Effect Of Different Finish Line Designs On The Marginal And Internal Fit Of Metal Copings Made By Selective Laser Melting Technology, Adel Al Maaz
Master's Theses (2009 -)
Introduction: Marginal fit has been defined as the gap between the prepared tooth and the intaglio surface of the restoration. Internal gap is the perpendicular measurement from the internal surface of the casting to the axial wall of the preparation. Selective laser melting has been used for fabrication of metal copings such as Co-Cr base alloys and Au-Pt noble alloys. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of different finish line designs on the marginal and internal fit of metal copings made from high noble, 25% noble and base alloys manufactured by SLM technology. Material and Methods: …
Effect Of Emergence Profile Of A Single Implant Restoration On The Health Of Peri-Implant Soft Tissue, Waleed Nasir Asiri
Effect Of Emergence Profile Of A Single Implant Restoration On The Health Of Peri-Implant Soft Tissue, Waleed Nasir Asiri
Master's Theses (2009 -)
Purpose: The specific aims of this retrospective study were 1) to compare the emergence angle of a single implant crown (SIC) of the mandibular first molar to the emergence angle of the natural contralateral tooth, 2) to evaluate the effect of the emergence angle of SIC on the health of the peri-implant soft tissue and 3) to quantify an acceptable emergence angle among SIC. Materials and methods: Ten Marquette University School of Dentistry (MUSoD) patients were included in the study. Each patient was examined clinically and plaque index (PI), probing depth (PD), and bleeding on probing (BOP) measurements were gathered …
