Aesthetic management of traumatized anterior teeth.

The emergency of a traumatically injured tooth occurs frequently in a general dental practice. Patients, staff, and dentist should know what restorative techniques are available to manage the crisis. When the emergency occurs, the patient is probably going to call the dental office. The staff must be prepared for triage of the emergency so that the dentist can plan on the best course of action to manage the clinical circumstance. One method of triaging an emergency caused by traumatic injury to the tooth is by using a short questionnaire that can be completed either by the office staff member taking the telephone call or by the patient if present. This can provide important information for the treatment of the situation. Clinically, the traumatized anterior tooth needs immediate attention. The pulpal status of the tooth needs to be assessed and in the case of tooth or restoration fracture, the circumstances many times dictate an immediate restorative treatment to correct an unaesthetic situation. This article provides the dentist and staff with a variety of restorative techniques that address the aesthetic management of anterior teeth that have been traumatized.

Current concepts in polishing composite resins.

The aesthetic appearance of composite resin is based upon shape, color, and gloss of the restoration, achieved by finishing and polishing. The smaller the composite resin filler and the more resin polymer present in the restorative material, the higher the attainable luster. This article examines the recent changes and improvements in materials and techniques of polishing and finishing the macrofill, hybrid, and microfill restorations.

Trouble shooting everyday restorative emergencies.

Restorative emergencies present themselves nearly every day in a general practice. Both patients and staff appreciate a designed triage protocol that is followed to route patients for treatment. Although most restorative emergencies do not require immediate attention, to patients, the problem is unsettling and they would want it evaluated as soon as possible. When the necessity for the immediate treatment of an emergency is confirmed, the office schedule is least disrupted when the practitioner and staff follow restorative treatment techniques that manage the dilemma. This article has attempted to provide the dentist with some methods of triage and treatment of restorative emergencies. There are other methods for treating patients with similar emergency needs. The manner that is chosen has to be the one that works at a clinically predictable level.

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.
