The most significant studies are reviewed and integrated into a practical approach to the understanding and designation of these lesions. A paradigm shift is suggested regarding use of the term “biocorrosion” to supplant “erosion” as it continues to be misused in the United States and many other countries of the world. Biocorrosion embraces the chemical, biochemical, and electrochemical degradation of tooth substance caused by endogenous and exogenous acids, proteolytic agents, as well as the piezoelectric effects only on dentin.

Clinical restorative sites are colonized by bacteria that can contribute to postoperative sensitivity or recurrent caries. The structure of dentin allows for fluid conductance, which has been identified by Brännström as the cause of dentin sensitivity and as well, its water content challenges short‐ and long‐term adhesion.The glutaraldehyde/HEMA combination is stated to be antimicrobial, a flocculating agent that strengthens collagen, and an agent that can create tubular occlusion, thereby reducing postoperative sensitivity by limiting fluid movement without affecting the strength of bonding or adhesive cements. ...

Preprosthetic orthodontic treatment was planned using occlusograms, visualized treatment objective, and sectioned diagnostic waxing for movement of teeth, according to the prosthodontic treatment plan. Temporary anchorage devices were used to accomplish complex orthodontic tooth movements. The definitive treatment included reestablishing appropriate esthetics, and occlusion and restoration of the entire maxillary arch and posterior mandibular dentition with metal ceramic and full gold restorations. At a 2.5‐year follow‐up, positions of teeth and integrity of the restorations remained stable. Importance of preprosthetic ortho...

There is also strong evidence that increased esthetics is highly significant for complete denture acceptance and success. Taking notice of patients' perceptions of natural appearance and esthetics, the clinician can incorporate their preferences in the construction of individualized dentures that will be harmonized with their facial characteristics.Despite the evolution of materials and techniques, the vast majority of dentures still fail to look natural. Thus, producing prostheses that defy detection and successfully restore the appearance of edentulous patients remains a challenge for the clinician.This paper presents a clinical case where immediate loading of implants supporting ...

In such cases, the esthetics of anterior teeth may be compromised when excessive wear to the incisal surfaces occurs. Anterior tooth wear resulting from parafunctional bruxism can be conservatively treated with the use of direct resin composite restorations. This restorative approach has the advantages of presenting good predictability, load resistance, acceptable longevity, preservation of healthy dental tissues, and lower cost when compared with indirect restorations. The use of resin composites to solve esthetic problems, however, requires skill and practice. Thus, the present article demonstrates a conservative approach for restoring the esthetics and function of worn ...

This allows for supragingival margin placement, reduces the potential effect of excess cement‐induced peri‐implant disease, and provides a controlled environment for the bonding process. Another advantage is the matching esthetics of the crown and supporting abutment, which in the event gingival recession occurs, the restoration appears as a longer tooth without the risk of exposing an underlying abutment margin with different esthetic properties.CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCEThe transition margin from an implant abutment to a crown is challenging to manage especially esthetically.

On the other hand, challenges involved in achieving optimal esthetics through implants have also been discussed extensively. Presence of labial/buccal bone in the maxillary anterior region is necessary for esthetic success of treatment, with or without the use of dental implants. This case report describes the multidisciplinary management of a rare case with severe loss of buccal bone confined to the maxillary central incisor region. A patient with a recent history of orthodontic treatment presented with a large buccal dehiscence of soft tissue that exposed nearly the entire buccal root surface of both maxillary central incisors. The treatment plan included extraction of both cent...

Collagen‐associated proteins, including enzymes known as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), also are exposed. The collagen matrix is subsequently infiltrated with resins that are polymerized to establish an adhesive attachment to the dentin. Exposed collagen matrix that is not infiltrated with the adhesive can be degraded by associated MMPs, which might result in deterioration of the adhesive–dentin bond over time. Chlorhexidine (CHX) is able to inhibit MMPs by binding calcium and zinc ions necessary for proteolytic activity. This Critical Appraisal presents salient publications on research that evaluate CHX and...

This paper demonstrates the significant improvement to a smile orthodontists can achieve if they understand the principles of dental esthetics. In assessing smile design, the patient must be evaluated in three dimensions, and both dental and skeletal components must be considered. Expanded documentation in the form of frontal, profile, and oblique images taken both at rest and on dynamic smile permits the dentist to evaluate these elements without cephalometric radiography.CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCEInterdisciplinary treatment has expanded to inclu...

In particular, composite is now used more frequently than amalgam for direct posterior restorations. However, resin composite still suffers from some disadvantages, including the use of an adhesive interfacial bond that degrades with time, moisture, and function in the mouth, and certain key mechanical properties (e.g., modulus of elasticity) that are inferior to those of amalgam. As such, there is a concern that the resin composite should be inserted into a preparation with as few voids as possible to enhance interfacial adaptation, and maximizing the composite degree of conversion so as to maximize mechanical properties. The use of preheated composite has been suggested to aid in both of these goals. Th...

Furthermore, Viroxyn offered a significant reduction relative to Abreva.CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCEProviding care to patients with active lesions greatly increases the risk of spread of infection from one site to another and to members of the dental team. Precautions include the use of special personal protective equipment and limiting treatment during active outbreaks to urgent care only. Accordingly, any treatment that shortens healing time for active lesions would contribute significantly to the health and well‐being of the patient and the dental team.

Moreover, a shade guide made of the composite materials itself is to be preferred as both a faster and more accurate method of determining color.(J Esthet Restor Dent 23:22–33, 2011) (Source: Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry) Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry journals http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4478454 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 00:00:00 +0100 4478454 COMMENTARY. influence of esthetic dental and facial measurements on the caucasian patients' satisfaction http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4478453&cid=s_28254_11_f&fid=28254&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1708-8240.2010.00382.x (Source: Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry) Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry journals http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4478453 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 00:00:00 +0100 4478453 Influence of Esthetic Dental and Facial Measurements on the Caucasian Patients' Satisfaction http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4478452&cid=s_28254_11_f&fid=28254&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1708-8240.2010.00381.x Conclusions:  Within the population tested, the results suggest that the use of esthetic dental and facial measurements may serve as an esthetic guideline and should be considered in esthetic anterior oral rehabilitation.CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCEThe information presented in this article may be useful in helping to create dental restorations with an acceptable esthetic appearance to the patient.

The retention of primary second molars in situ represents a conservative treatment option to preserve alveolar bone at the future implant site, and it is especially indicated for young patients who have not completed skeletal growth until later reassessment can determine definitive treatment. The orthodontist and the restorative dentist must work together in the comprehensive treatment planning of these patients for optimal results.
