Flexural and Surface Properties of PMMA Denture Base Material Modified with Thymoquinone as an Antifungal Agent
ConclusionsAddition of TQ did not affect the flexural and surface properties of PMMA denture base material at low concentrations (0.5%, 1% TQ) and could be incorporated into PMMA denture base material as an antifungal agent. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontics)

Short vs. Standard Laser ‐Microgrooved Implants Supporting Single and Splinted Crowns: A Prospective Study with 3 Years Follow‐Up
ConclusionRegardless of C/I ratio, implant length, location, type of antagonist, and type of prosthetic design, short and standard laser ‐microgrooved implants had similar survival rates, MBL, and peri‐implant soft tissue conditions over the observation period of 3 years.

Microstructural and Mechanical Characterization of CAD/CAM Materials for Monolithic Dental Restorations
ConclusionsAll CAD/CAM crown materials exhibited high values of fracture and flexural resistance, making them suitable materials for posterior full ‐crown restorations. Glass‐ceramics suffered more from catastrophic and nonreparable fracture patterns, whereas minimal chipping and type II fracture patterns were more common in hybrid materials. The combination of more flexibility, less stiffness, and increased softness with satisfactory flexu ral and fracture strength values observed in PICN and HPP makes these two hybrid materials suitable choices for chairside monolithic crown fabrication.

Effect of Aging and Weathering on the Physical Properties of Maxillofacial Silicone Elastomers: A Systematic Review and Meta ‐Analysis
ConclusionsDespite the varying research, it seems that the single “ideal” maxillofacial prosthetic material that can provide sufficient resistance against different aging conditions is yet to be identified. Therefore, it is imperative for standardization organizations, the scientific community, and academia to develop modified prosthetic silicones possessing i mproved physical properties and color stability, limiting the clinical problems regarding degradation of maxillofacial prostheses.

Premaxilla Stress Distribution and Bone Resorption Induced by Implant Overdenture and Conventional Denture
ConclusionStress, strain, and total deformation values present in the premaxilla area beneath a CD were approximately two times greater in a comparison between an opposing mandibular two ‐IOD and an opposing mandibular CD. The results were consistent with a parallel clinical study in which the rate of premaxilla bone resorption was almost three times greater in the IOD group. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontics)
