The effect of glass fiber posts and ribbons on the fracture strength of teeth with flared root canals restored using composite resin post and cores
ConclusionsCylindroid glass fiber ribbons significantly increased the fracture strength of the composite resin post and cores in the case of the dentin within the thin root canal wall. Based on the results, this study recommends the combined use of glass fiber post and ribbons. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontic Research)

Corrosive effects of fluoride on titanium under artificial biofilm
ConclusionsNaF induces titanium corrosion in acidic environment in vitro, while NaF does not induce titanium corrosion under the biofilm because fluoride inhibits bacterial acid production. Neutral pH fluoridated agents may still be used to protect the remaining teeth, even when titanium-based prostheses are worn. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontic Research)

A newly developed ultraminiature wearable electromyogram system useful for analyses of masseteric activity during the whole day
ConclusionsTo our knowledge, the device is the smallest and lightest device with capacity for the longest consecutive measuring time as a data-logger-type electromyograph with built-in electrodes and memory. The device is useful for analyses of masseteric activity during the whole day. In the future, it is expected that applications of the device will expanded to observation, evaluation and diagnosis of normal or abnormal gnathic functions, e.g., assessment of sleep and awake bruxism and observation of the chewing state in daily life.

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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.
