In vitro investigation on extensively destroyed vital teeth: is fracture force a limiting factor for direct restoration?
Summary To evaluate the in vitro fracture load of extensively damaged vital teeth after either direct or indirect restauration, severe tooth substance loss was simulated for 96 molars. Subsequently, two cavities were prepared with little (design 1) or more substantial (design 2) residual tooth support. All molars were provided with a 2?mm ferrule design and then divided into 12 test groups based on their occlusal surface size. They were restored with composite or with either of two types of single crown (cast metal or milled zirconia). After thermal ageing (10 000 cycles at 6·5 and 60 °C), 1·2 million cycles of chewing simulation were applied (64 N). Maximum fracture load was determined with a loading angle of 45°. Statistical analysis was performed by use of Kaplan–Meier modell…

Association between near occlusal contact areas and mixing ability
This study investigated the relationship between occlusal contact and near?contact areas defined by clenching intensity using electromyograms (EMGs) and mixing ability assessed with colour?changeable chewing gum. Participants comprised 44 dentate adults (24 men, 20 women) with a mean age of 28·2 ± 6·8 years. Silicone material was used to measure the occlusal contact and near?contact areas (the area of each type of tooth, the total area of the first molar and second molar, the second premolar to the second molar and the first premolar to the second molar) defined by clenching intensity at 10% maximum voluntary contraction (MVC). Colour?changeable chewing gum was used to assess mixing ability. A colorimeter was used to measure colour changes, and the calculated colour differenc…
