PURPOSE The failure rates of restorative procedures for children undergoing dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia, performed by pediatric dental residents in advanced educational programs, were evaluated in order to determine treatment outcomes and best practices. METHODS Retrospective review of 504 dental records of children receiving comprehensive dental treatment under general ane...

background and aims. one of the major problems of all-ceramic restorations is their probable fracture under occlusal force. the aim of the present in vitro study was to compare the effect of two marginal designs (chamfer and deep chamfer) on the fracture resistance of all-ceramic restorations, cercon. materials and methods. this in vitro study was carried out with single-blind experimental tech...

The degree of success in the elimination of bacteria during cavity preparation and prior to the insertion of a restoration may increase the longevity of the restoration and therefore the success of the restorative procedure. The complete eradication of bacteria in a caries-affected tooth, during cavity preparation, is considered a difficult clinical task. In addition to weakening the tooth stru...

Amalgam was banned as a dental restorative material in Norway in 2008 due to environmental considerations. An electronic questionnaire was sent to all dentists in the member register of the Norwegian Dental Association (NTF) one year later, to evaluate dentists' satisfaction with alternative restorative materials and to explore dentists' treatment choices of fractured amalgam restorations. Repl...

In restorative treatment using fixed dental prostheses, dentists should select appropriate restoration material among various types of dental materials. The strength, marginal fit, esthetics, wear resistance, biocompatibility, and cost are important factors in the choice of restoration materials. The present case showed a surface stain on a monolithic zirconia restoration that was due to wear b...

Introduction: Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) are the latest achievements of Prosthodontics and Restorative Dentistry. The aim of this research is to help make appropriate decision whether to use this technology in Iran. Methods: Studies were included in this review that compared Dental CAD/CAM with conventional restorativ...

Each year endosseous dental implants gain greater acceptance among clinicians and patients. This has come about for several reasons, including excellent success rates published in long-term studies, improvements in fixture and abutment designs, more predictable surgical placement techniques, and increased consumer desire to have tooth replacement. Regardless of the implant system, the placement...

Abstract Alteration in conventional techniques anterior maxilla is essential for making a restoration look more natural and harmonious with the rest of mouth, as this area prone to aesthetic failure. The visibility crowns obviously more, it necessary blend dentition. This makes person’s smile pleasant aesthetic. Proper risk assessment must be considered while placing implants maxillary region a...

BACKGROUND Knowing which factors influence restoration longevity can help clinicians make sound treatment decisions. The authors analyzed data from The National Dental Practice-Based Research Network to identify predictors of early failures of amalgam and resin-based composite (RBC) restorations. METHODS In this prospective cohort study, the authors gathered information from clinicians and of...

An implant-supported restoration offers a predictable treatment for tooth replacement. Reported success rates for dental implants are high. Nevertheless, failures that mandate immediate implant removal do occur. The consequences of implant removal jeopardize the clinician's efforts to accomplish satisfactory function and esthetics. For the patient, this usually involves further cost and additio...
