Restoring function and esthetics in 2 patients with amelogenesis imperfecta: case report.

This case report describes the prosthodontic treatment for a 28-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy diagnosed with amelogenesis imperfecta. The aim of treatment was to reduce dental sensitivity and to restore esthetics and masticatory function. Because of the socioeconomic status of the patients, direct resin composite laminate veneers were used to improve the esthetics of their maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth. Clinical examination 12 months after treatment revealed no evidence of disorders associated with the restored teeth or their supporting structures. Definitive treatment outcomes in terms of function and esthetics satisfied the expectations of both the patient and the interdisciplinary team.

Use of an alternative pontic foundation technique for a fiber-reinforced composite fixed partial denture: a clinical report.

This article describes the treatment of a patient for whom a fiber-composite laminate dowel and core and polyethylene fiber were used as a conservative alternative to provide a dowel-and-core and fixed partial denture foundation. The treatment plan included removing the existing restoration on the maxillary right first molar, placing a fiber-reinforced resin dowel and core for retention and reinforcement of the maxillary first premolar, and fabricating a definitive restoration using polyethylene fiber to reinforce the fixed partial denture.

Polyethylene fiber-reinforced composite inlay fixed partial dentures: two-year preliminary results.

PURPOSE: Polyethylene fiber-reinforced composite inlay fixed partial dentures (FPDs) have been under development for some time. There is a lack of data on the clinical performance of such prostheses. This prospective clinical study evaluated the clinical performance of polyethylene fiber-reinforced composite FPDs over two years. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-eight polyethylene fiber-reinforced composite inlay FPDs were fabricated for 19 patients. The treatment plan included removal of the existing restorations, placement of an ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWP) fiber ribbon, and final restoration with a light-curing hybrid resin. The 28 polyethylene fiber-reinforced composite inlay FPDs were examined clinically after 2 years. RESULTS: All 28 FPDs were intact at the 2-year examination. There were no signs of fracture, debonding, or discoloration. CONCLUSION: Based on the results of this descriptive study, the polyethylene fiber-reinforced composite inlay FPDs were considered clinically successful at the 2-year examination.

Multiple root fracture: a case report.

An 11-year-old boy was diagnosed with a horizontal root fracture in the maxillary right lateral incisor and a crown fracture in the maxillary right central incisor. This patient was treated endodontically and conservatively. At a follow-up examination 36 months after treatment, the teeth were functionally and esthetically normal. Radiographically, no pathosis was evident in periapical or fracture areas.
