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...

AIM The purpose of this case report is to describe the clinical procedure for fabricating fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) onlay composite resin restorations using a FRC as the substructure. BACKGROUND A variety of therapeutic modalities are available to restore teeth with moderate coronal defects in the posterior region of the mouth. For patients who refuse complete crown restorations or whe...

Successful final restoration is important for the long term success of root canal treatment. A lack of adhesion in a final restoration could result in apical or coronal leakage that causes problems in the root canal treatment. Endodontically-treated teeth frequently require extensive restorations with post-core system. ABSTRACT The Influence of AH-26 and Zinc Oxide-Eugenol Root Canal Sealer on ...

Restoration of primary incisors, which have been severely damaged by rampant caries or trauma, is a difficult task for the pediatric dentist. With the introduction of new adhesive systems and restorative materials, alternative approaches for treating these teeth have been proposed. This paper discusses the restoration of carious primary maxillary incisors using composite resin restoration reinf...

This case report looks at a case of traumatic avulsion and subsequent apexification of a maxillary permanent incisor of a 6-year-old boy and a 10-year follow-up is reported. Treatment included apexification of the tooth with incomplete root formation using mineral trioxide aggregate and restoration of the immature root with a zirconia post and a coronal composite restoration. At the 10-year fol...

Introduction: Fractures of the anterior teeth consists of a clinical condition that generates not only aesthetic and psychological problems, but may also cause dental pain. Thus, the affected teeth should be treated as urgencies in dental offices and their resolution whenever possible should be in a single session. Direct resin composite restorations should wherever possible be preferred due to...

BACKGROUND The use of resin-modified glass Ionomer cement in sandwich technique is widely practiced with the advent of various newer generation of composites the bond between resin-modified glass Ionomer and these resins should be validated. This study is done to evaluate the interfacial microgaps between different types of liners and dentin, liners and composite (Filtek p60 [FLp60]) using scan...

This study aims to compare the in vivo effect of a desensitizing therapy associated with a restorative technique for the treatment of cervical dentin hypersensitivity (CDH) in non-carious lesions. The sample consisted of 68 teeth with moderate or severe dentin hypersensitivity in 17 individuals (one tooth per quadrant). The sensitivity levels of the teeth were scored, and the teeth were randoml...

The development of dentin bonding agents has made the adhesion between composite restorative resins and dentin possible. Laboratory studies involving microleakage and bond strength tests are carried out to predict the longevity of composite resin restorations in the clinical situation. Microleakage at the restoration/tooth interface may result in breakdown at the margins of restorations, the de...

Here, we present a case report on prosthetic reconstruction of posterior teeth and composite resin restoration of anterior teeth yielding considerable esthetic improvement, reestablishment of disocclusion guides and function.
