Background: The aim of the present study was to compare bulk-filled composite resins with conventional composites in terms of cuspal movement and micro-leakage scores.

Methods: Ninety-six maxillary premolar teeth with mesial-occclusal-distal cavities were allocated to four groups. Twelve teeth in each group was treated etch-and-rinse, self-etch or selective-etch (N.=8) protocols with respective adhesive system. Bucco-palatal cusp measurements were performed before and after preparation, and 180s after curing and then subjected to 5000 thermocyclws. After immersed in 0.2% basic fuchsin dye for 24h, cervical micro-leakage was evaluated. The data was analyzed by One-way ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey's honest Test (P<0.05).

Results: All groups and bonding protocols revealed no significant differences in total cuspal deflection measurement and micro-leakage scores. After preparation, a significant increase was found in bucco-palatal width of the teeth compared to baseline (P=0.002). There were no significant relationship among composite resins and adhesives (P>0.05).

Conclusions: Cuspal relief after cavity preparation should be taken into account when evaluating deflection.

Aims And Objectives: This study compared the supraeruption of teeth for study casts (SCs) and panoramic radiographs (PRs) and its relation to tooth type, arch, facial sides, presence of occlusal interferences, and type of tooth movements.

Materials And Methods: A total of 65 patients with their SCs and PRs were recruited. Supraerupted tooth type, arches, sides involved, and the presence of occlusal interferences were recorded.

A functional analysis of Carabelli trait in Australian aboriginal dentition.

Am J Phys Anthropol

Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute, Department of Anatomy and Developmental Biology, Monash University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

Objectives: Carabelli is a nonmetric dental trait variably expressed as a small pit to a prominent cusp in the maxillary molars of modern humans. Investigations on the occurrence and expression rates of this trait have been conducted extensively, tracing its origin to genetic sources. However, there remains a lack of understanding about its potential role in chewing.

Hanau Quint Described as a Formula to Quantify Balanced Occlusion.

Compend Contin Educ Dent

February 2020

Clinical Assistant Professor, Department of Biologic and Materials Sciences and Prosthodontics, University of Michigan School of Dentistry, Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Balanced occlusion is obtained through the interrelationship of the Hanau quint, which includes condylar guidance (CG), incisal guidance (IG), orientation of occlusal plane (OP), compensating curve (CC), and cuspal incline (CI). Once CG and IG are determined, the other three factors of OP, CC, and CI function among each other to balance the occlusion. This article describes a formula that is introduced to quantify a balanced occlusion within the context of the Hanau quint and discusses the limitations of the formula due to individual variabilities of mandibular movements.

Different restorative techniques have been proposed for the treatment of posterior teeth affected by cracked tooth syndrome (CTS). However, the literature is scarce in protocols of how to solve CTS using ceramic restorations made by computer aided design-computer aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) system. CAD-CAM provides a fast and efficient restorative treatment usually in a single visit, reducing the risk of contamination and micro-infiltration of the cracked line.
