Both with the advantages of fixed and removable dentures,the attachment prostheses is an important component of prosthodontics.At present,the resin base for the removable part of attachment denture was majorly made with traditional methods such as cartoning,resin-filling,heat treatment.But the produced fixed part of attachment denture was easy to be deformed or broken off during such processes.Here a method were introduced to produce resin base with injection moulding,which could avoid the occurrence of the mistakes of traditional methods and simplify the process.

Treatment of edentulous jaws with fixed implant supported denture is a complex procedure with high technical difficulty.In the present paper,the characteristics of screw retained implant denture and key points of manufacture are introduced in details.

Full ceramic prosthesis is becoming the main prosthetic development direction. As an important kind of full ceramic prosthesis, full ceramic veneer has not only natural cosmetic appearance and perfect biocompatibility, but also can preserve tooth structure as much as possible, which would be more easily accepted by patients for cosmetic prosthesis. Many methods, such as slip casting, die casting and CAD/CAM technology are available to make full ceramic veneer. All the methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. Slip casting is easy to be developed widely with low cost, so be used in practical work. In this article, the working process of full ceramic veneer, especially manufacture of removable dies, duplication of refractory models, were introduced, which was supposed to be beneficial for the technicians.

Objective:To prepare a novel dental lithium disilicate glass-ceramic,and to study its properties.Methods:A2 colored novel glass-ceramic was prepared by sintering technique.The flexural strength,density,elastic modulus,hardness,fracture toughness, translucency and microstructure of the novel glass-ceramic and IPS e.max Press (LT A2,MO1 and HO1 )ceramic ingots were studied. Results:The novel glass-ceramic demonstrated a lower flexural strength (31 5 MPa)than MO ceramic ingot(338 MPa)(P <0.05). The other mechanical properties of the novel glass-ceramic were similar to those of LT and MO ceramic ingots(P >0.05).The translu-cency parameter of the novel glass-ceramic(21 .2)was higher than that of HO(1 6.5)but lower than that of LT(27.8)and MO(27.5) ceramic ingots(P <0.05).SEMimages showed an interlocking microstructure of rod-shaped Li2 Si2 O5 crystals in all the glass-ceramics investigated.Conclusion:The mechanical properties,translucency and microstructure of the novel glass-ceramic are similar to those of IPS e.max Press ceramic ingots,which can meet the requirements of clinical application.
