Improvements in the M test as a screening measure for malingering.

Recent studies of the M have failed to confirm its effectiveness as a screening measure for malingering. The present study involved a further analysis of 99 cases reported by Gillis et al. and the construction of Rule-Out and Rule-In scales. Both scales evidence excellent internal reliability, and their combined use was effective in accurately screening greater than 80 percent of potential malingerers.

Metal ceramic compatibility: a review of the literature.

Metal ceramic restorations are popular in restorative dentistry. Although bonding mechanisms are understood, defining compatibility of alloy and porcelain has been illusive. Chemical compatibility implies a chemical bond between ceramic and alloy that resists stresses resulting from thermal and mechanical incompatibility without compromising esthetics. Research has attempted to predict and test compatibility with varying degrees of success. Despite the success of metal ceramic restorations over the years, compatibility remains undefined without standardized testing procedures. For optimal results, the dentist should communicate with experienced laboratory personnel to meet the specific needs of the patient.
