An in vitro comparison of apical microleakage after obturation with JS Quick-Fill or lateral condensation.

Thirty extracted human single-root teeth were instrumented to #45 file size while creating a continuous coronal taper. Canals were obturated with Roth 801 sealer and either JS Quick-Fill or lateral condensation of gutta-percha. Mean apical linear microleakage of India Ink was evaluated in cleared teeth using a stereomicroscope. Significantly less leakage (p < 0.1) occurred with lateral condensation than with JS Quick-Fill.

Enhanced fixed prosthetics with a connective tissue ridge augmentation.

Augmentation of the partially edentulous ridge can significantly improve the final prosthetic result. The subepithelial connective tissue graft is the treatment of choice to enhance soft tissue contours. The major advantage of the connective tissue graft is the preservation of the existing gingival coloration and tissue characteristics. A case is described that utilizes the subepithelial connective tissue graft for augmentation of a maxillary anterior ridge prior to prosthetic rehabilitation.
