Maxillary rehabilitation using a removable partial denture with attachments in a cleft lip and palate patient: a clinical report.

Clefts of the lip and/or palate (CLP) are oral-facial defects that affect health and overall quality of life. CLP patients often need multidisciplinary treatment to restore oral function and esthetics. This paper describes the oral rehabilitation of a CLP adult patient who had maxillary bone and tooth loss, resulting in decreased occlusal vertical dimension.

Fracture strength of endodontically treated teeth with flared root canals and restored with different post systems.

Background: Many post systems are available to clinicians, yet no consensus exists about which one is better in restoring endodontically treated teeth.

Purpose: This study evaluated the fracture strength of teeth with flared canals and restored with two fiber-reinforced resin systems (glass fiber: FRC Postec [Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein]; quartz fiber: D.T.
