Bimaxillary simultaneous immediate loading of full-arch restorations: A case series

AIM To describe a bimaxillary simultaneous immediate loading protocol with full-arch implant-supported fixed prostheses. MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective case series of 8 patients who required full-arch rehabilitation was conducted. The main inclusion criteria were patients with teeth that required extraction. At least 1 molar per arch was temporarily employed to stabilize the surgical temp...

Cold testing through full-coverage restorations.

Endodontic diagnosis often requires thermal testing through porcelain fused-to-metal (PFM) and all-ceramic restorations. The purpose of this study was to measure and compare the temperature change during thermal testing by three commonly used methods occurring at the pulp-dentin junction (PDJ) of nonrestored teeth and teeth restored with full coverage restorations made of PFM, all-porcelain, or...

Biocompatibilty Implications of Full- Coverage Crown Restorations

Immediate dentin sealing improves bond strength of indirect restorations.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Delayed dentin sealing is traditionally performed with indirect restorations. With this technique, dentin is sealed after the provisional phase at the cementation appointment. It was demonstrated that this chronology does not provide optimal conditions for bonding procedures. Immediate dentin sealing (IDS) is a new approach in which dentin is sealed immediately following to...

Immediate dentin sealing: a fundamental procedure for indirect bonded restorations.

UNLABELLED The purpose of this article is to review evidence-based principles that could help optimize dentin bonding for indirect composite and porcelain restorations. More than 30 articles were reviewed, most of them addressing the specific situation of dentin bonding for indirect restorations. It appears that the combined results of this data plus clinical experience suggest the need for a r...
