Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of a new zirconia primer on bond strength between resin composite and zirconia. Methods: 32 zirconia blocks were manufactured and randomly divided into 4 groups and received different surface-treatments. Group A: alumina sandblasted; Group B: alumina sandblasted followed by silica coating via sol-gel process combined by applying silane couple agent; Group C: alumina sandblasted followed by applying a ceramic primer contained 10-MDP monomer; Group D: alumina sandblasted followed by applying a new zirconia experimental primer. 32 light-cured composite resin cylinders were prepared and bonded on the zirconia discs using a conventional Bis-GMA based resin cement. Then, shear bond strengths (SBS) and modes of failure were determined. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) were used for characterization of zirconia treated by the experimental primer, and FTIR was used for characterization of the experimental primer. Results: According to statistical analysis, group A presented the lowest SBS values, while group D presented the highest mean SBS values. Conclusion: Using of the new zirconia experimental primer increases the short-time bond strength of zirconia.

[Abstract] Objective To analyze the related factors of the prognosis after replantation of the avulsed young permanent teeth. Methods 50 avulsed young permanent teeth of 46 patients from the clinic which were replanted based on the guideline of the teeth injuries were observed, from 2008 to 2011, about the storage pattern, replantation time, the development level of the root, time of pulp remove and the prognosis. The observing period lasted from 6 months to 2 years. Results 74% of 50 teeth were in dry storage and 70% came to clinic over 60 min after injury. The less root development was (Nolla 7), the longer pulp necrosis needed to be observed. The closer root development was to completion (Nolla 9), the faster dental pulp necrosis appeared. Conclusion The prognosis is better in the condition of shorter root development and shorter time of dry storage in the young permanent teeth avulsion.

Abstract: Objectives To explore the novel method to obtain the occlusal vertical dimension so as to find out the relationship between occlusal vertical dimension and marking points of facial hard and soft tissue. Method The study sample consisted of 100 participants, who were older than 50 and had stable occlusal relation. We overlapped the X-ray lateral radiographs and digital lateral photos with Photoshop, measured vertical dimension, the lengths and angles among facial hard and soft tissue marking points, and analyzed the relationship between lengths and angles among facial anatomical marking points and occlusal vertical distances. Result The mean value of occlusal vertical dimension was (62.83±6.11) mm, which was obviously related to age, but had no obvious relationship with gender. After the correlation test, we found that occlusal vertical dimension had strong correlations with several lengths among facial anatomical marking points, that they showed a certain linear relation, and that the mandibular plane angel was an important factor of the above mentioned correlation. Conclusion Facial anatomical marking points have certain referential value for obtaining occlusal vertical dimension clinically.
