Longevity of resin bonds to dentinEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Much contemporary esthetic and restorative dentistry relies on bonding of resin-based materials to tooth structure. Adhesion of resin materials to enamel has proved to be extremely strong and reliable since the concept was first introduced by Buonocore in 1955 and widely accepted by clinicians 20[ndash]25 years later. Enamel bonding is a simple and predictable process, because enamel presents a relatively homogeneous and largely inorganic substrate. Dentin, in contrast, is a heterogeneous tissue containing a large proportion of organic material and fluid, and is a difficult and variable substrate for bonding. Although clin...

Clinical Trial Assessing Light Enhancement of In-office Tooth WhiteningEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Use of light enhancement for in-office whitening leads to immediate color change, after which there was significant color and shade rebound within 7 days as well as moderate-to-severe tooth sensitivity during and after treatment. Increased tooth sensitivity during treatment and appreciable short-term color rebound after treatment may impact the utility of in-office tooth whitening with peroxide and light as a stand-alone esthetic procedure.

Prevalence of Carious and Non-carious Cervical Lesions in Archaeological Populations from North America and EuropeEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: The prevalence of carious cervical lesions among the five archaeological populations studied ranged from 0 to 65%. Non-carious cervical lesions were not prevalent among these populations, being found predominantly in Mexicans (26%). Historically, carious and non-carious cervical lesions can be found in individuals with no access to modern oral hygiene tools. The findings of this study are not conclusive, however, as the associations described are not causal.

Re-anatomization of Anterior Eroded Teeth by Stratification with Direct Composite ResinEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This article presents a case report where dental erosion was present because of GERD. Conservative dental treatment of the eroded dentition is described, including diagnosis, treatment planning, bleaching, and restorative reconstruction with direct composite layering techniques without any preparation of the tooth structure. After 1 year of clinical service, the restored teeth present an excellent clinical appearance and require no repair or polishing. The treatment of eroded teeth, caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), with direct composite resin appears to be a conservative and esthetic procedure that is well...

Esthetic Rehabilitation of Maxillary Incisors in Conjunction with Flapless Surgical Techniques, an Implant Zirconia Crown, and Porcelain VeneersEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This article describes a case in which a hopeless maxillary central incisor is replaced with an implant using flapless techniques, and restored with a customized zirconia abutment and crown. In addition, the remaining maxillary incisors were restored with feldspathic porcelain veneers to yield a highly esthetic result. This case demonstrates how a conservative multidisciplinary approach facilitates excellent results in an esthetically demanding area. Atraumatic surgical techniques can maintain the natural soft tissue architecture, while a detailed approach to provisional and final restorations allows for a highly esthetic ...

Intraoral repair of fractured ceramic restorationsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Much of dentistry performed today has an esthetic focus, and subsequently more teeth are being restored with porcelain in the attempt to provide the most natural esthetics possible. Unfortunately, along with an increase in the use of dental porcelains comes an increase in risk for fractures, which at times can require an urgent and expedient solution. This Critical Appraisal reviews four studies to determine which method(s) of repair might yield the most predictable results. (Source: Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry)

Hardness of Three Resin-Modified Glass-Ionomer Restorative Materials as a Function of Depth and TimeEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Although certain RMGI materials demonstrate a potential for post light-activation chemically initiated resin polymerization and/or polyalkenoate acid/base reaction, these reactions may not be sufficient to ensure that the material is adequately polymerized for long-term success. This is particularly true when RMGI materials are placed in thicker layers where curing light penetration may be compromised. RMGI materials should not be placed in bulk but photopolymerized in layers to ensure adequate light activation. The results of this study suggest that Photac-Fil Quick be placed in layers no thicker than 2 mm whi...

Initial Repair Bond Strength of a Nano-filled Hybrid Resin: Effect of Surface Treatments and Bonding AgentsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Surface treatment with DB or AT was more effective than with the other surface treatments tested for the repair of nano-filled composites. The adhesive used as an intermediate agent is also important in composite repair. Surface treatment with a diamond bur plus a proper adhesive agent is a simple, efficient, and cost-effective procedure for enhancing the shear bond strength of a repaired nano-hybrid resin composite.

Influence of NaHCO3 Powder on Translucency of Microfilled Composite Resin Immersed in Different MouthrinsesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The regular use of mouthrinses, particularly when combined with the use of air-powder polishing, could affect the appearance of tooth-colored restorations. The current study sought to evaluate the effect of NaHCO3 powder on translucency of a microfilled composite resin immersed in different mouthrinses, at distinct evaluation periods. Eighty disk-shaped specimens of composite resin (Durafill VS, Heraeus Kulzer GmbH & Co. KG, Hanau, Germany) were prepared. The composite specimens were then randomly allocated into two groups according to the surface treatment: exposure to NaHCO3 powder (10 seconds) or nonexposure, and they w...

Closure of Diastema and Gingival Recontouring Using Direct Adhesive Restorations: A Case ReportEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
One of the challenges in clinical esthetic dentistry is closing anterior diastemas without creating "black triangles" between the teeth. The success of a restorative treatment in anterior teeth depends on the esthetic integration between soft tissues and hard tissues. The conditioning of the interdental papilla is a simple, direct, predictable, and low-cost alternative. This paper reports a case on diastema closure in anterior teeth that was successfully treated using gingival recontouring and composite resin restorations. The closure of diastemas in anterior teeth using direct adhesive restorations and gingival recontouri...

Class II Restorations with Margins below the CEJEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: It was concluded that the finishing procedure itself causes damage to the resin-dentin interface, which allows dye penetration to occur. This could potentially explain why resin adhesive materials have fared so poorly in Class II in vitro investigations, which is not the common clinical experience. It is likely that, in clinical situations in which high-quality materials are used properly, Class II restorations with margins below the CEJ perform better than is indicated by research. In most clinical situations it is not feasible to finish Class II margins below the CEJ. However in those cases in which access i...

Correlation between the Individual and the Combined Width of the Six Maxillary Anterior TeethEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: The individual tooth width can be determined if the combined width of the maxillary anterior teeth is obtained by using a flexible millimeter ruler. The adequate selection of each maxillary anterior tooth width can offer variance and individuality to the denture, particularly for partially dentate patients. By offering an adequate tooth-to-tooth relationship, the esthetic result of the oral rehabilitation treatment can be improved.
