The material can be sterilized, is easy to manipulate, radiopaque, and less associated with malodor when retrieved. Malodor is primarily associated with the implant-abutment interface configuration and the suprastructure component design of a given implant system. This technique enables fast removal of the filling material in a single piece, preventing unpredictable and time-consuming manipulations when removal of the screw-retained crown or abutment is required.

If the dentist has the required shade and mold of the prosthetic tooth on hand, the repair can be accomplished in the office. However, it is expensive to maintain an adequate inventory of various shades and molds of denture teeth, so the prosthesis is often sent to a dental laboratory for repair. The patient may then be without his or her denture for an extended time period.

Alternate surface-conditioning methods may be used in the dental laboratory during fabrication of the restoration to avoid airborne-particle abrasion. These surface-conditioning methods include plasma spraying with hexamethyldisiloxane, applying a low-fusing porcelain pearl layer, a so-called selective infiltration-etching technique, or using a newly patented modified ceramic surface (tentatively named NobelBond; Nobel Biocare AB, Göteborg, Sweden). However, it is not clear whether such preconditioned bonding surfaces can be effectively cleaned following unavoidable contamination with saliva during intraoral evaluation of a restoration.

The primary reasons for making new prostheses were discoloration, tearing, and mechanical failures of the acrylic resin substructure or retentive elements. Common complications were the need for clip activation, loosening of bar screws and abutments, and loss of attachment between silicone and the acrylic resin substructure.

The dental professional should have sufficient evidence to validate the switch from an air-turbine handpiece to an electric handpiece. However, there is little research quantifying the cutting efficiency of electric and air-turbine handpieces. Studies that do quantify cutting efficiency typically do so with only a single material. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the cutting efficiency of an electric handpiece and an air-turbine handpiece, using various materials commonly used in dentistry. Material and methods: Seven materials: Macor (machinable glass ceramic), silver amalgam, aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide, high noble metal alloy, noble metal al...

This duplicate serves 3 different functions. It can be used as a radiographic guide, surgical template, and custom tray adapted to the patient's occlusion. Advantages of the technique described are twofold: it is cost effective and makes use of equipment and materials commonly found in dental practices. The use of a single guide allows the clinician to refer to the recorded prosthetic data at each step of implant treatment.

In the models, the von Mises stress values increased with the increasing elastic modulus of the restorative material. Composite resin onlays showed the best performance overall in minimizing internal stresses. As internal stresses are indicated as a prime failure mechanism of the restoration, composite resin onlays are expected to better restore structural integrity.

In addition to its systemic effects, cocaine can cause extensive destruction of the osteocartilaginous midline structures of the palate, nose, and sinuses. Without an accurate social and clinical history, a cocaine-induced midline destructive lesion can cause diagnostic difficulties, because its clinical presentation closely mimics other diseases. This clinical report describes an oronasal defect caused by cocaine use, the diagnostic considerations of these lesions, and prosthetic management of the defect.

After an implant-level impression is made with a polyether impression material, the provisional restoration is fabricated indirectly. This technique is easy, saves time, and has economic advantages, while maintaining color stability and esthetic properties for the provisional restoration. It may be contraindicated for severely misaligned implants that require extensive reduction of the implant temporary abutments and denture teeth laminates.

Surface conditioning of posts is expected to increase the chemical and mechanical bond between the luting composite resin and the post, but the best method has not been definitively determined. Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the effects of 3 surface-conditioning methods on the retentive bond strengths of FRC posts using 5 composite resin materials, and compare results to those of unconditioned FRC posts as well. Material and methods: Post space preparations (DentinPost ER root post system, length of 12 mm) were performed on 200 human anterior teeth. ...

Following surgical resection of the left half of the mandible from the angle to the parasymphyseal region, a free osseocutaneous flap from the fibula was used to successfully reconstruct the mandible. Dental implants were subsequently placed, and an implant-supported, removable mandibular resection prosthesis was fabricated. Prosthodontic planning and treatment considerations in a growing child with a reconstructed mandible are discussed.

The technique presented emphasizes “guiding” of the soft tissue by modifying a provisional restoration to obtain an emergence profile that appears natural and blends with the gingival contour of the adjacent teeth. The technique provides an accurate impression of the soft tissue through the intraoral use of autopolymerized acrylic resin supported by the impression coping and vinyl polylsiloxane impression material. The eventual restoration uses an esthetic zirconia custom abutment and an implant-supported single crown to fulfill the esthetic and functional expectations of the patient and the provider.

Most detachments occur in the anterior areas and may result from localized stress concentration. When repairing a debonded or fractured tooth, the occlusal relationship must be carefully evaluated to prevent heavy occlusal/excursive contacts on the repaired tooth. If a debonded tooth is intact and can be placed back in the denture, an index can be made to position the tooth for repair. Other techniques, such as arranging a tooth and securing it with a wax or stone index for repair, or repair with composite resin, have been reported in the literature. When repairing a fractured/debonded denture tooth, an opposing cast mounted at the maximal intercus...

Modification of a standard self-retaining silicone cannula or laryngectomy button often aids in the attachment of a speaking valve within the tracheal lumen for hands-free TE speech production. An increased number of laryngectomized individuals are able to achieve hands-free TE speech when the standard length, flange, and diameter of a silicone button is customized to accommodate individual tracheostomal contours. A technique is presented for modification of a standard silicone laryngectomy button to facilitate hands-free TE speech after total laryngectomy. (J Prosthet Dent 2009;102:328-331) (Source: Journa...

Correction of the residual defect can be complicated by the presence of an underlying malocclusion and can be a significant clinical challenge if large numbers of teeth have been lost in surgery. This clinical report discusses the interdisciplinary treatment to rehabilitate a patient with a history of surgical removal of fibromatosis. Treatment involved the use of osseointegrated implants to facilitate orthodontic correction of an underlying malocclusion. The implants were subsequently used in the prosthodontic rehabilitation of the residual surgical defect.

A bar attachment assembly connects retained roots, teeth, or osseointegrated implants. Several bar attachment systems have been described in the dental literature. Among them, the Dolder bar (Dolder Bar System; Attachments Intl, Inc, Burlingame, Calif) and the Hader bar (Hader-EDS Bar System; Attachments Intl, Inc) are most often used for overdentures and implant-retained restorations. A disadvantage of these bar systems is that they are expensive. An economical replacement for the bar systems is described.

Provisional restorations need to mimic the definitive restoration as closely as clinically possible. When multiple adjacent provisional restorations are fabricated, the ability to make each separately, with its own path of insertion and contour, aids in providing a predictable final result for the patient. Individual provisional restorations will also allow the patient to maintain better hygiene.

Application of these alloys might be enhanced if new techniques are used. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the internal fit of laser-sintered Co-Cr alloy crowns with base metal restorations prepared from another Co-Cr alloy and a Ni-Cr alloy using conventional casting techniques. Material and methods: Internal fit of laser-sintered Co-Cr crowns was compared with the fit of conventionally cast Ni-Cr and Co-Cr alloy crowns. Twelve crown-shaped specimens were prepared on a stainless steel die representing a prepared maxillary right central incisor for each group. Fit of crowns was evaluated using 2 different techniques: (1) weighing the lig...

For a successful clinical outcome, the luting agent should have high bond strength, not only to the ceramic surface, but also to the tooth surface. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine shear (S) and tensile (T) bond strengths between 2 all-ceramic systems and human dentin using 3 dual-polymerizing resin cements. Material and methods: The buccal surfaces of 120 freshly extracted human third molars were ground flat, parallel to the long axis. Sixty specimens were prepared from each of 2 all-ceramic systems (IPS Empress 2 (E) and Cergo Pressable Ceramic (C)). Twenty specimens were luted with each of the following resin ...

Marginal quality of tooth-colored restorations in large Class II cavities is satisfactory in enamel margins, but microleakage in dentin margins remains a concern. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the microleakage of all-ceramic inlays luted with 2 dual-polymerizing resin cements or 1 autopolymerizing resin cement in combination with different dentin adhesives. Material and methods: One hundred and twenty extracted human mandibular third molars were used in this study. Teeth were prepared to receive Class II MOD inlays with enamel gingival margins on 1 proximal surface and denti...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the presence of a ring liner and the burn-out temperature of the investment material affect the clinical time required to fit a cast post. Material and methods: Sixty identical post patterns were fabricated from a customized stainless steel root form. They were divided into 3 groups (n=20) as follows: group LH used a cellulose ring liner and a final burn-out temperature of 815°C; group NH used no liner with the same temperature; group NL used no liner with a final burn-out tempera...

Because both microstructural bands principally contain gold, palladium, and platinum, these noble cast-to implant components should be metallurgically compatible with noble metal casting alloys.

During the provisional phase, an optimal emergence profile was created by adjusting the provisional restoration. An impression was made with an individually fabricated impression post for an accurate reproduction of the established emergence profile and, finally, a screw-retained all-ceramic crown was placed. By implementing this protocol, an optimal definitive result could be achieved, together with immediate patient satisfaction. However, cooperation among several disciplines and careful patient selection were required.
