Gingival prostheses--a review.

Gingival replacement is often a component of comprehensive prosthodontics. Gingival prostheses may be fixed or removable and may be made from acrylics, composite resins, silicones or porcelain-based materials. Undercuts or dental attachments are used to secure removable prostheses, which are esthetically pleasing and easy to maintain. This paper describes several clinical situations in which gingival prostheses were used effectively.

Acrylic Resins↗

Refining the art of porcelain laminate veneers.

As with any other operative or restorative technique, the long-term results, both esthetic and functional, depend directly on [figure: see text] the effort made by the dentist. Attention to detail, allowing enough time, and a steady hand are necessary to obtain the desired result. A few operative tips have been provided to aid the dentist in achieving these sometimes-elusive maximum results. Proper diagnosis, canine-guided occlusion, and attention to detail will help you give your patients that dazzling new smile!

Cuspid↗

The application of all-ceramic restorations in the anterior and posterior regions.

Aesthetic restorations in the posterior region must tolerate masticatory stresses and maintain an adequate amount of anatomic configuration at the occlusal and interproximal regions. Anterior prostheses must be durable, translucent, and versatile for use in areas that require significant color modifications or masking. Leucite-reinforced glassceramic materials have revolutionized the restorative armamentarium and enhanced the clinician's ability to deliver predictable porcelain laminate veneers, full-coverage crowns, inlays, and onlays. The incorporation of all-ceramic options, especially in the anterior region, has resulted in improved strength, durability, marginal integrity, color match, and wear resistance.
