   MeSH:	DENTAL CASTING INVESTMENT DENTAL SOLDERING
   Abstract:	The investments used in the soldering procedure should provide a good soldering connection without causing any dimensional changes. In this research, the influence of investments with different expansions on the investment soldering procedures was investigated. For this purpose, following the preparation of the experimentalmodels which represented the abutment teeth, standard bridge restorations were fabricated. After placing bridge restorations onto the abutment teeth, 10 kilograms of standard force was applied for setting the restorations and marginal openings were measured fromsix fixed points. The bridge restorations, which were subjected to standard separations, were divided into three groups and embedded in the investment block by using investments with different thermal expansions. The samples were then soldered by preheating + torch technique and marginal openings of each bridge prosthesis at the sixpredetermined measuring points were evaluated and recorded. The marginal opening values before and after the soldering and the differences between them were statistically analyzed. In pre-ceramic soldering of base metal alloys, the usage of special soldering investments with low thermal expansion cannot compensate for the expansion of metal during the soldering process and therefore causesthe soldering space to shorten and leads to dimensional changes in the prosthesis.

   Title in English:	A Different Impression Technique for a Single Tooth Crown Over the ITI Implant
   Title in Croatian:	nema
   Type of Article:	congress abstract
   MeSH:	DENTAL IMPRESSION TECHNIQUE CROWNS DENTAL IMPLANTS, SINGLE-TOOTH
   Abstract:	The single tooth implant has common use in the field of implant dentistry and many studies report high success rates. Improvements in implant design, range of prosthetic components and restorative materials have made it possible to achieve optimal cosmetic results, although tissue contouring problems may sometimes limit optimum aesthetics, especially in the anterior maxilla. This case report describes a different impression technique, by using zinc-oxide eugenol impression paste, to take a precise impression of the periimplant tissues around the subgingival part of the ITI implant, to achieve an optimal cosmetic effect.
