چکیده
OBJECTIVE To test and describe the use of various combinations of mechanical and chemical techniques for enamel reduction to obtain a smooth surface. METHODS Bovine teeth (2 surfaces on each of 32 teeth) were used. The teeth were mounted in blocks of dental plaster, which were then mounted in a vise. The mesiodistal enamel contact areas were reduced by various combinations of mechanical and chemical aids. The mesiodistal width of each tooth was measured with a digital caliper after initial reduction of the enamel surface and again after polishing. The teeth were subsequently prepared and mounted for scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS All combinations yielded statistically significant enamel reduction (p < 0.05). The use of acid stripping in conjunction with mechanical procedures produced especially smooth enamel surfaces. CONCLUSIONS Steps must be taken to ensure that a smooth enamel surface remains after enamel reduction and polishing. It is recommended that conventional enamel etchants be added to the polishing procedure. Enamel reduction can increase available space, but the quantity of enamel that can be removed without adverse consequences should be carefully evaluated.

Enamel reduction procedures in orthodontic treatment.
Various combinations of enamel reduction procedures can be used to create space between teeth, to correct discrepancies between mandibular and maxillary teeth and to correct morphologic anomalies during orthodontic treatment. In particular, acid-enhanced interproximal enamel reduction significantly reduces surface roughness. This article presents a review of the literature on enamel reduction p...

Background and Objective: Although bleaching is an effective way in creating a beautiful smile, there is a controversy about the effectiveness of bleaching agents on composite restored teeth. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of carbamide peroxide (CP) at different concentrations on shear strength (SS) of a bonded nanocomposite to enamel and dentin. Material and Methods: In ...

Success Evaluation of Pulpotomy in Primary Molars with Enamel Matrix Derivative: a Pilot Study
Aim: To investigate the effect of Emdogain gel (EMD) in pulpotomized primary molars and its clinical and radiographic outcomes. Methods and Materials: In this study, 18 lower second primary molars of nine children were treated by pulpotomy. The teeth were randomly assigned to the EMD (experimental) and Formocresol (control) groups in each patient (split mouth). Following removal of the coro...
