Repairing porcelain restorations intraorally: techniques and materials.

Ceramic and metal-ceramic restorations have the potential to fracture. Repairing porcelain restorations has become a serious cosmetic and clinical problem. By using porcelain-repair systems, porcelain fractures can be predictably fixed without removal of a prosthesis. The newest porcelain-repair systems show excellent durability of adhesion as well as bond strength. This article presents an overview of the techniques and materials and compares the four most-popular intraoral porcelain-repair systems.

Microleakage reduction using glass-ceramic inserts.

Thirty human non-carious specimens were used in this in vitro study. The specimens were divided into three groups of 10 each: Group 1: incremental fill: Group 2: Beta-Quartz glass-ceramic inserts: Group 3: pre-cured resin composite inserts. All restorations were placed with TPH resin composite. The specimens were thermocycled and sectioned. Microleakage was determined on a scale of 0 (no microleakage) to 5 (microleakage extending to the axial wall). Results of the study indicated that Beta-Quartz glass-ceramic inserts and incrementally placed resin composite restorations exhibited significantly less microleakage compared to pre-cured resin composite inserts (P < .03, Chi-Square Test).

Restoring endodontically treated teeth. Two different post systems.

One of the greatest challenges to the clinician in restorative dentistry is restoration of an endodontically treated tooth. He or she is faced with many options in materials and techniques, with more than 20 prefabricated post systems currently available. These systems include a variety of post designs, different cements, and core materials, to be used in conjunction with pins and posts for the coronal restoration. An integral cast post and core is another restorative option, as is the use of prefabricated posts.
