JM Dawes | Dental cervical lesions associated with occlusal erosion and attrition
Acid demineralization of teeth causes occlusal erosion and attrition, and shallow and wedge-shaped cervical lesions putatively involving abfraction. From 250 patients with tooth wear, 122 with cervical lesions were identified. From epoxy resin replicas of their dentitions, associations of occlusal attrition or erosion or no wear with cervical lesions were recorded at 24 tooth sites (total 2928 sites).

SCIENTIFIC ARTICLECLINICAL REPORTSCustom-made titanium mandibular reconstruction tray
Reconstruction of the mandible after ablative surgery can be achieved by using preformed trays or trays formed from models produced by computer-assisted modelling systems. The former presents difficulty in matching the required facial contour, jaw relationship and condylar position; while the latter is expensive. This paper presents a simple and inexpensive method of fabricating a custom-made titanium bone grafting tray.

RKF Clark | Integrating the surgical and prosthodontic stages of implant therapy with a sterile implant position registration
A new implant position registration technique utilizing an autoclavable thermoplastic material is described. This technique, which has been in use since 1994, allows the clinician to fabricate a provisional restoration for insertion at stage II surgery to enhance the soft tissue contour and the aesthetics of the final restoration.
