Nina Mörikofer, Med Dent/Goran I. Benic, PD Dr Dent/Ji-Man Park, DDS, MSD, PhD/Mutlu Özcan, Prof Dent, PhD/Jürg Hüsler, Em Phil Nat/Alexis Ioannidis, Dent: Purpose: To test whether internal accuracy affects the load-bearing capacity of 0.5-mm–thick occlusal veneers made out milled or heat-pressed lithium disilicate (LS2). Materials and Methods: Extracted human molars (N = 80) were divided in...

This clinical report describes the oral rehabilitation of a very young child diagnosed with hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta. The specific treatment objectives being adequate patient management, eliminate tooth sensitivity while enhancing esthetics, masticatory function and improved self confidence. The treatment included full mouth rehabilitation with stainless steel crowns on posterior tee...

OBJECTIVES This randomized, split-mouth clinical study evaluated the survival rate of direct laminate veneers made of two resin-composite materials. METHODS A total of 23 patients (mean age: 52.4 years old) received 96 direct composite laminate veneers using two micro-hybrid composites in combination with two adhesive resins (Ena-Bond-Enamel HFO: n=48, Clearfil SE Bond-Miris2: n=48). Enamel w...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Selecting material for a minimally invasive occlusal veneer reconstruction concept requires an understanding of how stresses are distributed during functional and parafunctional forces. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate stress distribution in a maxillary molar restored with ultrathin occlusal veneers and subjected by an antagonistic mandibular ...

Introduction: Currently, there is little clinical evidence to support the medium- and long-term survival performance of ultraconservative approaches using adhesive restorations in full-mouth restorations. The aim this case series study was evaluate medium-term anterior posterior applied with direct indirect techniques resin composites glass-ceramic-based materials. Materials Methods: inclusion ...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Laminate veneer restorations exhibit excellent ability to reproduce the natural teeth regarding esthetic and biomechanics. The aim of the present study was to determine the impact of laminate veneers on oral health-related quality of life (OHQoL).METHODS: In this case series study, the impact of treatment on OHQol was measured using the standard questionnaire OHIP-14. This ...
