Placement technique for direct posterior composite restorations.

Due to improved materials, instrumentation, and placement techniques, composite resins have overcome the traditional complications associated with wear resistance, microleakage, sensitivity, and tight anatomical contacts. Composite resins have been utilized with increased frequency for direct posterior restorations capable of satisfying the growing aesthetic expectations of contemporary dental patients. When properly placed, posterior composites can provide successful and predictable restorations. This article presents clinical considerations for the aesthetic conservation of posterior restorations with composite resin materials.

Conveying diagnosis of cancer.

Conveying news of cancer is stressful for the doctor, as receiving such news is for the patient. A patient may not perceive the news in the same way that the doctor does. Regular incorporation of the suggestions made in this article will advance the doctor's confidence, communication skills, and relationships with patients.

Forceps extraction of teeth with severe internal root resorption.

Many treatment plans require a dental practitioner to maintain the entire labial cortical plate of bone when removing an anterior maxillary tooth. A tooth with an undermined root secondary to an endodontic perforation or internal (Idiopathic) resorption can present a surgical challenge to the general practitioner. This article describes a new technique for extracting a severely undermined anterior maxillary tooth while maintaining the entire labial cortex of bone.

The efficacy of reservoirs in bleaching trays.

Thirty patients were selected to bleach their maxillary teeth. Vacuum-formed trays were fabricated for the maxillary arch so that only one quadrant of bleaching tray had reservoirs. Nupro Gold 10% carbamide peroxide gel was given to patients. They were instructed to place a drop of gel in each tooth area and wear the trays twice a day for two-hour periods. After 10 days the patients were evaluated for shade changes in each quadrant. No clinical difference was observed in the after-shade match of the two quadrants. It appears that the addition of blockout spacers to create reservoirs does not increase the success of home bleaching.
