Esthetic post-and-core treatment.

The dilemma that confronts the practitioner in the area of post-endodontic rehabilitation is a positive one. The variety of products and techniques available offer practical solutions to most restorative problems. Patients have benefited [figure: see text] from recent developments in post-and-core technology, and continue to reap the benefits of research and development. The ideal system of products for the endodontic-restorative continuum includes: an esthetic resin fiber post a composite core an automixed resin luting cement current techniques that combine the automixed resin luting cement and composite core into the same component.

Diagnosis and treatment planning for ceramic restorations.

Esthetic dentistry's intention is to deliver all phases of dentistry in a natural and attractive manner. Whether restorative and laboratory procedures or periodontal, orthodontic, or surgical procedures, ultimately the end results need to be natural in appearance and esthetically pleasing to the patient and dentist. The intention of this case study was to emphasize the relationship between the patient, dentist, and laboratory technician. The ability of all three to work efficiently demands incredible communication skills. A mutual respect in knowledge, desires, and skills creates the foundation to initiate this relationship. Communication skills and respect need to follow time-tested principles of restorative and prosthetic dentistry to be successful.

Operative dentistry: an alternative to orthodontics.

The purpose of this paper is to describe a clinical case, which highlights the role of Operative Dentistry in the treatment of Dento-alveolar Disproportion in an impoverished tropical environment. The patient had a diastema located between tooth 24 and tooth 25 due to an atypical position of his tongue while swallowing. The patient had been referred to because he could not afford Orthodontics. We suggested a conservative bridge compounded of 2 resin veneers and pontic bounded by the composite tetric ceram. The 0.5 mm teeth reduction concern lingual and proximal faces with retention form, starting at 0.3 mm from the incisal edge to 0.5 mm from the gingiva was performed with diamond burs (Shoulder and finishing). The result was satisfactory and leads us to conclude that Operative Dentistry is a good alternative to Orthodontics in a very specific social context.

[Repair of tooth wear; restorative-prosthetic aspects].

Tooth wear is considered to be the third major threat to dental health in the industrialized parts of the world next to caries and periodontal disease. Bruxism can be a cause for excessive tooth wear. Thanks to the successes in the prevention and early treatment of the infectious dental diseases, dentitions last longer as result of which tooth wear is becoming more and more of a problem in the preservation of a physiologic dentition throughout live. Furthermore there seems to be an increasing tendency for the occurrence of severe tooth wear at very early ages. Early recognition of possible contributing factors for tooth wear by the dental team is of utmost importance to enhance success in treating the problem. Prevention of ongoing damage to the remaining tooth structure must be the starting point of every treatment plan. Repair of tooth wear is in many cases a challenge from a restorative/prosthetic perspective: esthetic and phonetic aspects play an important role along with the restorative and prosthetic choices as well as functional considerations the clinician has to deal with.

Indications and potential of bonded metal-ceramic fixed partial dentures.

Recent progress in restorative dentistry has dramatically modified contemporary treatment concepts, which are typified by the preservation of healthy tissues, recognition of aesthetic expectations, and the search for simplified prosthetic solutions. While this shift in focus has justified the increasing interest in implantology, it has also resulted in the expansion of adhesive and conservative treatment options. This article reviews the various means available to replace missing anterior teeth, as well as the periodontal and surgical procedures that are associated with the optimization of biological, functional, and aesthetic results.

Achieving aesthetic excellence through an outcome-based restorative treatment rationale.

The conceptual basis of restorative-driven implant dentistry is well established among clinicians. Its implementation includes the development of a prosthetic blue-print that will serve as a guide throughout therapy. While these concepts may be applied to prosthetic dentistry in general, their benefits are most compelling in the treatment of the aesthetic zone. This article demonstrates a systematic multidimensional approach for the establishment and incorporation of definitive aesthetic objectives throughout the diagnostic, adjunctive, and restorative treatment phases.
