Aesthetic restoration of peg lateral incisors with direct composite resin

Peg Lateral Incisor Can Present Aesthetic Challenge Peg Lateral Incisors: Treatment and Positioning

Malformed or congenitally missing teeth are a problem often faced by both orthodontists and restorative dentists. Between 1% and 2% of the population will exhibit a shape modification of the maxillary lateral incisor commonly referred to as a peg lateral. The inheritance of the peg-shaped lateral incisors has been associated with the genotype that causes missing lateral incisors, and the shape ...

Simplifying direct composite resin restorations in the aesthetic zone.

Direct composite resin restoration of an anterior tooth: effect of fiber-reinforced composite substructure.

The aim of the study was to determine the static load-bearing capacity of fractured incisal teeth restored with the conventional adhesive-composite technique or by using fiber reinforced composites (FRC). Upper incisal teeth were prepared by cutting the incisal part of the crown horizontally. Restorations were made by three techniques. Group A (control group) was restored by reattaching the ori...

Interdisciplinary Approach in the Treatment of Peg Lateral Incisors

Aberrations in tooth morphology resulting from late disturbances during the differentiation process most commonly result in size variations. Peg-shaped or mesio-distally deficient maxillary lateral incisors demonstrate variation in the expression of the trait, although the genes causing this are not known. Individuals with malformed lateral incisors often display a diastema in the midline regio...

Fracture Strength of Severely Damaged Primary Anterior Teeth after Restoration with Composite Resin and Resin-Modified Glass Ionomer Cement

Background and Aim: Restoration of primary anterior teeth with severe caries extending to the gingival margin is challenging for many clinicians especially in uncooperative children. Resin modified glass ionomer cements (RMGICs) can be suitable for use in such cases since they require fewer application steps than composite resins. This study aimed to assess the fracture strength of severely dam...
