TL;DR: This study evaluated the influence on dimensional accuracy of dental casts made with different types of trays and impression materials and poured at different and multiple times and found silicone impression material has better dimensional stability than polyether.

TL;DR: Electron diffraction patterns indicated that all titanium alloys were covered mainly with rutile-type oxide (TiO(2)) after corrosion tests, and commercially pure titanium and Ti-5Al-2.5Fe were the most resistant to corrosion.

TL;DR: The study found significantly differences in the energy-to-break of titanium-porcelain systems treated with hydrochloric acid and sandblasting compared with the control group and the bonds strength achieved by the titanium- porcelain system when treated with Hydrochloric Acid is comparable to that of conventional metal-ceramic alloy system.

TL;DR: The results of the survey indicated that the majority of prosthodontists and prosthetists are using room temperature-vulcanized silicone products, intrinsically colored with dry earth pigments or artist's pigments, and the need for further research in materials for external prostheses was clearly indicated.

TL;DR: Investigation of the corrosion behavior of dental metallic materials in the presence of Streptococcus mutans and its growth byproducts finds that S. mutans reduced the EOCP of CPT, TAV, TN, and SSL, and the byproducts of S. Mutans increased the ICORR of all the samples.
