A comparison of gingival marginal gap formation in composite inlays using three different fabrication techniques.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of composite inlays fabricated with three different techniques. Using 2-factor ANOVA it was found that after light curing, the Direct Method was the most accurate. After readapting and heat curing, the Indirect Method was not different from the Direct Method. The same was true after 24 hours' storage in water. The direct method is recommended if proximal contours and contact can be adequately controlled. If an Indirect Method is used, it is recommended that the laboratory use an additional cured layer of composite material in the gingival margin after initial curing to minimize the gaps.

Root caries: some facts and treatment methods.

It has been projected that by the year 2000 every fifth person in the United States will be 65 or older, and root caries will create special restorative needs for this population. This article discusses the characteristics of root caries, the clinical conditions that should be anticipated in diagnosing it, their histologic and bacteriologic aspects, the misleading factors in radiographic diagnosis, the specific and general treatment concepts, the advantages and disadvantages of the popular restorative materials, and the principles applied in specific patients requiring restorations for root caries.

Recording dowel pin position with plastic logs.

Six readily available plastic materials were evaluated for use as a log for locating the ends of die dowel pins. Seven criteria were divided into two main categories of adherence qualities of the material and useability. Cost was the third category evaluated and compared. Color and availability were also considered. Forty-two sophomore dental students accomplished 84 evaluations. Plasticine and Weatherstrip Caulking Cord were found to meet all criteria best.
