Three ‐Dimensional Digital Evaluation of the Fit of Endocrowns Fabricated from Different CAD/CAM Materials
ConclusionsStatistically significant differences were found for different CAD/CAM materials if the CAM procedure was identical. Within the limitations of this study, the choice of CAD/CAM material may influence the fitting accuracy of CAD/CAM‐fabricated restorations. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontics)

Effect of Implant Position on Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes of Locator ‐Retained Mandibular Overdentures: A 1‐Year Prospective Study
ConclusionsWithin the limits of this short‐term clinical study, canine position for implants retaining mandibular overdentures with Locator attachments is preferred over the first premolar position, as it was associated with reduced peri‐implant pocket depth and marginal bone loss after 1 year.

Wear Characteristics and Volume Loss of CAD/CAM Ceramic Materials
ConclusionsThis study demonstrated the resistance to wear and low abrasiveness of ZR when compared to LD in a simulated masticatory environment. This can be best explained by the increased strength of ZR, and the introduction of three‐body wear to LD specimens from the accumulation of embedded wear debris onto its surface. Wear data and comparison of SEM images following wear simulation confirmed this interpretation. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontics)

The Development of Nonanatomic Denture Occlusion: Part III
Abstract Part III of this four‐part series about nonanatomic denture tooth development traces the evolution of this movement from the mid‐1930s through the World War II era up to the early 1950s. By this time, the general preference for posterior denture occlusion had shifted from anatomic to nonanatomic teeth, and all the major denture tooth manufacturing companies listed at least one nonanatomic design in their inventories.
