Caries of the primary incisors is a common problem that can be arrested if recognized early enough. However, the arrested decay is unsightly. Celluloid 'strip' crown forms, used with composite resin, now allow the restoration of even the most badly decayed primary incisors. The authors describe this quick and efficient technique.
Composite and porcelain veneers offer a conservative method of masking discolouration of the teeth of younger patients. Composite veneers are the less destructive of tooth tissue, but also the less durable. This two-part article reviews the use of veneers in treating the adolescent patient. Part 1 examines indications for treatment and gives a step-by-step guide to the clinical procedure for veneering with composite. Next month, Part 2 will cover porcelain veneers and draw some overall conclusions.
Early recognition and action are essential elements in the management of amelogenesis imperfecta. The authors describe how a combination of prompt clinical action and preventive care were used to minimize the chances of decay and wear to the permanent dentition of a young patient suffering from this condition.

Twenty-three patients received 45 heat- and pressure-cured composite resin inlays. Approximately 6 months after placement of the inlays, 34 of the inlays (in 19 patients) were examined according to the criteria of the California Dental Association and also for bleeding upon probing. At least 12 months later, 30 inlays (in 16 patients) were reexamined. At the first examination, 28 inlays were rated excellent, three were rated acceptable, and three were rated unsatisfactory. At the second examination, 21 were found to be excellent, eight were acceptable, and one was unsatisfactory. One inlay had been fractured before the first examination, but no other fractured inlays were observed. Except for slightly discolored margins in six inlays, excellent color match and smooth, glossy surfaces were found in most of the restorations.

The development of porcelain, acrylic and mixed crowns is not under discussion. In the same way, it should not be discussed now the evolution of silicate cements, the acrylics, the glass ionomer and the composite resins in their different techniques. We only want to analyze concisely the actual condition of the investigation and of the clinic, as regards the reconstruction with lamellas of the front part of the mouth. Lit can be deduce from the researches that the measurement of the vestibular thickness of y the enamel upon the incisives, laterals and canines specifies that: 1. As regards form, the most suitable elements for the laying of the porcelain laminate are the square, then the ovoid and finally the triangular ones. 2. The central incisives are the best; secondly the canines and then the laterals (this is directly related to the convexity of the fronts and to the amount of residual enamel). 3. It is advisable to finish the peripheric edge of the cavity 1 mm, above the anatomic neck to assure an adequate thickness of enamel in order to obtain a good adherence of the porcelain laminate veneers. 4. It is convenient to use appropriate techniques during the adamantine preparation in order to control its depth (for example diamond-like stones with ends).
