The introduction of CAD/CAM technology in dentistry opened the way for the use of numerous materials for prosthetic restorations: dental alloys, ceramic masses, zirconia, PMMA, etc. One of the materials suitable for CAD/CAM technology is zirconia, used either ceramic-plated or full-contour, through its mechanical and optical properties. Zirconia, p...

Introducere Inteligenţa artificială (IA), definită ca o ramură a informaticii care se concentrează pe dezvoltarea sistemelor și a tehnologiilor capabile să simuleze și să imite comportamentul uman inteligent, incluzând procesarea datelor, învăţarea automata (machine learning) si luarea de decizii pentru a rezolva probleme sau pentru a executa sarci...

Static guided surgery for dental implant insertion is a well-documented procedure requiring the manufacturing of a custom-made surgical guide, either teeth-supported, mucosal-supported, bone-supported, or mixed (teeth-mucosal-supported), depending on the clinical situation. The guidance of the surgical drills during implant bed preparation could be...

The First World War was and is considered the most terrible conflagration of all time. Thus, over 65,000,000 soldiers made up the corps of land armies, naval and air forces, combat armies that participated in the conduct of military operations during the First World War. About 8,500,000 people died and more than 21,000,000 were injured. France was...

Sedentary behavior, both professional, occupational, and leisure, recreational, is one of the major risk factors for cardio-metabolic health and premature mortality. But we find this sedentary behavior in many of the existing professional activities in 2021, among which are the professional activities with a medical profile in the field of dentistr...

Sedentary behavior, both professional, occupational, leisure and recreational, is one of the major risk factors for cardio-metabolic health and premature mortality.

Overdenture is a type of treatment suitable for subtotal and complete edentulous patients and is characterized by making a total prosthesis, with the mucosal face embedding remaining teeth (remaining roots) or dental implants. In this material we will try to present some practical aspects, regarding retained overdenture with magnetic systems fixed...

When talking about dental assistance we actually refer to the prevention, detection and treatment of diseases of the oral and maxillo-facial region which, in most cases, have as a starting point or interest the dento-maxillary system. In this material, we tried to present a comparative study on the typology and complexity of different stages of den...

Flexible dentures are an increasingly interesting prosthetic alternative both for dental practitioners (dentists and dental technicians), but also for patients. This type of prosthetic restoration can rehabilitate a wide range of edentulous, but the financial effort that patients have to make is more consistent than in the case of a partial acrylic...

Purpose of the study: The aim of the study is to analyze the way the disinfectants embedded in the plaster affect the setting linear dimensional stability, flexural and compressive strength of dental stone models. Material and Methods: Samples were made of type IV dental stone in which different disinfectants had been incorporated (sodium hypochlor...

Introduction. In general, implant-prosthetic restorations, whether they are fixed or mobile, and regardless of their location (maxillary or mandibular), imply slightly different design and conceiving criteria, compared to the conventional prosthetic restorations already known. Purpose. In this material we tried to present some general and particula...

Purpose of the study: The aim of the study is to assess the influence of surface conditioning of fiberglass posts through etching and sandblasting, on retention to root canal. Material and method: 30 maxillary single root teeth were endodontic treated and were sectioned at 2mm from enamel-dentine junction. After root canal instrumentation, fibergla...

The aim of this study is to provide an overview of management in the dental laboratory activity. Materials and methods. The research was based on a prospective survey implemented using a questionnaire with 10 questions applied to a sample of 20 laboratories. The results obtained show the complexity of actions and decisions involved in the manageria...

Objective. The purpose of this study is to draw attention of dental medicine specialist’s team on risks they are exposed to, by modifying treatment plans in order to fit medical tourism programs. Material and method. In this study a questionnaire was applied to a number of 173 dentists with different specializations, regarding the adaption of treat...

Keywords: flapless surgery, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), computer-aided design/ computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) stereolitographic template Abstract: Computer aided implant planning and placement has been developed in the past years allowing for more efficient preoperative patient evaluation and safe restorative driven implant insert...

We deem that the marketing concept in dental technique may be applied both to an individual dental technique laboratory being strictly meant to dental practices, or it may be applied to a well- defined structure of dental practice – dental technique laboratory (or to a dentist – dental technician team). In this preliminary study, based on two disti...

Measurement of marginal bone is one of the most reliable criteria for establishing dental implant treatment success rate. If an implant is still in function but is not tested with respect of success criteria is considered as surviving. The aim of the present retrospective study was to evaluate long term treatment success with mandibular two-implant...

Rezumat: Obiectiv: Studiul îşi propune să verifice existenţa unei corelaţii între tipul de anomalie dentomaxilară şi un anumit tipar de uzură dentară la pacienţii tineri. Material şi metodă: 37 de studenţi ai Facultăţii de Medicină Dentară din cadrul Universităţii de Medicină şi Farmacie „Carol Davila” din Bucureşti au fost selecţionați conform uno...

În odontologie, leziunile carioase cu localizare la nivelul coletului dentar reprezintă o entitate distinctă, datorită particularităţilor morfo-funcţionale ale zonei; terapia acestora pune probleme legate de viabilitatea şi durata restaurărilor. Scopul lucrării de faţă este acela de a pune în evidenţă deficienţele, ce pot să apară în timp la nivelu...

După tratamentul uzual de carie simplă, apare destul de frecvent o complicaţie neplăcută, cunoscută sub numele de hipersensibilitate dureroasă postoperatorie. Scopul lucrării este acela de a atrage atenţia asupra acestei complicaţii destul de frecventă şi de puţin cunoscută de către medicul dentist. Această afecţiune prezintă o varietate de manifes...
