Amelogenesis imperfecta is a term for a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of conditions that affect the dental enamel. This paper reports a case of Amelogenesis Imperfect managed by composite veneers.

The paper presents some researches concerning the mechanical properties of composite materials used for prosthetic dental elements. After a short introduction concerning the general strains and loads that usually apply upon prosthetic works, the authors present the virtual model of a molar tooth subjected to the most common actions, using finite element method. Then the results are further show...

30 INTERNATIONAL DENTISTRY – AUSTRALASIAN EDITION VOL. 7, NO. 2 Nanotechnology, on the other hand, has made successful inroads into modern composite technology and continues to be the subject of considerable research work1,12,13. Nanosized inorganic fillers enable the filler content of composite pastes to be maximised while retaining excellent clinical handling properties and at the same time m...
