A directed shrinkage approach to the provision of foundations for decimated teeth.

The directed shrinkage approach was developed to create sealed tooth-restoration interfaces in posterior composite restorations. Creative application of this technique can result in foundations that are suitable for a variety of applications, including salvaging broken-down teeth and supporting free-hand restorations. The sealed interface reduces microleakage and postoperative tooth sensitivity. The components required for this technique are readily available and are usually part of the practice's armamentarium.

Ceramic inlays and onlays: update 1995.

Tooth-colored inlays and onlays are increasingly sought by the public because of a growing interest in restorations that appear natural, and because of concerns about mercury in amalgam fillings. Following the introduction of bonded porcelain inlays in 1985, many of these restorations were placed. These inlays were a natural sequel to the porcelain laminate that reached North America in 1984, yet they did not enjoy the same rate of success. The advent of industrially fabricated porcelain blanks and the ability to copy-mill a positive as an inlay or onlay has resulted in a reliable and predictable dental restoration. Pressed ceramics, which are modelled by wax pattern, are also effective tooth-colored restorations.

The evaluation of occlusal dysfunctional therapy.

PODRs incorporate medical recording procedures for dentistry. Because of their size, these records do not lend themselves to private practice use. Occlusal screening procedures can be used to illuminate the need for occlusal examination. These procedures have a high degree of predictability and provide the essential elements of the PODR without the disadvantage of requiring a complete occlusal examination for each patient. Occlusal and TMJ examination are in general use. It is important to provide space for a differential diagnosis as a means of ensuring that all modes of therapy are considered. Dysfunction of the stomatognathic system occurs when the sum total of host resistance, dental, and other factors exceed a threshold. A concept based on an alterable threshold in relation to these factors has been presented. When therapy is required for breakdown of the stomatognathic system, multiple treatment choices exist. The multitherapeutic approach can provide for a synergistic effect to accelerate and enhance treatment. Use of a POSA is an integral part of an office PODR. A scoring system with a differentiation of six is recommended to ensure an adequate and accurate stomatognathic evaluation.
