Intravital treatment of the pulp with simultaneous laser biostimulation.

The aim of the study was clinical and radiological evaluation of the pulp treatment using direct capping and amputation under anaesthesia with simultaneous laser biostimulation. Thirty procedures were performed using laser and thirty-six without it. In all cases non-setting Ca(OH)2 was applied as a biological dressing. The results obtained provide justification for the application of laser biostimulation to biological treatment of the pulp.

The use of an orthodontic thermoplastic retainer as a provisional anterior restoration: a case report.

Children who present with extensive fractures of anterior teeth pose a difficult clinical problem. Pulpal and periodontal injuries must be carefully assessed and managed. Rapid restoration of the form and contour of the extensively fractured tooth is advisable, not only to improve esthetics but also to prevent unwanted tipping or tilting of adjacent teeth and overeruption of opposing teeth. A modified Essix retainer, simply constructed in the laboratory, can be used to provisionally restore the extensively fractured anterior tooth.

Use of provisional restorations to enhance soft-tissue contours for implant restorations.

The objective of restoring missing teeth with implant-supported restorations should not merely be achieving osseointegration with an implant and a biomechanically sound restoration. The objective must be the esthetic and functional restoration of the missing teeth. To achieve this, proper treatment planning is critical. Precise implant placement and delicate soft-tissue manipulation during surgery will allow the restorative dentist to enhance the peri-implant soft-tissue contours with the use of provisional restorations. Empirically, it seems that the earlier the provisional restoration is delivered in the treatment process the more ideal the esthetics. Several methods of using provisional restorations to enhance soft-tissue contours are presented. The concept of immediately delivering provisional restorations on placement of an implant is discussed.

Clinical and microbiological aspects of the Sargon immediate load implant.

A maxillary lateral incisor with severe periodontal destruction was extracted after forced eruption and was replaced with a Sargon Immediate Load Implant. The clinical and microbiological results of the case are reported. The Sargon Immediate Load Implant is an apically expandable, quintapodal, root-form dental implant, designed to be loaded immediately with a provisional fixed restoration in normal occlusion.

Young adult patients with established dental erosion--what should be done?

This clinical paper discusses the problem of managing established erosion in the young patient. For a significant number of these patients it is not possible to establish conclusively the erosive source. Intermediate composite restorations, in addition to the use of normal preventive measures, can be used to protect eroded teeth from further damage. The main goal of such restorations is to protect the viability of the worst-affected teeth until such time as the aetiological factors can be identified and controlled. They can also improve overall aesthetics and create interocclusal space.

[Development of study on modified glass ionomer cement].

Glass ionomer Cement (GIC) is a kind of new dental restorative material. At present, GIC is finding wider use in dental clinical practice such as restoration, adhesion, cavity liner, cure of dental sensitivity and temporary restoration of cavity, because it has several excellent advantages of strong adhesive strength, low stimulation, inhibition of carious teeth. In this paper, the history of glass ionomer cement is introduced and the researching development and perspective of modified glass ionomer cement is elaborated.

Evaluating the potential occupational hazard of handling dental polymer products using the HET-CAM technique.

The irritation potencies of 8 dental polymer products, used as dental restorative materials, adhesives, or temporary constructions, were tested using the HET-CAM (hen's egg test-chorioallantoic membrane) technique. Liquid and powder components, and extracts of cured and freshly mixed non-cured materials of 5 glass ionomers, 1 bonding, 1 composite, and 1 cold-cured acrylate were examined. Results showed that the liquid component of all products had a strong irritation capacity but powder suspensions and extracts from cured and freshly mixed non-cured materials had no effect on the CAM. Thus, dental personnel who handle liquid and powder manually are exposed to components with a high irritation potential, in contrast to patients who are exposed to the cured and mixed non-cured materials with low irritation potential. This illustrates the importance of safe handling procedures and practices for dental personnel who handle non-cured polymers manually.

Treatment of "non-restorable" teeth. A case report.

The purpose of this article is to present a case report of the dental care for permanent teeth that were originally considered "non-restorable". The temporary placement of stainless steel crowns was completed, followed by traditional endodontic therapy. The crowns were used as build-up matrices, access being prepared in the occlusal of the crown. Glass ionomer silver was then placed, followed by marginal finishing. Although this report is an isolated case, and is considered as temporary treatment, there may be indications to consider this technique for clinical care, on an individual basis.

[Definitive diagnosis of proximal caries by temporary separation of posterior teeth].

The authors present a review of diagnosis methods of approximal carious lesions and emphasises the necessity, in cases of incipient carious lesions, of using dental temporary separation to provide an inequivocal diagnosis. The temporary tooth separation offers preservation of dental structure and permits application of preventive and restorative procedures and monitoring incipient carious lesions. Selected methods of temporary dental separation are presented.

Permanent versus temporary restorations after emergency pulpotomies in primary molars.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine if immediate placement of a stainless steel crown (SSC) after emergency pulpotomies in primary molars would result in a better outcome when compared to different temporary restorations. METHODS: Records of 94 emergency pulpotomies in primary molars performed at a university pediatric graduate dental clinic between July 2001 and June 2004 were analyzed. Inclusion criteria included: (1) teeth with a positive history of spontaneous or elicited pain; (2) deep caries with close approximation to the pulp; (3) absence of clinical and radiographic signs of pulpal degeneration; (4) abnormal mobility; or (5) swelling. Pulpotomized teeth were temporarily restored with a zinc oxide eugenol-based temporary restoration (IRM) covered with Ketac Molar or with a permanent restoration (SSC). The time interval between emergency and definitive treatment or recall, age, gender, tooth type, and arch were the variables analyzed in the study. Success was determined by record (progress notes and radiographs) verification of SSC placement in case of a temporary restoration and by confirmation of crown presence during recall exam. Data from emergency pulpotomies restored only with IRM was added to the study and included in the statistical analysis. RESULTS: Superior clinical success was obtained when emergency pulpotomies were restored with SSC (86%) when compared to IRM only (61%) or IRM and Ketac Molar combined (77%). Statistical significance was obtained in favor of SSC when survival analysis was performed (P<.001). No statistically significant difference was found for any of the other variables (P>.05). CONCLUSIONS: Immediate placement of an SSC tended to improve the chances for success when emergency pulpotomies are performed.

Successful management of the gingival tissues for aesthetic restorative procedures.

A sage advisor once said, "Why is it that we (dentists) never seem to have the time to do all steps the first time around, but then find the time when something goes amiss?" Many of us are caught up in a prison called time that directly dictates our every move. We must be released from this mindset and rediscover the importance of patience and devotion to technique. That same wise man added, "The definition of a short cut is the longest distance between two points." The moral is time spent to gain tissue health will be returned a thousand fold. Cases will be completed with greater patient comfort and doctor satisfaction.

[Provisional restorations in fixed prosthetics. Combination of photopolymerizing resin and composites].

This study shows the interest of using a light cured resin for temporary restorations. The rubber like stade enables easy removable of undercuts and excess material can be trimmed easily before light irradiation. Physico-chemical properties of light cured resin are compared with those of four chemical-polymerizing resins. Exothermic reaction, transverse strengths, modulus of elasticity, and differential scanning calorimetry show the same values as the best autopolymerizing resins. The author presents an original technic, using the light cured resin with light cured composites to achieve aesthetic and strong temporary restorations.

Interim obturation of palatal perforations to facilitate routine dental care.

Routine preventive or restorative dental procedures (or both) may be compromised, deferred, or even denied to patients with exceptional problems that complicate treatment. Perforations of the hard palate require temporary obturation while the patient receives routine dental care such as prophylaxis, periodontic treatment, restorative dentistry, and repair or modification of an existing prosthesis. Temporary obturation, using an adhesive peristomal covering has been a helpful adjunct to prevent the dehydrating of a patient's nasal tissues, to facilitate the patient's speech and deglutition, and to maintain the patient's psychological well-being while the prosthesis is out of the mouth. An effective, comfortable, and economical method of interim obturation has been described.

Clinical failure of class-II restorations of a highly viscous glass-ionomer material over a 6-year period: a retrospective study.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this retrospective clinical study was to evaluate the performance of high-viscosity glass-ionomer cement (GIC) class-II restorations over 6 years of clinical service. METHODS: All class-II GIC restorations made in 1996 and 1997, in regular attending adult patients of a general dental practice were selected. Restorations made for temporary function were excluded, as were those restorations not made using the main study material: Fuji IX GP (GC). Failures were recorded where replacement or repair had occurred. Radiographs were evaluated where available. RESULTS: The final study group consisted of 116 class-II restorations in 72 patients (33 males, 39 females). Distribution of restorations was: 30 MO, 40 DO, 46 MOD. Until 18 months no failures were observed. From 18 to 42 months survival dropped to 93%. After 42 months failure rate increased and at 72 months survival was only 60%. In all but one case the recorded reason for replacement or repair was gross loss of GIC in proximal areas. No restorations failed because of occlusal wear or isthmus-fractures. On radiographs, progressive loss of GIC material in proximal areas, just below contact areas, was commonly observed. In absence of adjacent teeth no loss of GIC material was observed at proximal surfaces. SIGNIFICANCE: Rising failure rate of class-II high-viscosity GIC restorations, due to proximal breakdown was observed. We hypothesize that caries-like loss of material as seen on radiographs contributes to this phenomenon. Presence of proximal contacts seems to promote disintegration of cement.
