Bond strength of CAD-CAM and conventional veneering materials to different frameworks
New materials and precise manufacturing processes allow for new processes in the veneering and production of fixed dental prostheses. However, data on the bond strength of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) and conventional veneering materials to substrates bonded with different composite resins are lacking.Impact of artificial aging by thermocycling on edge chipping resistance and Martens hardness of different dental CAD-CAM restorative materials
The selection of an appropriate restorative material based on fracture behavior is important for the marginal integrity of a dental restoration. For computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) restorative materials, information regarding their edge chipping resistance is scarce.Surface properties of polyetheretherketone after different laboratory and chairside polishing protocols
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) can be used as a framework material for fixed dental prostheses. However, information about laboratory and chairside polishing methods is still scarce.Effect of different surface pretreatments and adhesives on the load-bearing capacity of veneered 3-unit PEEK FDPs
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) can be used as a framework material for fixed dental prostheses (FDPs). However, information about the fracture load of veneered PEEK FDPs is still scarce.
