Dentin and bone are composed of mineralized extracellular matrices (ECM) produced by their formative cells, odontoblasts and osteoblasts. A major component of their ECM is Collage Type 1, along with numerous non-collagenous ...
-
(2016-04-28)The purpose of this study was to examine the relation of chin projection changes and true rotation in hypo- and hyperdivergent patients. The treated group consisted of 45 growing Class II Division I patients (23 boys, ...
-
(2015-05-12)The purpose of this randomized clinical study was to compare the root coverage outcomes and clinical attachment levels in areas of facial gingival recession between an autograft and a xenograft. The materials investigated ...
-
(2017-03-09)Gingival recession is defined as a mucogingival deformity that includes the apical displacement of the marginal soft tissues below the cementoenamel junction, loss of attached gingiva, and exposure of root surfaces. The ...
-
(2021-04-16)Introduction: Marginal bone loss is a multifactorial problem affecting the health and longevity of dental implants placed throughout the world. A novel drilling system has been developed that allows for the densification ...
-
(2016-04-29)Gingival recession is defined as a mucogingival deformity in which the marginal soft tissues are positioned apical to cemento-enamel junction, with concomitant loss of attached gingiva and exposure of root surfaces. Surgical ...
-
(2020-04-14)Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the tensile bond strength of both hard and soft denture reline materials on denture bases fabricated by 3D printing and milling CAD-CAM technology. Materials and methods: ...
-
(2016-02-24)The purpose of this in vitro study was to assess the cutting efficiency of diamond burs on Y-TZP Zirconia as measured by heat generation during cutting; time needed to cut 4 mm of an ingot shaped specimen; and material ...
-
(2015-04-23)Understanding the molecular events in palate development is a prerequisite to more effective treatments of cleft palate. The secondary palate in humans and mice forms from shelves of mesenchyme covered with medial edge ...
-
(2014-08-20)Dickkopf-1 (Dkk1) is a potent inhibitor of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in both tooth and bone development. Deletion of the Dkk1 gene in mice leads to embryonic lethality, whereas transgenic mice over-expressing ...
-
(2020-04-03)Statement of problem. To our knowledge, the linear dimensional stability of the SLA 3D printed resins when exposed to environmental light after printing has not been studied. Ideally, the cured resins should have a similar ...
-
(2020-05-07)3D printed surgical guides for dental implant placement must be sterilized prior to use for patient safety. It is of clinical interest to know if surgical guides suffer distortion during the sterilization process. However, ...
