“…19 Summing up the results of our study, we can conclude that irregular brushing promotes poor oral hygiene and, consequently, increases the need for dental treatment, especially surgical treatment. Patients brushing teeth 3 times a day or more often had the best oral hygiene.…”

The marginal fit of lithium disilicate crowns: Press vs. CAD/CAM Abstract: This study aimed to compare the vertical marginal gap of teeth restored with lithium disilicate crowns fabricated using CAD/CAM or by pressed ceramic approach. Twenty mandibular third molar teeth were collected after surgical extractions and prepared to receive full veneer crowns. Teeth were optically scanned and lithium disilicate blocks were used to fabricate crowns using CAD/CAM technique. Polyvinyl siloxane impressions of the prepared teeth were made and monolithic pressed lithium disilicate crowns were fabricated. The marginal gap was measured using optical microscope at 200× magnification (Keyence VHX-5000, Japan). Statistical analysis was performed using Wilcoxon test. The lithium disilicate pressed crowns had significantly smaller (p = 0.006) marginal gaps (38 ± 12 µm) than the lithium disilicate CAD/CAM crowns (45 ± 12 µm). This research indicates that lithium disilicate crowns fabricated with the press technique have measurably smaller marginal gaps compared with those fabricated with CAD/CAM technique within in vitro environments. The marginal gaps achieved by the crowns across all groups were within a clinically acceptable range.

“…In fact, the definition of oral health states that: “Oral health is multi-faceted and includes the ability to speak, smile, smell, taste, touch, chew, swallow and convey a range of emotions through facial expressions with confidence and without pain, discomfort and disease of the craniofacial complex.” The FDI also recognises further attributes of oral health, including: “it is a fundamental component of health and physical and mental well-being. It exists along a continuum influenced by the values and attitudes of people and communities; It reflects the physiological, social, and psychological attributes that are essential to the quality of life; and, it is influenced by the person’s changing experiences, perceptions, expectations, and ability to adapt to circumstances.”36 On a global scale, major oral health inequalities exist both within and between countries in terms of disease severity and prevalence 37. Public health officials claim that the majority of dental disease is preventable; yet, in May 2013, Marcenes et al reported that oral conditions affected 3.9 billion people 38.…”
