background and aims. salivary glands are very susceptible to radiation and any disturbances in their function are detrimental to the hard tissues in the oral cavity. the aim of this study was to evaluate posterior class v dental caries in patients with head and neck cancers undergoing radiotherapy. materials and methods. in this study, twenty seven patients undergoing conventional radiotherapy ...

Dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI) is a hereditary dentin defect caused by an autosomal dominant mutation in dentin sialophosphoprotein gene. Defective dentin development results in discolored teeth that are prone to wear and fracture. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are necessary to achieve better functional and esthetic results and minimize nutritional deficiencies and psychosocial distress....

Unlike anterior teeth, acute exogenous trauma is an infrequent cause of posterior coronal vertical tooth fractures. Endodontic and restorative management of such fractures is a great challenge for the clinician. Newer advancements in adhesive techniques can provide successful intracoronal splinting of such teeth to reinforce the remaining tooth structure. This paper describes the diagnosis and ...

Background: Fluoridated water adds a preventive benefit against caries, even in epidemiological scenarios with low prevalence of the disease. It is not known whether such contexts this public health technology has an impact on facial aesthetics, as effect fluoridated anterior, aesthetically relevant, and posterior teeth groups different. In article possible evaluated. Methods: Two ssimultaneous...

The reconstruction of structurally compromised posterior teeth is a rather challenging procedure. The tendency of endodontically treated teeth (ETT) to fracture is considerably higher than vital teeth. Although posts and core build-ups followed by conventional crowns have been generally employed for the purpose of reconstruction, this procedure entails sacrificing a considerable amount of resid...

Abstract Background The dentition of modern humans has evolved from their hominid ancestors to current form. Factors regarding the changes lifestyle such as dietary habits and usage tools have affected evolution human dentition. This article aimed discuss effect on teeth. An online literature search in PubMed database was conducted according inclusion criteria this study. Main body culture tran...

Because the recommendation to use flowables for posterior restorations is still a matter of debate, the objective of this study was to determine in a nationwide survey in Germany how frequently, for what indications, and for what reasons, German dentists use flowable composites in posterior teeth. In addition, the acceptance of a simplified filling technique for posterior restorations using a l...

Dentists play an essential part in complex forensic scenarios, such as the identification of putrefied and charred bodies as well as skeletal remains, in which fingerprint analysis becomes unfeasible [1]. Specifically in charred bodies, the anterior teeth are often found fragile or destroyed after exposed to a high temperature. However, the posterior teeth are mostly preserved by the adjacent s...

This clinical report describes the oral rehabilitation of a young adult patient diagnosed with hypomature amelogenesis imperfecta. The specific objectives of this treatment were to eliminate tooth sensitivity while enhancing esthetics and restoring masticatory function. Porcelain fused to metal full veneer crowns were placed on anterior and posterior teeth to modify the occlusion and to improve...
