Effect of Varying Layers of Two Die Spacers on Precementation Space of Full Coverage Restorations.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the effect of varying layers of two commercially available die spacers on pre-cementation space of full coverage restorations in vitro and in vivo. Seven dies were prepared for each of 15 subjects. On three dies 1, 2, 3 layers of Pico-fit and on other three dies 1, 2, 3 layers of Yeti die spacers applied, wax pattern fabricated, invested and cast.

Functional and esthetic rehabilitation of mutilated dentition associated with amelogenesis imperfecta.

This clinical case report describes the oral rehabilitation of an adult female patient diagnosed with hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta with inadequate, deteriorated restorations of anterior teeth, inadequate clinical crown heights of posterior teeth due to severe attrition of hypoplastic enamel. Treatment included extraction of teeth with poor prognosis, root canal treatment and crown lengthening of severely worn out teeth & full coverage porcelain-fused-to metal fixed restoration of entire dentition. The main objectives of the selected treatment were to enhance the esthetics, restore masticatory function and eliminate the teeth sensitivity.

Comparative study of shade matching performance of dental students under natural daylight and daylight lamp conditions.

Background: As visual shade matching is subject to light source variables, this study was conducted to compare shade matching performance of dental students under two lighting conditions, ie, natural daylight and a commercially available daylight lamp.

Materials And Methods: Two sets of porcelain discs were prepared. The first set consisted of eight porcelain discs of shades A2, A3, A3.

A simplified chair-side remount technique using customized mounting platforms.

Correct occlusal relationships are part of the successful prosthetic treatment for edentulous patients. Fabrication of complete dentures comprises of clinical and laboratory procedures that should be executed accurately for achieving success with fabricated dentures. Errors occurring during the clinical and laboratory procedures of a denture may subsequently lead to the occlusal errors in the final prosthesis.
