The effects of alloy surface treatments and resins on the retention of resin-bonded retainers.

This study evaluated the effects on retention of three metal surface textures and four resin luting materials by measuring the magnitude of the force required for the removal of resin-bonded fixed partial denture retainers. The results of the study indicate that a retainer air-abraded with 250 mu aluminum oxide, used with any of the resins tested, should provide sufficient retention for single pontic posterior resin-bonded fixed partial dentures.

Undiagnosed intrusion of a lateral incisor following trauma.

The need to account for teeth missing after a traumatic episode, and the need for radiologic methods of investigation of the oral, perioral, and respiratory areas into which teeth may lodge are discussed. A patient with undiagnosed traumatic intrusion of a lateral incisor is presented in whose case routine radiographic investigation before restorative treatment planning revealed the tooth in the maxilla. If such teeth are not removed, respiratory distress or abscess, or delayed healing may complicate recovery.
