A procedure is described for fabricating an immediate complete overdenture where several teeth retain an interim fixed partial denture (FPD) until the complete denture is finished. Nonessential posterior teeth were first extracted. An interim fixed restoration was fitted to five strategic teeth, and the four maxillary incisors were reduced to the gingival margin. The reduced teeth and the maxil...

OBJECTIVES Extracted teeth used in dental research need to be considered infective and hence be sterilized without the materials' properties being altered. This study examined the effect of gamma radiation on the nano-mechanical properties of dentin and enamel of extracted human third molars. METHODS Whole teeth were sterilized using gamma radiation doses of 7 kGy and 35 kGy, respectively; te...

Natal teeth are an infrequent occurrence at birth. Often these teeth are extracted because they are very mobile and pose a risk of aspiration. This is a rare case in which a natal tooth was extracted by the pediatrician with his fingers. A root fragment remained and out of this developed a large pulp polyp. This relationship has not been previously reported.

The present report describes a case of Noonan's syndrome from a dental viewpoint. Noonan syndrome is an autosomal dominant multisystem disorder. Congenital heart deformities, short stature, thoracic deformities, short neck with webbing, hypertelorism, and malocclusions are some of the frequently observed clinical features. Atypical dental anomalies such as multiple unerupted permanent teeth, mu...

this case report refers to the esthetic and functional restorations of extensively damaged maxillary central incisors with dental caries in a 32-year-old woman, with the use of posts and crowns made from natural extracted teeth. proper restoration of such teeth with the use of natural teeth fragments are known as “biological restoration.” biological restorations can be done by using the fragmen...

Analysis of adjacent tooth resistance is essential in wisdom teeth extraction to prevent adjacent tooth trauma, however it lacks adequate attention nowadays. This study aims at suggesting special extraction methods based on adjacent tooth resistance analysis for prevention of adjacent tooth damage. In this study, 136 complicated mandibular third molars extracted using piezosurgery were reviewed...
