The importance of laboratory communication in modern dental practice: stone models without faces.

The development of advanced communication technology has enabled clinicians and ceramists to deliver improved dental care to their patients. This article highlights the importance of communication between the clinician, laboratory technician, and patient for the fabrication and delivery of aesthetic restorations. The use of stone models, photography, shade prescriptions, and occlusal relationships is demonstrated as a means to achieve this objective. These principles are illustrated in the restoration of a patient who presented for aesthetic enhancement of the anterior maxilla.

A preliminary consideration of the glass-ceramic dowel post and core.

Both cast ceramic and metal post and cores were made for endodontically treated extracted teeth and restored with ceramic restorations. The ceramic posts did not change the translucency or color of the natural tooth, in contrast to the metal posts, which altered both. A clinical study followed, with eight restorations placed for a mean period of service of 11.3 months. One ceramic post failed early following cementation. This preliminary report indicates that ceramic posts and cores offer excellent esthetic results and may be strong enough for clinical use under normal conditions.
