Restoration of lost interdental papilla remains one of the most challenging goals for clinicians. When a single tooth is replaced with an implant, the papilla between the tooth and the implant can often be maintained or predictably reconstructed as long as the periodontal attachment and bone of the adjacent tooth is preserved. However, if the periodontal support is compromised on the neighborin...

DOI: https://doi.org/10.26485/AAL/2022/68/9 The Greek colonization of the Black Sea resulted in creation many new settlement points placed on entire coastline sea basin. One aspects to be recognized, both when studying begin­nings and relation later development Pontic poleis, are palaeoenvironmental conditions. It is beyond discussion that certain natural environment, such as topography coastal...

Introduction: This study was designed to observe the success of three quarter crown over conventional full veneer crown in the posterior teeth (premolars and molars) where there has been considerable destruction of tooth structure but with the buccal surface remaining intact. Method: A total number of 30 patients were studied. Among which 15 patients were treated with three quarter crown and re...

 Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSCs) can be found within the cell rich zone of dental pulp. These stem cells, under specific stimuli, differentiate into many cell types which have wide therapeutic applications.   The dental stem cells are derived from both deciduous and permanent teeth. The viable dental stem cells are very simple to collect, without any mortality and morbidity. Dental pulp stem c...

PURPOSE This article describes a case of the successful non-surgical management of a periodontally compromised maxillary premolar. METHODS A combination therapy, including root planing, occlusal adjustment, and tooth splinting, was applied. Clinical and radiographic examinations were performed during the 16-month follow-up period. RESULTS All periodontal parameters were improved. There were...

Computer-aided tooth shade determination of the natural tooth is an emerging application area which is still in development. Selecting the correct porcelain type is the key to repair teeth successfully. But the color and shade determined by human observers could not achieve a satisfied result because of the effect of the surrounding light and the limit of human eyes. And the computer-aided toot...

Discolouration of teeth, especially the anteriores, can result in considerably cosmetic impairment in person. Combine effects of intrinsic and extrinsic colour determines the appearance of teeth. Whitening of teeth with bleaching is a more conservative therapeutic method than full crowns, veneers or composite restorations which is more invasive and expensive. Among bleaching techniques, in offi...

OBJECTIVE When successive restorative procedures (e.g., porcelain veneers, interdental resin composite restorations, and endodontic treatment) are carried out on the same tooth, significant effects on crown flexure can be expected. METHOD AND MATERIALS Dentin-bonded porcelain veneers (experimental group) were assessed in vitro using functional and cyclic thermal loads. They were compared to n...
