As “smile makeovers” with laminate veneers become increasingly popular, clinicians must carefully assess each patient for possible contraindications. Functional and biomechanical issues may necess...
The light-curing unit has become an indispensable piece of dental equipment, critical to many successful clinical outcomes. This article reviews operator technique, restoration characteristics, and en...
The existence of an acid-base resistant zone (ABRZ), which forms between the adhesive layer and the tooth, may help prevent the formation of secondary caries at the restorative margin.
Orthodontics prior to restoration was the key to minimizing biomechanical and functional risks in this case that illustrates the use of interincisal angle measurement for achieving proper anterior fun...
This mandibular restoration case demonstrates a predictable approach to placing an all-ceramic full-arch restoration and discusses the advantages of using full-contour zirconia.
This review of monolithic zirconia highlights a clinical case in which all-zirconia restorations were combined with CAD/CAM technology for a successful esthetic restorative outcome.
Spanning 4 years, this restorative case incorporated orthodontics with removable aligners, occlusal adjustment, composite restorations, extraction and implant placement, indirect porcelain veneers, an...
Authors’ in-vitro study findings suggest that pH neutralization strategies and nanoparticle hydroxyapatite crystals be included in remineralization approaches.
To assess whether anything is or is not scientifically wrong with amalgam, the author looks at the vast literature on exposure, toxicology, and risk assessment of mercury.
A multidisciplinary treatment plan was well executed in a case involving a young patient with anterior wear, a high lip line, and thin tissue biotype.
A proposed classification system divides preparation and veneering into reduction—referred to as space requirement, working thickness, or material room—volume of enamel remaining, and percentage o...
This case study describes a new proposed method to treat edentulous areas of the mouth using dental implants and fixed prosthodontic concepts to register secure and accurate bites.
This article outlines the strengths and weaknesses of various popular ceramic restorative materials and how today’s technology can be effectively utilized to fabricate these materials into exception...
