This report describes the bonding technique and clinical course of porcelain laminate veneer restorations applied to discolored maxillary incisors and canines. The patient was an 18-year-old woman, and tooth reduction was limited to the enamel. Laminate veneer restorations were made with a feldspathic porcelain material (Cosmotech Porcelain). After try-in, enamel surfaces were etched with 65% p...

Objective: This study was designed to compare the relative efficiency of GC, Tooth Mousse, which contains 10% ACP-CPP and GC Tooth Mousse Plus which contains amorphous calcium phosphate casein phosphopeptide (ACP-CPP) with sodium fluoride 0.2% w/w (900 ppm) to inhibit enamel demineralization adjacent to orthodontic brackets in vitro. Materials and methods: Forty-five non-carious, human maxillar...

Dental caries has been considered as a historically important component of the global oral disease burden. Thus, the quest for an ideal restorative material with optimum physical properties and durability exists. There was a lack of availability and development in the field of restorative materials. Though amalgam has many drawbacks, such as postoperative tooth sensitivity, susceptibility to fr...

The appropriate convergence angle (CA) for adequate retention and resistance of cast crowns has always been a matter of research and discussion. The purpose of this study was to measure the CA of tooth preparation for single crown (SC) or as abutments for fixed partial denture (FPD) carried out by final-year undergraduate dental students at the College of Dentistry, King Saud University and to ...

known that these teeth are generally weak because of dental structure loss, cavities, filling preparation, and root canal instrumentation. These teeth are thus rendered weak. Moreover, the decrease in the dentin moisture further lowers their strength properties, thus making them more susceptible to fractures. Therefore, it is necessary to take utmost care while selecting the most efficient way ...
