Esthetic treatment of a single darkened tooth represents a great challenge to the dental practitioner. The properties of dental ceramic-colour stability, mechanical strength, clinical longevity, esthetic appearance and compatibility with periodontal tissues-make this material a good choice for such treatment. We present a case of restoration of a single, highly darkened anterior tooth with a fe...

In literature, the primary function of a dental cement is to fill the space between restorative material (definitive or provisional) and tooth preparation (or implant abutment), as well as to enhance the resistance to restoration dislodgement during function [1,2]. Of utmost importance, the long-term success of a restoration is heavily dependent on the proper selection and manipulation of denta...

Dental caries (tooth decay) is one of the most common diseases, with approximately 80% of the population in developed countries having experienced the condition. If decay has not been prevented cavities develop. To prevent considerable pain and tooth loss it may be necessary to remove the diseased tissues and restore the cavities (a filling). Restorations have a limited lifespan and, once a too...

Loss of a single tooth may cause functional and esthetic deficits. There are two treatment options that exist for replacing missing incisors. They include a tooth-supported restoration, or a single-tooth implant. Dental implants are a good treatment option for replacing missing teeth in adolescents, provided that the subject’s dental and skeletal development is complete. In some patients the sp...

Crown fracture of maxillary anterior teeth is frequent dental injuries for which patients seek immediate dental treatment. Immediate reattachment of the intact fractured tooth segment is a therapeutic choice in such cases. This case report presents one of the best methods used for reattachment, which is an ultraconservative technique. It allows the restoration of original tooth contour, colour ...

We propose a method for restoring the surface of a tooth crown so that the pose and anatomical features of the tooth will work well for chewing. The system of teeth has been modeled with a 3D statistical multi-object shape model build from 3D scans of dental cast models. The restoration is carried out using the shape model statistics in a Bayesian framework to calculate the most probable tooth ...

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...

Restoration of endodontically treated teeth is one the major challenges faced in field operative dentistry. In tooth, most part tooth structure lost because dental caries, conventional access cavity preparation and biomechanical during root canal therapy. They become very weak brittle also more prone to fracture compared vital

Provisional restorations are fabricated to protect the prepared tooth structure during the period between tooth preparation and insertion of the definitive restoration. These restorations are also referred to in the literature as interim, temporary, or provisional restorations (prostheses). Such restorations should be uncomplicated and inexpensive to fabricate in a short period of time. Several...
