Enamel Veneer Rehabilitation of a Premolar to an Incisor After Autotransplantation.

Tooth autotransplantation is one of the methods used for tooth loss rehabilitation in children. Premolars are usually used as autotransplants requiring esthetic alterations. The purpose of this paper is to present an innovative, alternative and inexpensive way to restore auto-transplanted teeth using the crown of the tooth of the recipient site.

Accuracy of anterior denture tooth arrangements of CAD-CAM complete removable dental prostheses made with a tooth mold template.

Statement Of Problem: Research evaluating the accuracy of anterior tooth mold templates to computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacture (CAD-CAM) fabricated complete removable dental prostheses (CRDPs) is limited.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the accuracy of the anterior denture tooth arrangement on CAD-CAM complete removable dental prostheses made with the anterior tooth mold template.

Material And Methods: A maxillary and mandibular edentulous model was mounted on a semiadjustable articulator to simulate a patient's maxillary arch.

Dental Reshaping Using the Composite Resin Injection Technique After Dental Trauma and Orthodontic Treatment.

Severe dental trauma can often result in tooth loss at an early age. Orthodontic space closure and reshaping of the teeth are a conservative treatment approach. The purpose of this paper is to present a fast and predictable way to reshape teeth using the composite resin injection technique.

Assessing the Effect of Low Calorie Soda Beverages on Primary Tooth Enamel: An Study.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of low calorie soda beverages on the enamel of primary teeth. : Fifty enamel slabs were prepared from twenty primary extracted teeth and were equally divided into five groups: a) 0.9% NaCl (Control), b) Coca-Cola Classic (Sucrose), c) Diet Coke (Aspartame), d) Zevia Cola (Erythritol), e) Coca-Cola Life (Stevia).

Effect of cement type on the clinical performance and complications of zirconia and lithium disilicate tooth-supported crowns: A systematic review. Report of the Committee on Research in Fixed Prosthodontics of the American Academy of Fixed Prosthodontics.

Statement Of Problem: Zirconia and lithium disilicate have been commonly used as materials for tooth-supported complete-coverage restorations. Adhesive and conventional cements have been suggested for cementation of these restorations. However, evidence on the effect of cement type on the clinical outcomes of teeth restored with zirconia or lithium disilicate restorations is unclear.

Effect of airborne-particle abrasion on 3-dimensional surface roughness and characteristic failure load of fiber-reinforced posts.

Statement Of Problem: Debonding is the most common complication of fiber-reinforced posts (FRPs). Airborne-particle abrasion (APA) has been suggested to increase resin cement adhesion to the surface of FRPs. However, which abrasion protocol is the most favorable is unclear.

Retrofitting a foundation restoration to an existing ceramic crown after endodontic treatment: A dental technique.

This article describes the fabrication of a foundation restoration after endodontic treatment using a preexisting ceramic prosthesis and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tape as a barrier. This technique presents a solution if the prosthesis and marginal integrity are to be maintained.

Impending total airway collapse involving a maxillary removable partial denture: A clinical report.

This article presents a rare incident of a bilateral maxillary removable partial denture as an airway foreign body. The removable partial denture and the surrounding soft tissue irritation caused partial obstruction of the airway. Impending airway collapse was avoided after successful removal of the foreign body.

Analysis of flexural strength and contact pressure after simulated chairside adjustment of pressed lithium disilicate glass-ceramic.

Statement Of Problem: Research evaluating load-to-failure of pressed lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (LDGC) with a clinically validated test after adjustment and repair procedures is scarce.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the effect of the simulated chairside adjustment of the intaglio surface of monolithic pressed LDGC and procedures intended to repair damage.

Material And Methods: A total of 423 IPS e.

The Post-endodontic Adhesive Interface: Theoretical Perspectives and Potential Flaws.

Introduction: The aim of this review was to analyze the potential of successful bonds of endodontic posts to radicular dentin as well as the limitations of the post-endodontic adhesive interface.

Methods: The MEDLINE/PubMed and Web of Science electronic databases were searched. The search was augmented by a manual search of the pertinent bibliographies.

Prosthetic rehabilitation following lateral resection of the mandible with a long cantilever implant-supported fixed prosthesis: A 3-year clinical report.

This clinical report describes the prosthetic management of the surgical reconstruction of a patient after mandibular resection. Complete oral rehabilitation was achieved with a maxillary complete denture and a mandibular implant-supported fixed prosthesis with a custom titanium framework and a long unilateral cantilever.

Complete mouth rehabilitation and gastroesophageal reflux disease: Conventional and contemporary treatment approaches.

This report describes the diagnosis and prosthodontic management of 2 patients with a history of chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease and worn dentition. Different treatment approaches were used for oral rehabilitation. Use of conventional and contemporary restorative materials resulted in functional and esthetic prosthodontic rehabilitation with a favorable prognosis.

Acrylic resin guide for locating the abutment screw access channel of cement-retained implant prostheses.

Abutment screw loosening represents a common and challenging technical complication of cement-retained implant prostheses. This article describes the fabrication of a simple and accurate poly(methyl methacrylate) guide for identifying the location and angulation of the abutment screw access channel of a cement-retained implant prosthesis with a loosened abutment screw.

Fracture resistance of compromised endodontically treated teeth restored with bonded post and cores: An in vitro study.

Statement Of Problem: It is unclear which post and core system performs best when bonded to severely compromised endodontically treated teeth.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the fracture resistance and mode of failure of severely compromised teeth restored with 3 different adhesively bonded post and core systems.

Material And Methods: Thirty extracted endodontically treated maxillary anterior teeth were randomly divided into 3 groups, CPC, gold cast post and core; TPC, titanium prefabricated post/composite resin core; and FPC, quartz fiber reinforced post/composite resin core.
