Information</h2> <div> <p>Dear Colleagues,</p> <p>In the last decade, the development of innovative technologies has moved in parallel with a rapid evolution of restorative materials on the rails of digital dentistry, opening new horizons in the field of prosthodontics. In daily practice, the most advanced technologies, such as CAD-CAM, laser-sintering/melting and 3D-printing, have been synergistically implemented with enhanced mechanical and manufacturing properties of the new generation of dental materials: high strength ceramics, hybrid composites, technopolymers, and high precision alloys. Among these, CAD-CAM metal-free ceramics, just like high strength polycrystalline ceramics, such as zirconia, and reinforced glassy ceramics, such as lithium disilicate, offer undeniable advantages, for example, high esthetic potential, astounding optical characteristics, reliable mechanical properties, excellent consistency in terms of precision and accuracy due to the manufacturing technologies, and more convenient production timing. These improvements have dramatically widened the restorative choices in tooth- and implant-supported prosthodontics.</p> <p>The editorial board of the <em>dentistry journal</em> would encourage high quality original research studies, clinical articles, and reviews focused on the topic of restorative materials in the digital workflow.</p> <p>Prof. Dr. Roberto Sorrentino<br />Prof. Dr. Gianrico Spagnuolo <br /><em>Guest Editors</em></p> <p><p><strong>Manuscript Submission Information</strong><p> <p>Manuscripts should be submitted online at <a href="https://www.mdpi.com/">www.mdpi.com</a> by <a href="https://www.mdpi.com/user/register/">registering</a> and <a href="https://www.mdpi.com/user/login/">logging in to this website</a>.

For this, 31 cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of 14 girls and 17 boys (aged 9–13) with unilateral cleft lip and/or palate who met the inclusion criteria were analyzed. Efficacy and reliability of third party software Osirix for bone volume calculation was assessed using as acquired and oriented volumes by three specialists (a radiologist, an orthodontist, and an oral maxillofacial surgeon). The dataset and readings were anonymized to prevent any bias. Two-way mixed model analysis on as-acquired and oriented observations exhibited intra-class coefficient (ICC) values ≥ 0.90. Wilcoxon signed rank test (<i>p</i> = 0.10) and Kruskal–Wallis ANOVA (<i>p</i> = 0.46) indicated that although a clinical difference in volume assessment was seen between as-acquired and oriented observations (inter-observer and intra-observer), it was statistically insignificant. Spearman’s bi-variate correlation analysis revealed a significant relation between the type (side) of cleft and bone volume required to fill the defect (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Although there was clinical difference in bone volume measurement by the three observers, it was insignificant statistically. Clefts on the left side in the patients had significantly more bone required than the right side, whereas age and gender had no relation with bone needed to fill the defect. OsiriX software provided good reliability in measurements of bone volume. <a href="/2304-6767/9/2/14">Full article</a> </div> </div> <div class="belongsTo" style="margin-bottom: 10px;"> (This article belongs to the Special Issue <a href=" /journal/dentistry/special_issues/Restorative_Materials ">Restorative Materials in the Digital Workflow: Innovative Trends to Join Esthetics and Biomechanics</a>)<br/> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2304-6767/9/2/14/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev484952"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next484952"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next484952" data-cycle-prev="#prev484952" data-cycle-progressive="#images484952" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-484952-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-09-00014/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-09-00014-g001-550.jpg?1611307544" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Figure 1</p></div><script id="images484952" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-484952-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-09-00014/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-09-00014-g002-550.jpg?1611307544'><p>Figure 2</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='2' data-target='article-484952-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-09-00014/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-09-00014-g003-550.jpg?1611307544'><p>Figure 3</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='3' data-target='article-484952-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-09-00014/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-09-00014-g004-550.jpg?1611307544'><p>Figure 4</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-484952-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline;

The distribution of this angle in the Caucasian population is still unknown. This study aimed to determine the distribution of the CoGoMe^ and its relationship with age, sagittal jaw relationship (ANPg^), and mandibular inclination (SN^GoGn) in patients from Southern Italy. The sample included 290 subjects (median14 years of age; Interquartile range, IQR, 12–17) with lateral cephalograms taken before the orthodontic treatment. The distribution of the CoGoMe^ was assessed with the Shapiro–Wilk test, and the differences according to the ANPg^ and the SN^GoGn were estimated using one-way ANOVA. Linear regression analysis was performed to evaluate how the CoGoMe^ varied according to age. The statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. The results showed that the CoGoMe^ was normally distributed (P = 0.290) with a mean value of 127.2° ± 7.7°. The distribution of the CoGoMe^ in groups with different SN^GoGn angles was significantly different (P < 0.001). These angles showed a positive association (Beta coefficient B = 0.6; 95% CI: 0.51, 0.67; P < 0.001). In growing patients, the CoGoMe^ decreased every year by 0.6° (B = −0.6; 95% CI: −1.05, −0.12; P = 0.014). In conclusion, the CoGoMe^ was associated with mandibular inclination and could be considered to be a predictor of vertical growth patterns. <a href="/2304-6767/7/4/104">Full article</a> </div> </div> <div class="belongsTo" style="margin-bottom: 10px;"> (This article belongs to the Special Issue <a href=" /journal/dentistry/special_issues/Restorative_Materials ">Restorative Materials in the Digital Workflow: Innovative Trends to Join Esthetics and Biomechanics</a>)<br/> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2304-6767/7/4/104/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev283219"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next283219"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next283219" data-cycle-prev="#prev283219" data-cycle-progressive="#images283219" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-283219-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-07-00104/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-07-00104-g001a-550.jpg?1577800675" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Figure 1</p></div><script id="images283219" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-283219-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-07-00104/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-07-00104-g001b-550.jpg?1577800674'><p>Figure 1 Cont.</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='2' data-target='article-283219-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-07-00104/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-07-00104-g002a-550.jpg?1577800675'><p>Figure 2</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='3' data-target='article-283219-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-07-00104/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-07-00104-g002b-550.jpg?1577800674'><p>Figure 2 Cont.</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='4' data-target='article-283219-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-07-00104/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-07-00104-g003-550.jpg?1577800675'><p>Figure 3</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='5' data-target='article-283219-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-07-00104/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-07-00104-g004-550.jpg?1577800675'><p>Figure 4</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-283219-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline; line-height: 200%"><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-07-00104/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-07-00104-g001a-550.jpg?1577800675" title=" <strong>Figure 1</strong><br/> <p>(<b>a</b>) Cephalometric analysis and landmarks.

Among these, the use of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) as the clasp of removable partial dentures has been proposed. The adhesive strength between the PEEK and acrylic resin influences the probability of denture fracture. To investigate the effect of PEEK surface treatments on the shear bond strength to acrylic resin, five surface treatment conditions of PEEK were analyzed: 1. no treatment; 2. ceramic primer application; 3. Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> sandblasting; 4. Rocatec; and 5. Rocatec with ceramic primer application, comparing with a metal primer-treated Co-Cr alloy. Two kinds of autopolymerizing resin (Unifast II and Palapress Vario) were used as bonding materials. The specimens were evaluated to determine the bond strength. Rocatec treatment with ceramic primer application yielded the highest bond strengths (12.71 MPa and 15.32 MPa, respectively, for Unifast II and Palapress Vario). When compared to a metal primer-treated Co-Cr alloy, the bond strength of PEEK to Unifast II was similar, whereas it was about 60% of that to Palapress Vario. Rocatec treatment, combined with ceramic primer, showed the highest bond strength of PEEK to acrylic resin. Treatment of PEEK will enable its use as the clasp of removable dentures and the fixation of PEEK prostheses. <a href="/2304-6767/7/3/82">Full article</a> </div> </div> <div class="belongsTo" style="margin-bottom: 10px;"> (This article belongs to the Special Issue <a href=" /journal/dentistry/special_issues/Restorative_Materials ">Restorative Materials in the Digital Workflow: Innovative Trends to Join Esthetics and Biomechanics</a>)<br/> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2304-6767/7/3/82/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev253868"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next253868"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next253868" data-cycle-prev="#prev253868" data-cycle-progressive="#images253868" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-253868-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-07-00082/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-07-00082-g001-550.jpg?1569455797" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Figure 1</p></div><script id="images253868" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-253868-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-07-00082/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-07-00082-g002-550.jpg?1569455797'><p>Figure 2</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='2' data-target='article-253868-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-07-00082/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-07-00082-g003-550.jpg?1569455797'><p>Figure 3</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='3' data-target='article-253868-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-07-00082/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-07-00082-g004-550.jpg?1569455797'><p>Figure 4</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-253868-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline; line-height: 200%"><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-07-00082/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-07-00082-g001-550.jpg?1569455797" title=" <strong>Figure 1</strong><br/> <p>Shear bond strength measurement.</p> <strong style='display: block; margin-top: 10px; font-size: 18px;'><a style='color: #fff' href='/2304-6767/7/3/82'>Full article</a></strong> "></a><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-07-00082/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-07-00082-g002-550.jpg?1569455797" title=" <strong>Figure 2</strong><br/> <p>Means and standard deviations of shear bond strengths for surface-treated polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and bonded resins.

Symmetry of the nasolabial area is one of the main factors of facial attractiveness as well as being the main objective of the treatment of cleft lip and palate (CLP). Technological advances in computer-guided visualization modes and their applications to three-dimensional stereophotogrammetry provide more practical opportunities and alternatives for facial analysis. Each study, however, uses different protocols for the acquisition and analysis of three-dimensional images. In addition, each study identifies different anthropometric points and calculates linear and angular measurements with overlapping protocols. Therefore, it is appropriate to define a standardization of the three-dimensional analysis of CLP patients to compare the studies of different research centers. The aim of this report is to propose a protocol to standardize the acquisition and analysis of three-dimensional images to evaluate the three-dimensional changes in the nasolabial area in cleft lip and palate patients undergoing pre-surgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM). <a href="/2304-6767/7/1/27">Full article</a> </div> </div> <div class="belongsTo" style="margin-bottom: 10px;"> (This article belongs to the Special Issue <a href=" /journal/dentistry/special_issues/Restorative_Materials ">Restorative Materials in the Digital Workflow: Innovative Trends to Join Esthetics and Biomechanics</a>)<br/> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2304-6767/7/1/27/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev211911"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next211911"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next211911" data-cycle-prev="#prev211911" data-cycle-progressive="#images211911" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-211911-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-07-00027/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-07-00027-g001-550.jpg?1571196963" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Figure 1</p></div><script id="images211911" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-211911-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-07-00027/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-07-00027-g002-550.jpg?1571196963'><p>Figure 2</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='2' data-target='article-211911-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-07-00027/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-07-00027-g003-550.jpg?1571196963'><p>Figure 3</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-211911-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline; line-height: 200%"><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-07-00027/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-07-00027-g001-550.jpg?1571196963" title=" <strong>Figure 1</strong><br/> <p>Three-dimensional acquisition of the face with anthropometric points.</p> <strong style='display: block; margin-top: 10px; font-size: 18px;'><a style='color: #fff' href='/2304-6767/7/1/27'>Full article</a></strong> "></a><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-07-00027/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-07-00027-g002-550.jpg?1571196963" title=" <strong>Figure 2</strong><br/> <p>The digital workflow in a sequence shows: a selection of the symmetry areas; creation of the symmetry plan; delimitation of the area to be analyzed; and the overlap of a mirrored hemiface.</p> <strong style='display: block; margin-top: 10px; font-size: 18px;'><a style='color: #fff' href='/2304-6767/7/1/27'>Full article</a></strong> "></a><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-07-00027/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-07-00027-g003-550.jpg?1571196963" title=" <strong>Figure 3</strong><br/> <p>Overlap 3D of the pre- and post-treatment faces.</p> <strong style='display: block; margin-top: 10px; font-size: 18px;'><a style='color: #fff' href='/2304-6767/7/1/27'>Full article</a></strong> "></a></div> </div> </div> <div class="generic-item type-section" id=Review> <h2>Review</h2> <div style="margin-top: 15px;"> <p>Jump to: <a href="#Research">Research</a>, <a href="#Other">Other</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="generic-item article-item"> <input class="article-list-checkbox export-element" type="checkbox" name="articles_ids[]" value="263208" data-select-all-name="article-listing"> <div class="article-content"> <div class="label right label__btn"> <a data-dropdown="drop-supplementary-263208" aria-controls="drop-supplementary-263208" aria-expanded="false" title="Supplementary Material"> <i class="material-icons">attachment</i> </a> <div id="drop-supplementary-263208" class="f-dropdown label__btn__dropdown label__btn__dropdown--wide" data-dropdown-content aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"> Supplementary material: <br/> <a href="/2304-6767/7/3/90/s1?version=1568803457"> Supplementary File 1 (PDF, 232 KiB) </a><br/> </div> </div> <div class="label right label__btn"> <span style="font-size: 12px; color: #1a1a1a;"> 23 pages, 1173 KiB   </span> <a href="/2304-6767/7/3/90/pdf?version=1568803431" class="UD_Listings_ArticlePDF" title="Article PDF" data-name="Monolithic Zirconia: An Update to Current Knowledge.

New ultra-translucent and multicolor monolithic zirconia ceramics present considerably improved aesthetics and translucency, which, according to the literature reviewed, is similar to those of the more translucent lithium disilicate ceramics. A profound advantage is their high strength at thin geometries preserving their mechanical integrity. Based on the reviewed articles, monolithic zirconia ceramics cause minimal wear of antagonists, especially if appropriately polished, although no evidence still exists regarding the ultra-translucent compositions. Concerning the survival of monolithic zirconia restorations, the present review demonstrates the findings of the existing short-term studies, which reveal promising results after evaluating their performance for up to 5 or 7 years. Although a significant increase in translucency has been achieved, new translucent monolithic zirconia ceramics have to be further evaluated both in vitro and in vivo for their long-term potential to preserve their outstanding properties. Due to limited studies evaluating the wear properties of ultra-translucent material, no sound conclusions can be made, whereas well-designed clinical studies are urgently needed to enlighten issues of prognosis and long-term survival. <a href="/2304-6767/7/3/90">Full article</a> </div> </div> <div class="belongsTo" style="margin-bottom: 10px;"> (This article belongs to the Special Issue <a href=" /journal/dentistry/special_issues/Restorative_Materials ">Restorative Materials in the Digital Workflow: Innovative Trends to Join Esthetics and Biomechanics</a>)<br/> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2304-6767/7/3/90/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev263208"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next263208"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next263208" data-cycle-prev="#prev263208" data-cycle-progressive="#images263208" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-263208-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-07-00090/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-07-00090-g001-550.jpg?1569456134" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Figure 1</p></div><script id="images263208" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-263208-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-07-00090/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-07-00090-g002-550.jpg?1569456135'><p>Figure 2</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='2' data-target='article-263208-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-07-00090/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-07-00090-g003-550.jpg?1569456135'><p>Figure 3</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-263208-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline; line-height: 200%"><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-07-00090/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-07-00090-g001-550.jpg?1569456134" title=" <strong>Figure 1</strong><br/> <p>Correlation between absorption coefficient (<span class="html-italic">α</span>) and thickness (<span class="html-italic">z</span>) and their effect on light transmitted through a sample according to the Lambert Beer’s law.

Dentistry and dental materials have been fully involved in the technological and information technology evolution, so much so that they have revolutionized dental techniques. In this study, we want to create the first collection of articles on the use of digital techniques and software, such as Digital Smile Design. The aim is to collect all of the results regarding the use of this software, and to highlight the fields of use. Twenty-four articles have been included in the review, and the latter describes the use of Digital Smile Design and, in particular, the field of use. The study intends to be present which dental fields use “digitization”. Progress in this field is constant, and will be of increasing interest to dentistry by proposing a speed of treatment planning and a reliability of results. The digital workflow allows for rehabilitations that are reliable both from an aesthetic and functional point of view, as demonstrated in the review. From this study, the current field of use of Digital Smile Design techniques in the various branches of medicine and dentistry have emerged, as well as information about its reliability. <a href="/2304-6767/7/2/30">Full article</a> </div> </div> <div class="belongsTo" style="margin-bottom: 10px;"> (This article belongs to the Special Issue <a href=" /journal/dentistry/special_issues/Restorative_Materials ">Restorative Materials in the Digital Workflow: Innovative Trends to Join Esthetics and Biomechanics</a>)<br/> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2304-6767/7/2/30/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-217819-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-07-00030/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-07-00030-g001-550.jpg?1571290740" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Figure 1</p></div></div></div><div id="article-217819-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline; line-height: 200%"><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/dentistry/dentistry-07-00030/article_deploy/html/images/dentistry-07-00030-g001-550.jpg?1571290740" title=" <strong>Figure 1</strong><br/> <p>PRISMA flow diagram.</p> <strong style='display: block; margin-top: 10px; font-size: 18px;'><a style='color: #fff' href='/2304-6767/7/2/30'>Full article</a></strong> "></a></div> </div> </div> <div class="generic-item type-section" id=Other> <h2>Other</h2> <div style="margin-top: 15px;"> <p>Jump to: <a href="#Research">Research</a>, <a href="#Review">Review</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="generic-item article-item"> <input class="article-list-checkbox export-element" type="checkbox" name="articles_ids[]" value="194550" data-select-all-name="article-listing"> <div class="article-content"> <div class="label right label__btn"> <span style="font-size: 12px; color: #1a1a1a;"> 6 pages, 2186 KiB   </span> <a href="/2304-6767/7/1/4/pdf?version=1546483311" class="UD_Listings_ArticlePDF" title="Article PDF" data-name="Use of a Polyetheretherketone Clasp Retainer for Removable Partial Denture: A Case Report" data-journal="dentistry"> <i class="material-icons custom-download"></i> </a> </div> <div class="article-icons"><span class="label openaccess" data-dropdown="drop-article-label-openaccess" aria-expanded="false">Open Access</span><span class="label articletype">Case Report</span></div> <a class="title-link" href="/2304-6767/7/1/4">Use of a Polyetheretherketone Clasp Retainer for Removable Partial Denture: A Case Report</a> <div class="authors"> by <span class="inlineblock "><strong>Tetsuo Ichikawa</strong>, </span><span class="inlineblock "><strong>Kosuke Kurahashi</strong>, </span><span class="inlineblock "><strong>Lipei Liu</strong>, </span><span class="inlineblock "><strong>Takashi Matsuda</strong> and </span><span class="inlineblock "><strong>Yuichi Ishida</strong></span> </div> <div class="color-grey-dark"> <em>Dent.
