Anterior crossbite is the term used to describe an abnormal labiolingual relationship between one or more maxillary and mandibular incisor teeth. Different techniques have been used to correct anterior crossbite. This paper describes the use of bonded resin-composite slopes for the management of anterior crossbite in children in early mixed dentition.In each of the cases presented here, dental ...

The study verified the bond strength in simulated dental restorations of silorane- or methacrylate-based composites repaired with methacrylate-based composite. Methacrylate- (P60) or silorane-based (P90) composites were used associated with adhesive (Adper Single Bond 2). Twenty-four hemi-hourglass-shaped samples were repaired with each composite (n=12). Samples were divided according to groups...

Ceramic full crowns can restore lost tooth structure, strength, and esthetics but remove about twice as much tooth as an onlay design. Onlay restorations can maintain facial enamel for long-term esthetics, preserve the dentogingival junction for optimum periodontal health, and use supragingival margins for predictable adhesive dentistry. Metallic onlays can create fracture strength 3 times that...

PURPOSE Aerosol deposition is a technology for coating ceramics with impact consolidation at room temperature. The aim of the present study was to investigate the thickness and the microstructure of the aluminium oxide layer on different three dental resin composite materials created by means of aerosol deposition. METHODS Disk-shaped specimens were fabricated with three resin composites (Est...

PURPOSE The Authors analyzed the effect of spherical glass mega fillers (SGMF) on reducing contraction stress in dental composite resins, by means of a cavity model simulating the cuspal deflection which occurs on filled tooth cavity walls in clinical condition. MATERIALS AND METHODS 20 stylized MOD cavities (C-factor = 0.83) were performed in acrylic resin. The inner surface of each cavity w...

introduction: in restorative dentistry, selecting the proper material is an important factor for clinical success. the objective of this study was clinical evaluation of survival time of three tooth color materials in primary anterior teeth. methods: in this interventional clinical trial study, 94 deciduous anterior teeth (36 teeth in boys, 58 teeth in girls) belonging to 3-5 year old children ...

The Embryonic Stem Cell Test (EST) developed in Germany in 1997 is known as a screening test method capable of predicting the presence of unknown chemicals influencing normal human development. Firstly, we investigated the embryotoxicity of 24 types of monomer including dental monomers and dental alloy-component metal elements using this test. Monomers including Bis-GMA contained in base resin ...
