Biologic restoration of primary anterior teeth: a case report.

Restoration of primary maxillary incisors, severely destroyed by trauma or caries is a commonly faced problem in a Pediatric dental clinic. Most cases are observed in children with early childhood caries. In the past, the only option would have been to extract the affected teeth and replace them with prosthetic substitutes. However, the availability of natural crowns and roots would allow the use of biologic restorations to preserve the integrity of patient's natural dentition as presented in this case report.

Tooth fragment reattachment--an esthetic alternative: report of a case.

Trauma to the anterior teeth is relatively common among children and teenagers. Reattachment of a fractured fragment to the remaining tooth can provide better and long lasting esthetics, improved function, a positive psychological response and is a faster and less complicated procedure. This article discusses fragment reattachment technique and presents clinical case of coronal fracture involving enamel and dentin.

Finishing and polishing of direct posterior resin restorations.

UNLABELLED: Direct composite resin materials have revolutionized the delivery of minimally invasive treatment in the posterior region. Contemporary resin formulations provide improved strength, wear resistance, and aesthetics. Microhybrid formulations have also been associated with enhanced polishability. Development of an optimal surface polish in turn reduces stain and plaque accumulation, minimizes wear, and enhances the appearance of the definitive restoration. This article presents a simplified technique and protocol for finishing and polishing composite resin materials following restoration of the posterior region. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: This article discusses techniques and a protocol for finishing and polishing posterior direct resin restorations. Upon reading this article, the reader should: Understand the clinical protocol necessary to create direct posterior resin restorations that require minimal finishing. Be able to select appropriate instrumentation for direct posterior resin finishing and polishing procedures. Understand the importance of correct finishing and polishing on plaque accumulation, stain resistance, and wear resistance.

[Possibilities of adhesive restoration using the Evicrol composite filling material (author's transl)].

The Evicrol composite filling material made by Spofa-Dental of Prague, which has been used for one and a half years now, is a valuable addition to the range of filling materials. Its principal indication is for Black classes III, IV and V. The material also proved itself extremely useful for milk tooth filling as well as for the treatment of fractures in the enamel and dentin regions. Compared to cast fillings in the region of the front teeth, an esthetically far more favorable result may be obtained. However, the success of treatment will always be dependent upon careful processing of the material as well as on observation of the suggestions or pointers as to the proper treatment of teeth.

Simplified ceramic restorations using CAD/CAM technologies.

The advent of CAD/CAM systems that enable computerized, in-office fabrication of porcelain restorations has revolutionized the delivery of precise, durable, and aesthetic restorations. Using specialized software programs that facilitate visualization of the desired restoration on the model prior to actual fabrication and scanning devices that can be applied to the intraoral structures have further improved the clinician's ability to determine the necessary restorative parameters that will ensure an accurate fit. This article presents the fabrication and delivery protocol used for CAD/CAM-fabricated restorations.

Organization and case planning for interdisciplinary esthetic restorative cases.

With the help of knowledgeable specialists, a complex case can be made easier to plan and treat when it is broken down into stages. These cases can be confusing, intimidating, and downright scary at first but if a general dentist demonstrates a little patience and assembles the right team, such cases can become routine.

Are there acceptable alternatives to amalgam?

Amalgam has been the material of choice for restoring posterior teeth for more than 100 years. The past 25 years have witnessed significant advances in restorative materials themselves and in the bonding systems for retaining a restoration in the prepared tooth. As a result, there has been a shift toward resin composite materials during this same period because of concerns about the esthetics and biocompatibility of dental amalgam. In addition, other materials such as glass ionomer cements, ceramic inlays and onlays, and gold alloys have been used as alternatives to amalgam. This article will review recent studies on the longevity and biocompatibility of these alternatives to dental amalgam.

The diagnostic tracing analysis--visualization by the numbers.

Aesthetic treatment planning for dentistry often involves nontraditional methods of extracting information from clinical data. Being able to visualize the final treatment solution accurately in the initial diagnostic stages of treatment planning benefits both the clinician and patient. For the dentist it helps define the final treatment plan, allows for identification of unique nuances of the particular case, and contributes to the ease of fabrication of three dimensional treatment aids. It is also important for the dentist to verify that the patient's expectations of treatment are consistent with clinical reality. This article will describe the diagnostic tracing analysis, a tool that can help the visualization process.
