Gingival recession is defined as the apical displacement of marginal gingiva in relation to cemento-enamel junction. It a common clinical finding individuals with good well those poor oral hygiene. may affect single tooth or multiple teeth simultaneously. Patients adjacent gingival recessions present major therapeutic challenge Periodontist, when it comes balancing their esthetic and functional...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Despite the increasing demand for adhesive restorations in pediatric dentistry, polymerization shrinkage and subsequent marginal microleakage remains a problem. The aim of this study was to evaluate of the sealing ability of novel low-shrinkage composite silorane in class V cavity of primary canines in comparison with three types of composite resin. MATERIALS AND METHODS N...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Shear bond strength (SBS) of home and office bleached enamel will be compromised by immediate application of composite restoration. Antioxidant agent may overcome this problem. OBJECTIVES This in vitro study assessed the effect of green tea extract on shear bond strength of resin composite to in-office and home-bleached enamel. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this experimental...

Background: Adhesive bonding in deep sub-gingival areas is a challenge due moist environment leading to poor marginal seal and microleakage class II cavities. The margin elevation technique advocated such areas.
 Aim: aim of this study evaluate enamel, natural substrate as an alternative material for elevation, compare it with the resin-modified glass ionomer composite by evaluating at too...

Focused Clinical Question: What are the key considerations for selecting the best surgical approach in mucogingival plastic surgery? Summary: Treatment of gingival recession has become an important therapeutic issue due to the increasing number of cosmetic requests from patients. The dual goals of mucogingival treatment include complete root coverage, up to the cemento-enamel junction, and blen...

Gingival recession is defined as “Displacement of soft tissue margin apical to the cemento-enamel junction”. Gingival recessions require treatment for many reasons – impaired aesthetic appearance, root sensitivity, cervical caries or abrasion. Presence of gingival recession and gingival inflammation in areas with a lack or narrow band of attached gingiva is identified as a mucogingival problem....

The occlusal morphology of the teeth is mostly determined by the enamel-dentine junction morphology; the enamel-dentine junction plays the role of a primer and conditions the formation of the occlusal enamel reliefs. However, the accretion of the enamel cap yields thickness variations that alter the morphology and the topography of the enamel-dentine junction (i.e., the differential deposition ...

statement of the problem: the survival of pulpless teeth restored with different post and core systems is still a controversial issue. purpose: this study compared the retention of two different post and core systems and also the fracture resistance of teeth restored with these systems. material and method: eighty endodontically treated maxillary central incisors were sectioned perpendicular to...
