Lip stent for positive pressure in keloid treatment.

The fabrication of a device to exert pressure on a keloid of the lip is described. In addition to providing uniform and adjustable compression, it is strong enough to resist distortion. It is also lightweight, easy to insert and remove, comfortable to wear, esthetically pleasing, easy to clean and fabricate, and inexpensive. The prosthesis is a two-component device made from clear acrylic resin assembled with a spring and screw. The stent should remain in place 12 hours a day for 6 to 12 months.

Interceptive correction of anterior crossbite.

The purpose of this paper was to evaluate a passive method to correct anterior crossbite of only one incisor by creating a composite inclined plane. A total of 15 children were selected, aged 6 to 8. The results at the end of one week showed that in all cases the incisor was in normal position.

Internal bleaching of severe tetracycline discolorations: four-year clinical evaluation.

Two hundred fifty-eight teeth severely discolored by tetracycline were treated with an internal bleaching technique. Endodontic treatment was required in all teeth before the walking bleaching procedure could be undertaken. Four years of clinical and radiographic evaluation revealed good esthetic results for all patients. Endodontic procedures were considered to be successful, and not one patient showed external cervical resorption after 4 years. This type of treatment is a valid alternative to porcelain laminate veneers for those teeth that exhibit severe tetracycline discoloration and in which the dental enamel and anatomic crown are intact.
