Seminar of Periodontology is the leading event for the exchange of research and opinions of Periodontics in Slovenia for better prevention and appropriate treatment of inflammatory periodontal disease. In the seminar the studies made on experimental animals have been presented. The impact of periodontal disease on systemic health has been highlighted and the impact of periodontal therapy on systemic markers of inflammation has been presented.

COBISS.SI-ID: 3810938Conventional and contemporary diagnostics of functional irregularities of the orofacial area, including breathing, swallowing, chewing and speech are presented in this book. Their role in the etiology of malocclusion as well as different treatment approaches with functional regulators are described. Four different types of functional regulators are illustrated, toghether with their mode of function, clinical and laboratory procedures of their construction and their appliaction in treatment of different malloculsion.

COBISS.SI-ID: 272679680The role of surface preparation, hydrothermal ageing exposure and subsequent cyclic fatigue testing on the biaxial strength of a dental Y-TZP material are investigated. The initial strength and survival rate of a dental Y-TZP ceramic material to fatigue testing was found to be highly dependent upon surface preparation more so than exposure to various hydrothermal exposure conditions. The results suggest that the monoclinic phase generated by either surface damage (especially sandblasting) and to a lesser extent hydrothermal exposure does appear to mitigate strength and fatigue degradation. The results are discussed in terms of the size of defects generated following various surface treatments and the role of cyclic fatigue induced crack growth. A critical ratio is established between the monotonic strength and fatigue stress survival. From the specimens that failed and exhibited reduced strength after cycling a plot of averaged crack growth rate versus max cyclic stress intensity factor was established which closely matched existing results for Y-TZP ceramics.
