The development and reliability of adhesive resin composite systems have offered clinicians a further option for the management of tooth-surface loss. Patients with minimum, moderate, and severe hard tissue wear can be treated based on the application of minimally invasive adhesive composite restorations for posterior and anterior worn dentition. This article presents the "index technique", a n...

UNLABELLED Prosthetic-restorative approach for the restoration of tooth wear. Case report OBJECTIVE This article presents a case report of combined prosthetic-adhesive rehabilitation in a patient with a generalized tooth wear. METHODS A combined treatment adhesive - prosthetic was proposed to a male patient of 65 years old having a clinically significant tooth wear, with dentine exposure an...

objectives: several studies have assessed the characteristics and properties of silorane-based composites and adhesive systems. considering the extensive application of tooth-whitening agents, possible deteriorative effects of tooth bleaching agents on these restorative materials must be studied. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of an in-office carbamide peroxide-based tooth ble...

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...

statement of problem: the restoration of the teeth should have enough ability to withstand masticator forces while preserving as much tooth structure as possible. purpose: the purpose of this study was to compare the effects of light-heat cured composite with light cured composite restorations on fracture resistance of the restored teeth. materials and methods: forty healthy maxillary premolar ...

introduction: the purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate coronal microlenkage in anterior weakend teeth after root canal therapy, reinforced with different tooth-coloured material and frc post. methods and materials: a total 48 extracted intact central incisor were randomly divided into four experimental groups (n=12). all specimens were endodontically treated using lateral condensat...

this report describes a case of an eight years old girl who was treated for complicated crown fracture of right maxillary central incisor because of a sport accident. for the tooth total pulpotomy was performed in order to achieve apexogenesis and the tooth was restored with a composite resin. the patient was reviewed over 10 years. at first the tooth showed continued root development and compl...

A pontic is an artificial tooth that substitutes a lost natural tooth, preserves its function, and typically fills the space left by actual crown. Sanitary/hygienic modified sanitary/hygienic designs do not contact alveolar mucosa. On other hand, ridge lap, ovate, conical are maintain with The ideal biological properties to be taken into consideration while designing pontics periodontal health,...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the adaptation of different types of restorations towards deciduous and young permanent teeth. MATERIAL AND METHODS Class V cavities were prepared in deciduous and young permanent teeth and filled with different materials (a conventional glass-ionomer, a resin-modified glass-ionomer, a poly-acid-modified composite resin and a conventional com...
