[Treatment plan for removable partial prostheses].

Nowadays, the approach in occlusal therapy is orientated to functional requirements. The preservation of what remains, is more important than the restoration of the complete dental arches. Preliminary treatments have to be evaluated before starting any prosthetic procedure. Oral rehabilitation of a patient with a complicated mutilation is a teamwork. During the treatment, it is important that the patient can rely on one dentist for the coordination of every single treatment. Case reports are discussed and diagrams show the sequence of sessions dealing with other dental disciplines.

Destructive stresses in adhesive luting cements.

In this study, curing shrinkage stress development was monitored in a glass-ionomer and a BisGMA composite luting cement adhesively placed at film thicknesses ranging from 30 to 200 microns. The nature and magnitude of the stress development depended greatly on the formulation and film thicknesses of the lute. The thicker the layer, the faster the stress development in the glass ionomer and the slower in the composite. The contraction stress had a detrimental effect on the cohesive strength of the glass ionomer and on the adhesive strength of the composite cement.

[The utilization of glass ionomer sealing cements].

In order to fix the reconstructive work, a luting cement is used. The main task of this cement is to retain the restoration on the tooth and to fill and seal the gap between them. The first glass ionomer luting cement came on the market in 1978. In the beginning, the cement did not perform as expected: high solubility, high viscosity and hypersensitivity, even followed by pulp death, were reported. The glass ionomer luting cement compares now favourably with the traditional non-adhesive cements. Nevertheless, the zinc phosphate cement is still the most commonly used cementing agent in the dental private practice. Studies have shown that the problems of hypersensitivity after the use of glass ionomer luting cements are more dentist related than material related. This article explains how to use the glass ionomer luting cements in order to achieve a successful cementation.
