Conservative Approaches to Replacing Congenitally Missing Maxillary Lateral Incisors: Case Series.

Management of missing lateral incisors presents a challenge to attaining optimum esthetics and must be preceded by careful examination of areas of missing teeth and the relationship to adjacent soft and hard tissues. This case series describes various approaches and techniques for managing missing lateral incisors. These techniques were chosen depending mainly on the amount of space in mesiodistal and insiocervical dimensions.

Zygomatic implants as a rehabilitation approach for a severely deficient maxilla.

A gunshot injury is one of the main trauma injuries that affect the head and neck region. Severe esthetic, functional, and psychologic deficiencies are consequences of gunshot injuries. The use of implants anchored in the zygomatic bone has been advocated as an approach to the prosthetic rehabilitation of a severely deficient maxilla.

Effect of core thickness differences on post-fatigue indentation fracture resistance of veneered zirconia crowns.

Purpose: Despite the excellent esthetics of veneered zirconia crowns, the incidence of chipping and fracture of veneer porcelain on zirconia crowns has been recognized to be higher than in metal ceramic crowns. The objective of this investigation was to study the effect of selected variations in core thickness on the post-fatigue fracture resistance of veneer porcelain on zirconia crowns.

Materials And Methods: Zirconia crowns for veneering were prepared with three thickness designs of (a) uniform 0.
