Analysis and management of implant-prosthetic complications: Description of a diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm with a clinical case
ConclusionsSpecific employments and protocols have to be offered in order to manage the fractures of implant-prosthetic components. This work showed that through the described diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm, the clinician can be guided towards a proper diagnosis and a correct management of the cases where a fracture of implant-prosthetic components may occur.

A fully digital approach to replicate functional and aesthetic parameters in implant-supported full-arch rehabilitation
ConclusionThe FDT provided an effective fully digital protocol to capture all information for provisional full-arch implant restorations using an intraoral scanner and transfer that information to definitive restorations. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontic Research)

Cervical margin relocation in indirect adhesive restorations: A literature review
ConclusionsOn the basis of the reviewed literature, it can be concluded that currently there is no strong scientific evidence that could either support or discourage the use of CMR technique prior to restoration of deep subgingival defects with indirect adhesive restorations. Randomized controlled clinical trials are necessary to provide the reliable evidence on the influence of CMR technique on the clinical performance, especially on the longevity of the restorations and the periodontal health.

Availability of cosmetic treatment using novel cosmetics-based material on patients with craniofacial concavity
ConclusionsThese results suggest that the cosmetic treatment with the novel cosmetics-based material can be used as a subsidiary method for facial prostheses or an independent new method for correcting patients’ small craniofacial concavity and for reducing visible deformity.

Fracture strength testing of crowns made of CAD/CAM composite resins
ConclusionsAll CAD/CAM composite resin crowns studied presented about 3–4 times higher fracture strength than the average maximum bite force of the molar tooth (700–900 N), which result leads to the conclusion that CAD/CAM composite resin crowns would have sufficient strength to withstand the bite force of the molar teeth.

Fracture resistance and failure modes of polymer infiltrated ceramic endocrown restorations with variations in margin design and occlusal thickness
ConclusionsFor the restoration of endodontically treated teeth, adding a short axial wall and shoulder finish line can increase the fracture resistance. However, further investigations, especially the fatigue behavior, are needed to ensure this effect applies with small increases of restoration thickness. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontic Research)

Micro-computed tomography for evaluating alveolar bone resorption induced by hyperocclusion
ConclusionsMicro-computed tomographic images can be used to measure changes in bone mineral density in a mouse model of hyperocclusion. This method may be useful for further investigating bone changes in other periodontal disease research fields. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontic Research)

Dentures wearing reduce motion artifacts related to tongue movement in magnetic resonance imaging
ConclusionsResults of this study suggest that wearing the dentures during MRI examination reduces motion artifacts in edentulous patients without occlusal support, and maintained the normal form of the tongue during imaging. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontic Research)

Clinical survey over the past 35 years at the clinic for maxillofacial prosthetics Tokyo Medical and Dental University
ConclusionsThe survey showed an increasing number of elderly patients and patients with tumors. This suggests that more awareness and education about maxillofacial prosthetics are needed. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontic Research)

The single mandibular implant study – Short-term effects of the loading protocol on Oral Health-related Quality of Life
ConclusionsThe single mandibular implant concept was associated with a positive impact on quality of life. However, no statistically significant influence of implant loading on quality of life was found. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontic Research)

The occurrence of respiratory events in young subjects with a frequent rhythmic masticatory muscle activity: a pilot study
ConclusionsA subpopulation of young SB subjects can show concomitant respiratory events. Further large sample studies are needed to demonstrate that the occurrence of subclinical respiratory events represents a clinical subtype of SB. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontic Research)

Evaluating the influence of ambient light on scanning trueness, precision, and time of intra oral scanner
ConclusionsThe 3900 K and 500 lux condition is the most appropriate lighting condition for taking a digital impression. This condition is typical of clinical settings. High illuminance ambient light increased the scanning time. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontic Research)
