The relationship between pregnancy and temporomandibular disorder (TMD) through diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders (DC/TMD) axis II evaluation: a case-control cross-sectional study

Fracture resistance of CAD/CAM endocrowns made from different materials in maxillary premolar interproximal defects

lithium disilicate glass ceramics exhibited higher FRVs, they had a
lower repair probability. In contrast, polymer-infiltrated ceramics and
resin-based nanoceramics contributed to tooth structure preservation.Clinical relevanceFor
maxillary premolars with interproximal defects following root canal

more effective than pharmapain in reducing pain severity at inserting
