   MeSH:	DENTAL RESTORATION WEAR DENTAL MATERIALS CERAMICS POLYMERS
   Abstract:	Knowledge of wear characteristics of esthetic prosthetic materials is essential in everyday dental practice. To establish a new, original, method and produce a device for examining wear characteristics of constructive prosthetic materials, to assess the wear characteristics of different esthetic prosthetic materials and to examine the relationship in a wear pair: natural tooth - prosthetic material. The study was performed on a modified device Taber abraser on samples of six different esthetic prosthetic materials. The wear is smallest for samples of alumina ceramics (Creation and d.Sign), and greatest for polymer (Chromasit) and ceromer material (Targis). The smallest wear factors were established for alumina ceramics as well. The study has resulted in the development of a new method and new device for examining the wear characteristics of prosthetic materials.

   Type of Article:	case report
   MeSH:	DENTAL MATERIALS CERAMICS GLASS IONOMER CEMENTS
   Abstract:	Glass ceramics is a polycrystal material which is obtained by controlled crystallisation of glass. During the controlled crystallisation of glass a two-phase material emerges: crystals and an amorphous glass matrix. The development of crystals, several micrometers in size, takes place during the procedure of heating the total volume of glass, formation of germs and growth of crystals. The germs are either latently present in the glass or are added as an insoluble material in the finely dispersed distribution of the mixture (glass amorphous mass). Glass ceramic systems exist for laboratory fabrication and machine milling of finished ceramic blocks. By the method of casting and heat pressing glass ceramics materials are obtained with excellent mechanical and aesthetic properties for fabrication single crowns, inlays and onlays and also of three-unit bridges.

   Title in English:	Contact Sensitivity to Dental Prosthetic Materials - Alloys
   Title in Croatian:	Kontaktna preosjetljivost na stomatološke protetske materijale - slitine
   Type of Article:	review
   MeSH:	DENTAL ALLOYS + adverse effects HYPERSENSITIVITY
   Abstract:	Type IV reactions, reactions of delayed hypersensitivity, are manifestations of cellular immunity. Such reactions are caused by sensitised T-lymphocytes. In dental medicine contact sensitivity is of particular interest, as restorations are in long-term direct contact with oral tissues and saliva and during function they wear and bend, leading to corrosive processes which result in the release of ions, their accumulation in the tissues and possible sensitivity, i.e. allergic reaction. Dentists need to chose alloys with less tendency to the release of ions, in other words good biotolerance. It is recommended that the use of alloy with a high share of nickel should be avoided. Patch test is indicated for all patients with a history of hypersensitivity to metal or other materials used in the construction of a prosthetic restoration.

   Title in English:	A Method for Testing Abrasive Weare of Aesthetic Prosthetic Materials
   Title in Croatian:	Metoda za ispitivanje abrazijskoga trošenja estetskih protetskih materijala
   Type of Article:	preliminary report
   MeSH:	DENTAL RESTORATION WEAR CERAMICS POLYMERS
   Abstract:	Friction and wear occur due to the contact of surfaces which are more or less rough. During abrasive wear the extrusion of material occurs, caused by hard particles which apply pressure toward the surface or slide along it (three-body abrasive wear) or by hard protrusions (two-body abrasive wear). Because of demands to provide a satisfactory aesthetic mastication surface the clinician is faced with the problem of the choice of material for veneering.The article describes a method for testing abrasive wear of pairs of tooth-prosthetic material for veneering. In order to test the method two different prosthetic veneering materials were tested (polymer material SR Chromasit, Ivoclar and Clay ceramic, Sign-Ivoclar) on a modified Taber abraser, in dry conditions. Significant differences were determined in the wear scars on specimens of the tested materials. The method enables the testing of specimens of different materials mutually or in a pair with a natural tooth, under different loading and with or without a third body (food or artificial saliva), which in clinical practice represents valuable data during the choice of the type of construction and veneering material.

   MeSH:	CORROSION GINGIVAL CERVICULAR FLUID DENTAL MATERIALS
   Abstract:	Corrosion of prosthetic restorations and simultaneous wear during usage leads to damage of the restoration and harmful reactions on the surrounding tissues or even on distant organs. The aim of this study was to identify the ions Au, Pt, Ag and Pd in the gingival fluid of patients with fixed prosthetic appliances and to determine the mass of ions in the obtained sample . The study included 20 subjects: of which 15 had fixed prosthetic appliances and the same level of hygiene, and 5 without have any prosthetic appliances, who served as a control group. The prosthetic appliances were made from alloy compounds: Au - Pt, Au - Pt, Ag - Pd, Ni - Cr, fixed in the mouths: from 1-14 days, and 3-8 years. Samples were obtained by placing adsorbent paper (AP) in the gingival sulcus (GS) of the abutment tooth for a period of ten minutes. AP with samples gingival fluid (ST) were analysed by means of a mass spectrometer with fused plasma (ICP-MS). The results were statistically analysed by the programme packet SPSS, with descriptive statistics and correlation of samples. In the whole sample statistically significant correlation was found for the concentrations of Ag, Au and Pt, while the concentration of Pd was characteristic for each sample. Analysis of the results in the control group did not reveal statistically significant correlation for the same inter-relations. In the sub-group Ag-Pd alloys statistically significant correlation was established between the concentrations of Ag, Au and Pd, and the most marked correlation found was between the concentrations of Au and Pd. Statistically significant differences were determined in the concentrations of Pt between the subgroups with new appliances, with the highest value in the group of Au alloy (P=0.023) in comparison with the control group. Statistically significant changes were determined in the values of Ag (P=0.011) and Pt (P=0.039), with a fall in the values of both metals in subjects with older prosthetic appliances.

   Title in English:	Investigation of Contact Allergies to Component and Auxiliary Prosthetic Materials
   Title in Croatian:	Ispitivanje kontaktne alergije na gradivne i pomoćne protetske materijale
   Type of Article:	original scientific paper
   MeSH:	HYPERSENSITIVITY DENTAL MATERIALS
   Abstract:	Contact allergy is a delayed reaction to sensitivity in which a localised lesion of the skin or mucous membrane occurs as a result of contact with an allergen. The fitting of a fixed, or placement of a mobile, prosthetic appliance in the oral cavity causes corrosive processes to occur on the surface of the restoration and the release of ions which, as haptens, can induce allergic reaction. The aim of this investigation was to examine the occurrence of allergies to component and auxiliary prosthetic materials by patch test in patients with lichen ruber planus, stomatitis and stomatopyrosis. Thirtytwo patients with fixed and/or mobile restorations and seven patients with one of the above diagnoses without a restoration, participated in the investigation. Testing was carried out by standard technique (patch test) with 13 allergens. The results of the investigation indicate the greater probability of a positive patch test in subjects with the aforementioned diseases and with a restoration, in relation to subjects without a restoration (P = 0.62). The probability of symptoms worsening increased with the insertion/ fitting of a fixed or placement of a mobile restoration (P = 0.019). This was particularly so in the case of restorations made of Co-Cr-Mo alloy. With the increase in the number of units of fixed restorations, or the presence of mobile restorations in both jaws, the probability of a positive patch test to cobalt chloride also increased (P = 0.05). Lichen ruber planus increased the probability of a positive patch test in the majority of cases (P = 0.05). The greatest number of positive results were for the allergens nickel, cobalt and chrome (each 17.95%) and a negative finding was obtained for dibutylphthalate and HH mix. Stomatopyrosis increased the probability that the subject would have a positive result for chrome (P = 0.019). The occurrence of a positive patch test was greater in women for all allergens (P = 0.05), apart from epoxy resin, where it was less than in the male subjects (P=0.036). Because of the greater incidence of contact allergies in the population a more detailed investigation of prosthetic materials is needed prior to their introduction into clinical practice. In the case of patients with atopic history allergological testing and immunological tests should be performed prior to prosthetic treatment.

   Title in Croatian:	Raščlamba fiksnoprotetskih radova u pacijenata metkovićevske regije
   Type of Article:	original scientific paper
   MeSH:	DENTURE, PARTIAL, FIXED
   Abstract:	Epidemiological studies on the condition of existing or the need for new fixed prosthodontic appliances, with the purpose of planning required prosthetic teams, improved materials and methods, are essential in modern prosthodontics.The aim of this study was to evaluate the aesthetic material used in patients with fixed prosthodontic appliances in the Metkovi} region and determine the frequency of crowns and bridges in relation to age, gender, level of education, employment, socio-economic status and frequency of regular visits to the dentist. examination The study included 212 patients, wearing fixed prosthodontic appliances, who were examined in the dental office (clinic) at the Metkovi} Medical Centre during 2001.Descriptive statistics and (2 tests were used during data analysis. The following conclusions were made: 1. The older group of patients had significantly more bridges than crowns (p<0.01). There was no significant difference between gender with regard to the distribution of crowns and bridges (p>0.05), or between patients of different levels of education (p>0.05). Retired patients had significantly more bridges than crowns compared to employed or unemployed patients (p<0.,05). Patients who visit their dentist regularly (once a year or more often) had significantly more crowns than bridges compared to the patients who visit their dentist irregularly or when in pain (p<0.01). This group (irregular visits to their dentist) had more teeth extracted and consequently bridges than the patients who regularly visit their dentist . There was no significant difference between patients with regard to crown and bridge prevalence, depending on the age when they first visited the dentist (p>0.,05). Less educated patients had more fixed prosthodontic appliances older than 10 years than better educated patients (p<0.01). 2. Relatively high frequency of porcelain (64%) was recorded in comparison to acrylic material (36%). There was no difference in gender depending on the material used (p>0.05). Patients older than 60 and less educated patients had more acrylic appliances than younger patients (<39 years) who had mainly only ceramic appliances (p<0.01).

   MeSH:	BRUXISM
   Abstract:	Bruxism exists as long as humanity; since barbarian times, through the Bible and christianity until the modern stressful age. According to American Sleep Disorders Association, the prevalence of bruxism varies from 5 to 20 per cent. This difference can be related to the lack of awareness in eighty per cent of the popullation that has some form of teeth clenching and/or grinding. Many studies have been published, but the results are still contradictory. There is a large scale of different etiological and therapeutical approaches presented in the scientific literature, but the main problem - bruxism in every day practice often remains undetected and badly treated.

   MeSH:	ALVEOLAR BONE LOSS + etiology DENTURE, COMPLETE + adverse effects
   Abstract:	Alveolar bone loss (RRR) is a continuous process following tooth extraction, more pronounced during the first few month after the tooth extraction than later. The RRR in the mandible is twice that of the maxilla during a 1-year period and the mandibular: maxillary resorption ratio increases further to 4:1 after 7 years. The RRR results in reduction of face height and counterclockwise rotation of the mandible. So far, the etiology of RRR has not been elucidated. It has been speculated that both systemic and local factors contribute. However, one of the local factors is daytime or daytime and night time denture wearing. The aim of this study was to analyze the rate of RRR in five different regions of both jaws on lateral cephalograms of 100 complete denture wearers during a one-year period and to compare the rate of RRR in daytime only and daytime + night-time denture wearers. The height of residual ridges was measured on 5 different sites at the delivery of the dentures and a year later using a calibrated grid. The results revealed significant RRR in the one year period (p<0.01), which was 2.5x bigger in the mandible than in the maxilla. Higher rate of RRR was recorded at frontal sites of the maxillary and mandibular residual ridges compared to lateral sites (p<0.01). Night-time denture wearing made no significant influence on the rate of RRR on any of the five examined sites of the maxilla or the mandible (p>0.05).

    Abstract:	The cause of bruxism is still unknown. The most commonly referred factor in the etiology of bruxism is that of psychogenic origin. This study was an attempt to evaluate the role of stress, psycho emotional tension and anxiety in the etiology of bruxism. The aim was also to determine a connection between certain psychosomatic symptoms and bruxism. The analysis showed statistically significant difference (p < 0.02) in the results of the anxiety and stress test between the bruxism group and the control group. It was concluded that there is a higher level of psychoemotional tension, stress and anxiety in patients with bruxism. Higher frequency of psychosomatic symptoms (tachycardia, palpitation) was also present in the group with bruxism than in the control group (p<0.01). These results point out the importance of certain psychosomatic factors in the etiology of bruxism.

    Abstract:	The object of this study is the occurrence of caries in Croatian Army recruits with regard to specific qualities of certain social communities. Caries was diagnosed in 190 recruits by means of DMFT index. Subjects were classified according to residence (urban, suburban, rural) and age. Healthy teeth were determined in 5 (2.6%) subjects. The average DMFT value was 7.76 (DT:2.03; MT:1.49; FT:4.25). Statistically significant difference was found between DT (p = 0.009) and FT (p < 0.001) values depending on residence. For rural environment the following values were established DT:2.59 and FT:2.87, and for urban environment DT:1.52 and FT:5.48. Subject values according to age were DMFT (p = 0.008), DT (p < 0.001), MT (p = 0.022) and FT (p < 0.001). The study of caries frequency in recruits is incentive for further systematic studies in smaller socio economic groups and reveals the necessity for improvement in preventive program both during childhood and adolescence.

    MeSH:	POST AND CORE TECHNIQUE DENTAL RESTORATION WEAR
    Abstract:	Loss of a part or complete clinical crown of tooth results in functional and aesthetic impairment of dental arch and complete stomatognathic system. Such teeth, as well as endodontically treated teeth, during reconstructive prosthodontic therapy need to be treated with posts and cores. The aim of the investigation was to measure and compare the dynamic loading resistance of endodonticallytreated teeth with cast metal and prefabricated posts and cores, under dynamic loading fatigue of 800N-1000N, with specific regard to variable root preparation width. The investigation included 48 human lower second premolars of similar dimensions, divided in 4 groupsaccording to type of post and core system (each 6mm long) which they received. 1) prefabricated narrow post and core (Maillefer Switzerland, Size 1) 2) prefabricated wide post and core (Maillefer Switzerland, Size 3B) 3) cast metal narrow post and core 4) cast metal wide post and core. Modified Voss & Meiners dynamic loading tests were performed within a field of 800N-1000N in high frequencypulsator. Teeth with prefabricated narrow posts demonstratedthe highest average dynamic loading resistance of 9.050.622 cycles under 800N until fracture, while teeth with cast metal wide posts demonstrated the lowest average dynamic loading resistance of 3.522.611 cycles under 1000N until fracture. Significant influence of root preparation width on dynamic loading resistance for all typesof posts was determined by ANOVA (p<0.05), with narrow posts demonstrating more fracture resistance. Prefabricated posts and cores demonstrate stable dynamic loading resistance and better intraradicular retention than cast metal posts and cores.

    Type of Article:	original scientific paper
    MeSH:	DENTURE, PARTIAL, FIXED RADIOGRAPHY, PANORAMIC
    Abstract:	The aim of this study was to screen patients with fixed prosthodontic appliances, in the mouth for a period of 5 years or more, for root caries and pocket formation, deeper than 3 mm. The aim was also to determine the difference between frequency of pathologic findings for different materials of fixed prosthodontic appliances (FPA), or between abutments and natural teeth. A total of 260 patients (55% women and 45% men) aged from 25 to 70 years, who had a fixed prosthodontic appliance for a period of 5 years or more in their mouth and who were fully satisfied, participated in the study. A total of 260 orthopantomographs were analysed with 2265 teeth, 864 were abutments of the bridges, 407 crowns and the rest natural teeth. Radiographs were analysed for root caries and pocket formation. The results reveal relatively high incidence of pathologic findings (caries, periodontal pockets > 3 mm) in patients with FPDs older than 5 years. Periodontal pockets were more frequent than cervical caries. The highest frequency of pathologic findings was registered for abutments with metal acrylic crowns, and the lowest frequency of pathologic findings was registered for abutments with metal-ceramic crowns (p<0.05). There were no significant differences between abutments with metal-ceramic crowns and non-abutment teeth (p>0.05). There were no significant differences in caries incidence between the examined teeth (p>0.05). Non-abutment teeth and abutments of metal-ceramic crowns had significantly lower frequency of pockets deeper than 3 mm than abutments of metal acrylic and fullmetallic crowns (p<0.05).
