Aim: Gingival margins of posterior composite restorations is usually more apical compared to CEJ. The present study was aimed to determine the microleakage in gingival margins of Class II composite restorations through using three different types of resin cements as liners. Materials and Methods: In this in-vitro study, two mesial and distal Class II cavities with 1mm gingival margins were crea...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Severe tooth wear localized to the anterior maxillary or mandibular teeth with loss of interocclusal space is difficult to manage. PURPOSE This study evaluated the outcome of composite restorations placed at an increased vertical dimension of occlusion in such patients. METHODS AND MATERIAL Sixteen patients were restored with 104 restorations in 2 groups. In group A, Du...

Composite restoration materials have been in use for more than two decades as an aesthetic alternative to metal restorations in the posterior region, which bears a great deal of the masticatory load, with increasing frequency in recent years (Kelsey et al, 2000). The early clinical data on the posterior region, gathered in the early 1980s, was not encouraging, primarily due to insufficient mech...

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...

In this clinical study, we evaluated the 3-year clinical performance of a resin composite containing a surface-prereacted glass ionomer (S-PRG) filler (Beautifil II; Shofu Inc., Kyoto, Japan) placed with a single-step self-etch adhesive (BeautiBond; Shofu Inc.) in posterior restorations. Using modified US Public Health Service criteria, two experienced investigators performed clinical evaluatio...

The aim of the present study was to design and fabricate a maxillary posterior fixed partial denture (FPD) made of a type 4 gold alloy and an indirect composite. Unlike the conventional framework design of a resin veneered restoration, cut-back was extended approximately 1/4 to 1/3 width in the occlusal table of the buccal cusp. Multiple retentive beads 150-200 mum in diameter were placed on th...

This systematic review aims to summarize the current clinical studies that investigated survival rates against fracture of endodontically treated posterior teeth restored with crowns or resin composite restorations. Literature search were performed using keywords. Publications from 1980 to 2016 were searched in PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, MEDLINE, and SCOPUS. Included studies were se...

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 and with a reduct...

BACKGROUND Vertebral artery origin (VAO) stenosis is occasionally observed in patients who have acute ischemic stroke. We investigated the long-term outcomes and clinical significance of VAO stenosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke. METHODS We performed a prospective observational study using a single stroke center registry to investigate the risk of recurrent stroke and vascular outco...

PURPOSE To investigate dynamic postural stability performance of young adolescent athletes. METHODS Eighty-nine male and 81 female athletes participated. Each participant performed 3 trials of the anterior, posterior-medial, and posterior-lateral reach directions of the Star Excursion Balance Test on each limb. Distance achieved for each direction was expressed as a percentage of leg length, ...
