Illustrating predictable anterior and posterior esthetic results: two case studies.

More natural-looking restorations are possible today because of advances in the quality of impression materials and the techniques used for tooth preparation and cementation. This article presents two cases that illustrate the use of a new generation of impression materials, bonded resin cement, and pressable porcelain to obtain the desired esthetic result.

Debt and practice profiles of beginning dental practitioners.

Escalating student debt for dental education has led some to speculate that beginning practitioners may undertake procedures that are beyond their competence in an effort to augment practice income. This hypothesis was tested directLy using a data set containing self-reports of practice profiles across a wide range of procedures and debt for education, practice, and personal purposes. Respondents were 113 individuals who had graduated from a private dental school from 1986 to 1997. Conservative dental practice was measured by comparing frequency of commonly and uncommonly performed procedures in the group as a whole against the profile for each respondent. There was no association between educationaL debt and propensity to engage in unconventional procedures. Older dentists and those who felt more competent at the time of graduation were less conservative. Amount of practice debt was a better predictor of unconventional practice than was educational debt.

Using provisional restorations to improve results in complex aesthetic restorative cases.

UNLABELLED: Provisional restorations provide more than an intermediate functional and protective covering of teeth that have been prepared for indirect restorations. They provide the opportunity to build a relationship with the patient, to more clearly achieve the patient's aesthetic expectations, to build patient hygiene skills and habits, and to learn what is ideal for patients occlusally, phonetically, and aesthetically. This presentation examines the benefits of provisionalization and how to effectively communicate the information learned in this stage to the laboratory for replication in the definitive restorations. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: This article demonstrates how provisional restorations can be used to build a collaborative relationship between the prosthodontist, patient, dental specialists, and laboratory technician. Upon reading this article, the reader should: Understand how to use provisional restorations to develop patient expectations and to build a clear understanding of treatment goals. Understand how provisional restorations can be used to limit occlusal and phonetic difficulties that can occur in these restorations.

[Temporary filling materials used in endodontics].

Temporary filling materials are used in endodontics to prevent contamination of the root canal system during intertreatment visits. The effectiveness of these materials in preventing the ingress and egress of fluids, salivary ions and bacteria is dependent upon a numerous physical and mechanical factors. This presentation was conducted to compare the sealing ability of several products that were recommended for the temporary restoration of teeth undergoing endodontic treatment.

Leakage of interim post and cores used during laboratory fabrication of custom posts.

The aim of this study was to compare coronal microleakage in two conditions. Twenty-eight extracted upper molars were endodontically treated and divided into two groups and controls: group A: prefabricated post and core permanently cemented; and group B: prepared for a post and restored with a temporary post crown cemented with a temporary cement. The teeth were thermocycled, immersed in black India ink for 1 week, and made transparent. Results indicated that the permanently cemented, prefabricated post and core produced the best seal (p < 0.01); leakage was significantly greater with the temporary post crown and was similar to that of a positive control group.
