Hand deformities affects function and esthetics. Moreover, for the majority of patients, the loss of a finger can lead to psychological problems. This report describes the fabrication of a silicone finger prosthesis for a patient after an accident. The finger prosthesis was retained by a vacuum effect on the stump. The room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicone material was used to provide fun...

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...

This clinical report describes the prosthodontic treatment for an 18-year-old man diagnosed with amelogenesis imperfecta. The aim of treatment was to reduce dental sensitivity and to restore esthetics and masticatory function. Metal-ceramic fixed partial dentures were placed on posterior teeth to modify the occlusion, and porcelain laminate veneers were placed to improve the esthetics of the ma...

In the anterior, several factors must be considered when doing direct restorative procedures, including technique, material choice, esthetics, and patient expectations. As it is becoming increasingly common for patients to prefer minimally invasive procedures with high esthetics, particular attention must be given to the technique and materials used to ensure that the patient receives a comfort...

Screw-retained implant restorations have an advantage of predictable retention as well as retrievability, and obviate the risk of excessive sub-gingival cement commonly associated with cement retained implant restorations. Screw-retained restorations generally have screw access holes, which can compromise esthetics and weaken the porcelain around the holes. The purpose of this study is to descr...

Dental erosion is the chemical dissolution of the tooth structure. Factors like eating disorders and gastrointestinal diseases are recognized as intrinsic factors for dental erosion. Advanced stages of dental erosion extensively damage the tooth morphology, consequently affecting both esthetics and functions. Reports indicate the growing prevalence of erosion, and hence knowledge of restorative...

One of the most important consideration for patients in dental treatment is esthetics. It presents a great challenge when teeth (particularly anterior teeth) have to be immediately replaced following removal structure. Immediate denture answer restore esthetics and functional (mastication, speech deglutition) purpose. A 48-year-old male patient came Department Prosthodontic Clinic, Universitas ...
