Reattachment of the original tooth fragment to the fractured tooth helps in maintaining the tooth's color, wear resistance, morphology and translucency in the restoration. This article describes the reattachment of fractured fragment using a fiber post and dual cure resin cement with a self-etching adhesive. Two young male patients reported with a complicated crown fracture of the right maxilla...

Background & Aims: Crown restoration of teeth after root canal treatment protects their remaining structure against breakage and infection of the root canal, and will replace the missing structure. This study was performed to identify the prevalence of different types of crown restorations after root canal treatment of posterior teeth in Kerman, Iran, in 2013. <stro...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the clinical outcomes achieved with Computer-Assisted Design/Computer-Assisted Manufacturing implant abutments in the anterior maxilla. MATERIAL AND METHODS Nineteen patients with a mean age of 41 (range form 26 to 63) years, treated with 21 single tooth implants and 21 Computer-Assisted Design/Computer-Assisted Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) abutments ...

OBJECTIVE When utilizing a single implant-supported crown to replace a central incisor, understanding the final shape of the implant restoration is an important factor to help achieve a successful esthetic outcome. In today's dentistry, tooth shape is a critical factor when dental implant prostheses are considered in the esthetic zone. The major esthetic goal for this type of restoration is to ...

Since abnormal tooth morphology can predispose to caries and periodontal disease, careful management of fused teeth is essential. In this paper we report a rare case of a fused molar and supernumerary tooth and describe its management. Caries was removed from the tooth complex under local anesthesia. The pulp chamber of the supernumerary tooth was exposed without involvement of second molar pul...

introduction: this in vitro study investigates the marginal and internal fit of indirect class ii composite restorations. two different processes for chair-side restorations were compared. in group a, the restorations were fabricated using cad/cam technology (cerec, sirona, germany, bernsheim) and in group b they were made by hand (grandioso inlay system, voco gmbh, germany, cuxhaven). methods:...

A fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) fixed prosthesis is an innovative alternative to a traditional metal restoration, as it is a conservative treatment method. This case report demonstrates a detailed procedure for restoring a missing anterior tooth with an FRC. A 44-year-old woman visited our department with an avulsed tooth that had fallen out on the previous day and was completely dry. This t...

F OR some time there has been considerable interest directed toward the evalution of dental restorations from the physical property standpoint. The dental profession has long recognized that the success of a restorative appliance is dependent not only on the satisfaction of biologic criteria but, in addition, on the capabilities of the restorative materials as well as the tooth structure to res...

The purpose of this article is to give the reader a better understanding of the complex restorative challenge in achieving true harmonization of the primary parameters in esthetics (i.e., color, shape, and texture) represented by the replacement of a single anterior tooth. The case presented demonstrates the restoration of a Class IV fracture taking esthetic consideration of the anatomic variat...

This paper aims to discuss the concept of canine guidance in light recent research with regard time extraction restored tooth, crowns representing worst performing restoration at 15 years (66% cumulative survival). Given that upper tooth may be considered 'cornerstone' arch, reasons for this poor performance are discussed by examination existing literature on and other aspects relating preparat...
