Effects of tooth loss on brain structure: a voxel-based morphometry study
ConclusionsThe results of this study suggest that tooth loss was a causal factor for volume reduction in brain areas related to memory, learning and cognition. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontic Research)

Fitness and retentive force of cobalt-chromium alloy clasps fabricated with repeated laser sintering and milling
ConclusionsHM clasp exhibited better fitness accuracy and retentive forces. The possibility of clinically using HM clasps as well as conventional cast clasps can be suggested. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontic Research)

Trueness and precision of digital impressions obtained using an intraoral scanner with different head size in the partially edentulous mandible
ConclusionsDigital impressions are partially comparable to conventional impressions in terms of accuracy; the use of a larger scanning head may improve the accuracy for removable partial denture fabrication. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontic Research)

Effectiveness of a combination denture-cleaning method versus a mechanical method: comparison of denture cleanliness, patient satisfaction, and oral health-related quality of life
ConclusionsA combination of mechanical and chemical denture cleaning methods was more effective at cleaning dentures than the mechanical method alone. Even if denture cleaning improves denture hygiene, it may not increase patient satisfaction or OHRQoL. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontic Research)

Glass fiber-reinforced thermoplastics for use in metal-free removable partial dentures: combined effects of fiber loading and pigmentation on color differences and flexural properties
ConclusionsA combination of the results of color difference evaluation and mechanical examination indicates that the GFRTPs with fiber contents of 10 or 20 mass%, and with pigment contents of 2 mass% have acceptable esthetic appearance and sufficient rigidity for NMCDs.

Risk factors associated with post-loading implant loss of removable and fixed implant-supported prostheses in edentulous jaws
ConclusionsMaxillary implants with removable restorations and male sex were risk factors for implant failure among Japanese edentulous patients. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontic Research)

Masticatory performance and oral health-related quality of life before and after complete denture treatment
ConclusionsThese results suggested that masticatory performance and OHRQoL are significantly improved after treatment and that there is a close relationship between the two. Moreover, functional limitation was found to be the most important factor affecting masticatory performance. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontic Research)

Framework design and pontics of fiber-reinforced composite fixed dental prostheses — An overview
ConclusionsThe thickness of pontics of FRC FDPs interrelated with the vertical positioning of the FRC framework influences the load-bearing capacities of prostheses of these kinds. The understanding of the factors involved in the fabrication of pontics of FRC FDPs may overcome the drawbacks identified in these prostheses, thus extending their longevity.

A systematic review and meta-analysis on the clinical outcome of zirconia implant–restoration complex
ConclusionsSurvival and marginal bone loss values after one year for one-piece zirconia implants are acceptable, but long-term studies are required to support their clinical use. No particular restoration material can be recommended; this decision is apparently based on clinicians’ preferences.Results from two-piece implants do not provide sufficient data to support their clinical use and no abutment or cementing materials for two-piece zirconia implants can be recommended.

Influence of polymerization time on properties of dual-curing cements in combination with high translucency monolithic zirconia
ConclusionsThe first null hypothesis has to be rejected since DC% and MH of the dual-cements tested were influenced by the curing time. The second null hypothesis is partially rejected since the bond strength was influenced by the curing time only for Rely-X Ultimate. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontic Research)

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.
