Accuracy And Trueness Of Exporting Computer Aided Designs Of 3-Unit Fixed Dental Prosthesis By 3 Cad Systems, Ezzat Abou-Alnaga, Ashraf Hussein, Ahmed Naguib, Shereen Ahmed Nossair

Future Dental Journal

Objectives: Computer-aided design (CAD) software programs offer the option to export 3D scans and designs across different CADCAM systems, commonly referred to as open CADCAM technology. However, there is insufficient evidence of whether this exporting procedure has an impact on the accuracy of digital designs.This study aimed to investigate the accuracy of exporting of computer aided designs (CAD) of three-unit fixed dental prosthesis using 3 CAD systems. Materials and Methods: Three CAD softwares (inLab 17™, CeraMill Mind™, Dental System 2017™) were used to generate designs of a three-unit fixed partial denture. The designs generated by each CAD software were exported …

Assessment Of The Effect Of Two Different Digital Fabrication Techniques On Marginal And Internal Fit Of Interim Fixed Dental Prothesis, Mohamed A. Shalaby, Mennatallah M. Wahba, Hisham I. Al-Ansari, Ahmed N. Mohamed

Future Dental Journal

Aim: The aim of that study was to evaluate the marginal and internal fit of a 3-unit, and 6-unit interim fixed dental prosthesis manufactured through milling and 3D printing technologies. Materials and Methods: Forty-eight interim fixed dental prostheses (FDP) were equally divided into two groups according to the fabrication technique. In group (MT), specimens were fabricated through milling technology while in group (PT), specimens were obtained by 3D printing. Each group was subdivided equally according to the FDP span length into 3-unit FDP (SFDP), and 6-unit FDP (LFDP). Marginal and internal fit were measured through the superimposition of the digital …

Digital Fabrication Of Attachment For Implant-Anchored Auricular Prosthesis (Case Report)., Hussein El Charkawi Proffesor

Future Dental Journal

Aim: This novel technique, has adopted digital technology to fabricate a customized precision attachment for a patient who has lost his attachment which anchor his implant retained auricular prosthesis. A scanner was used to acquire the ball abutment’ geometry of craniofacial implant in the mastoid area. CAD/CAM technology and special software was used to fabricate a customized small PEEK precision attachment that was no longer available in the market. This attachment was picked-up by an auricular prosthesis. The retention qualities of the auricular prosthesis with this attachment was satisfactory for both the patient and the dentist. This novel approach will …

Evaluation Of Color Difference And Translucency Of Modified Peek Restorations Veneered With Different Veneering Materials Before And After Thermal Cycling, Mohamed Hamdy Abdulmaguied, Tarek Salah Morsi, Mennatallah M. Wahba, Hesham Katamish

Future Dental Journal

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different PEEK veneering materials, as well as thermocycling on the color difference (ΔE) and the translucency parameter (TP) of modified PEEK veneered restorations.

Materials and Methods: Thirty disc shaped specimens of veneered BioHPP (1.5 mm X 12 mm) were randomly divided into three groups (n=10) based on the type of the veneering material. Group (A): Discs veneered with CAD milled Lithium Disilicate, group (B): Discs veneered with pre-cured milled composite, and group (C): Discs veneered with conventional light cured composite. CIELab values were calculated for all specimens over …

Influence Of The Margin Design On The Fracture Resistance Of Implant Supported Monolithic Zirconia Crowns, Camille Haddad, Ryan Harouny, Karim Corbani, Lara Nasr, Ronn Tassidis

International Arab Journal of Dentistry

The purpose of this in vitro study was to test the influence of the margin design of implant supported monolithic zirconia crowns and test if monolithic zirconia crowns with extra fine finish line thickness cemented on zirconia implant abutments can bare the maximum masticatory forces on molars and hence be used in the posterior region. Fourteen identical monolithic zirconia crowns cemented on zirconia implant abutments mounted on titanium bases and fixed on implant replicas embedded in PMMA resin were divided into two groups: group I designed with a 0.5 mm CFL (CFL) and group II with a feather-edge finish line …
