Fabrication of a fixed provisional restoration utilizing a light-curing acrylic resin.

The properly fabricated provisional restoration must take into account the following interrelated factors: pulpal protection, periodontal health, occlusion, esthetics, and phonetics. The techniques advocated for construction of a provisional restoration include direct, indirect, and a combination of direct and indirect techniques. Two simple techniques that use light-curing acrylic resin for the fabrication of fixed provisional restorations are presented, and advantages and disadvantages of these techniques are discussed.

Restoration of occlusal vertical dimension by means of a silica-coated onlay removable partial denture in conjunction with dentin bonding: a clinical report.

The prosthesis described in this article allowed restoration of occlusal height by means of an onlay removable partial denture and composite resin bonded veneers. Reasons for its selection are: 1. It is a reversible procedure. 2. The patient can easily clean any plaque accumulation due to supragingival margins. 3. The cost to the patient was much lower than that of a fixed prostheses. 4. Chair time is less than with a fixed prosthesis. 5. Tooth structure remains relatively unaltered except for recontouring prior to onlay construction. 6. Repairs are easily done. 7. The onlays of the removable partial denture transfer the occlusal load on the abutment teeth along their long axes. 8. The procedure is less stressful and fatiguing to the patient than that involving a fixed prosthesis.

Comparison of aesthetic posterior restorations.

In the past decade there has been an increased desire by the profession and the public for an aesthetic restoration that will restore a posterior tooth to its original form and function. The currently available aesthetic posterior restoration materials and techniques are porcelain, cast ceramic, direct composite, direct-indirect composite, indirect composite, and CAD-CAM fabrications. The indications and contraindications of these restorative materials and proper diagnosis and case selection are described.
