Abstract

An accurate technique that simplifies measurements of two- and three-dimensional specimens is presented. Photomicrographs of a microruler and of the specimens of a research project were made at the same magnification. A ruler with the exact dimensions of the photographic prints of the microruler was generated through computer graphics and printed as a transparency. After verification, the ruler was used to measure specimens directly on the photomicrographs.

[Characteristics of domestically produced siloxane elastomer for making elastic gingival prosthetic device].

Gingival prosthetics effectively eliminates esthetic and phonetic disturbances in cases of pronounced gingival recession. Technology for making elastic gingival prosthetic devices of domestically produced siloxane elastomer composition with microwave siloxane vulcanization is described as well as the technique for making combined gingival prosthetics of siloxane composition and colorless plastic.

Post design and its impact on the root and crown.

To optimize the longevity of an overlying restoration, it is important to follow proper engineering principles. These include the requirement of either an internal or external ferrule. When sufficient tooth structure does not exist to support an internal ferrule, it becomes necessary to use a porcelain-fused-to-metal restoration. The posts supporting these restorations should have low insertional stresses, high retentive values, and an even distribution of functional stresses. In the author's opinion, the split-shanked design of the Flexi-Post and Flexi-Flange is the only design that can deliver this essential combination. The purpose of a post is to help restore or reinforce the coronal structure of a tooth to further increase the retention and stability of an artificial crown. Removing tooth structure to place a post does not increase the root's resistance to vertical or horizontal fracture.
