Soft tissue volume and quality are considered important factors for functional esthetic long-term outcomes around natural teeth dental implants. However, achieving them is challenging oral surgeons. Healing of an extraction site combined with normal physiological ridge resorption loss interdental papillae scaffold. Therefore, the rehabilitation these ridges implants or pontic fixed prosthesis u...

In children or adolescents with anterior tooth loss, space closure with the patient's own teeth should be considered as the first choice to avoid lifelong restorative needs. Thorough diagnostics and treatment planning are required when autotransplantation or orthodontic space closure is considered. If these options are not indicated and a single tooth implant restoration is considered, implant ...

This article will discuss and evaluate the potential conditions that can present in patients who require or already have had multiple anterior tooth extractions; the proper considerations for the use of ovate pontics in the treatment plan also will be discussed. While the ultimate treatment decisions must be determined on a case-by-case basis, it is important to recognize in advance the various...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the shear bond strength of the gingiva-colored composite resin and the tooth-colored composite resin to porcelain, metal and zirconia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty cylindrical specimens were fabricated and divided into the following 6 groups (Group 1-W: tooth-colored composite bonded to porcelain, Group 1-P: gingiva-colored composite...

The loss of anterior tooth can be hurtful to the patient both psychologically and socially. In adolescent patients, temporary replacement of teeth can minimize these concerns. Many approaches have been described for this temporary replacement. Adhesively luted, fiber-reinforced retained fixed partial denture (FPD) can be a clinical alternative for the replacement of missing anterior tooth in se...

ackground and aim: It is important to evaluate the effect of the type of filling material on deformation and strength of tooth after filling and also the effect of filling depth on quality of restoration of a decayed tooth. Material and Methods: The Orthopantomogram (OPG) of the first and second molars of a 28-year-old man was made and the teeth were 3D modeled. The stress-deformation analysis ...
