Esthetic treatment of anterior teeth. Technique choices.

The esthetic treatments of anterior teeth offer a variety of challenges. The dentist's artistic talents, understanding of the principles of esthetics and color are key points in planning and performing a successful treatment. The availability of different modalities of treatment should help provide the patient's needs and expectations. A thorough knowledge of the advantages and limitations of each treatment modality, and each clinical situation, should help in making appropriate treatment decisions.

A laboratory evaluation of the effect of two surface-wetting treatments on soft denture liners.

The wettability of acrylic and silicone soft denture-liners was improved by two methods of surface treatment. They consisted of formation of a thin film of silica from the application of silicon tetrachloride, and by cross-linking the surface molecules and bombarding with hydroxyl free radicals. Softness and water sorption were monitored throughout the study.

Effect of bonded amalgam restorations on microleakage.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate quantitatively the effectiveness of adhesive dentin bonding systems in decreasing microleakage at the tooth-amalgam restoration interface. The results indicated that microleakage was significantly reduced when Amalgambond Plus or All-Bond 2 was used as liners in comparison to either Copalite varnish or no linear under amalgam restorations. No significant difference was found between the two dentin bonding systems at all time periods studied.
