Abstract

The comparative stability of two removable die systems was evaluated. Under controlled conditions, ten casts, each with two removable dies, were constructed for each system for a total of 20 casts and 40 removable dies. Base-line pre- and postsectioning measurements to within 0.0001 inch in horizontal and vertical planes were recorded and differences calculated. Each die was removed and re-placed 30 times prior to any postsectioning measurement. The results indicated small inconsistent horizontal deviations and consistent vertical deviations for both systems. The Pindex system deviations were slightly less than those of the Di-Lok system, although t test values preclude any conclusion of significance. The results of this investigation indicate the need for dentists and dental laboratory technicians to exercise care in the utilization of any removable die system so as to obtain optimum accuracy and stability in the relationships of the components of that system.

Fabrication of custom clips for bar-and-clip attachments for implant-supported overdentures.

Bar-and-clip attachments for dental implants are a common and versatile device for improving the retention and stability of a removable prosthesis. Manufactured clips may be unsubstantial and may not always fit or provide the desired amount of retention for the bar. The purpose of this article is to describe a technique for custom fabrication of clip attachments. The wax pattern of the clips is fabricated and then cast in dental gold alloy. The gold clips are then cut to an appropriate size that will allow for a variety of clinical applications.

[Effects of laser welding on bond of porcelain fused cast pure titanium].

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of the laser welding on bond of porcelain fused to cast pure titanium. METHODS: Twenty cast titanium plates were divided into two groups: laser welded group and control group. The low-fusing porcelain was fused to the laser welded cast pure titanium plates at fusion zone. The bond strength of the porcelain to laser welded cast pure titanium was measured by the three-point bending test. The interface of titanium and porcelain was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy depressive X-ray detector (EDX). The non-welded titanium plates were used as comparison. RESULTS: No significant difference of the bond strength was found between laser-welded samples [(46.85 +/- 0.76) MPa] and the controls [(41.71 +/- 0.55) MPa] (P > 0.05). The SEM displayed the interface presented similar irregularities with a predominance. The titanium diffused to low-fusing porcelain, while silicon and aluminum diffused to titanium basement. CONCLUSIONS: Laser welding does not affect low-fusing porcelain fused to pure titanium.
