Tooth strengthening for autologous tooth crown transplants using an industrial resin impregnation method
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this study was to investigate if it was possible to strengthen a tooth for autologous tooth crown transplant by using the resin impregnation method already used for industrial purposes. Eightyfour upper first premolar tooth crowns were divided into three groups (n=28 each) to be kept either wet, dry for one day, or dry for one week. In addition, within each group, the teeth were allocated to resin impregnation (RE, n=14) or no resin impregnation (NRE, n=14). A compression test was carried out on all teeth in the three groups, broken the specimens were flat-polished in cross-section with #400,1000 gritstone and observed using Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM). The area of bonding resin was measured using ImageJ software. The mean maximum compressive strength in the RE group was significantly higher than that in the NRE group in the all tooth condition. In CLSM observation, the deepest penetration of bonding resin into the tubules was observed in crowns that had been dried for one week. Based on the findings of this study, we conclude that impregnation with bonding resin can strengthen teeth.

New esthetic dental material: “autologous tooth crown transplantation”. A clinical report
This article reports on the use of a natural tooth crown to repair substantial defects caused by caries. A 50 y old woman wished to have a mandibular left-side third molar extracted. Concurrently, the patient voiced concerns about the metal collar of a premolar. It was decided to extract the third molar and to use this tooth to perform an autologous tooth crown transplant at the upper second pr...

The purpose of this case report is to describe a step-by-step method of restoring function (and esthetics) to infraoccluded second primary molars using a crown-form crown, in a case of bilateral congenital missing premolars. This technique restores form and function, with a minimal reduction to the tooth. It also conserves tooth material and permits good bonding of the resin-based composite to ...

The “reverse” stainless steel crown is a well-known method of correcting single tooth anterior crossbite (Fig 1). When an elongated preformed incisor stainless steel crown is luted with the lingual surface facing labially, the resulting slope contacts the opposing mandibular incisors and normal occlusal forces move the incisors out of crossbite relationship. The reverse crown method corrects “d...

OBJECTIVE When successive restorative procedures (e.g., porcelain veneers, interdental resin composite restorations, and endodontic treatment) are carried out on the same tooth, significant effects on crown flexure can be expected. METHOD AND MATERIALS Dentin-bonded porcelain veneers (experimental group) were assessed in vitro using functional and cyclic thermal loads. They were compared to n...

BACKGROUND Complete cast crowns are good alternatives and have best longevity for the restoration of damaged posterior teeth. Occasionally, a crown with clinically acceptable margins, preparation design, and occlusion becomes loose. Providers often debate whether such a crown can be successfully recemented with any degree of confidence that it will not be dislodged under normal masticatory func...
