Fixed Dental Prosthesis is a treatment modality to replace the missing tooth by utilizing adjacent teeth as abutments. The health, periodontal surface area, crown root ratio and other parameters govern condition of abutment. examination these clinical radiographic determine its usage abutments support retain prosthesis. Adjunctive therapy like lengthening, foundation restorations others can be ...

Dento-alveolar traumas are one of the most frequent injuries to teeth, mainly affecting the upper incisors due to their exposed position in the dental arch. In such cases, esthetics, function and phonetics of anterior teeth may be compromised. Furthermore, when there is involvement of the biological width, there is often a poor prognosis. This case report describes the multidisciplinary approac...

Oblique crown-root fracture in the cervical third of the root is a common event following trauma to the anterior region of the mouth. As a result, sound tooth structure coronal to the attachment apparatus may not be available for restorative needs. Invasion of biological width by fracture line presents a clinical challenge in restorative planning. Placing a restoration margin on sound tooth str...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Researchers have long been in search of products to enhance healing and patient comfort postoperatively. PURPOSE This study aimed to assess the efficacy of propolis extract in combination with Coe-PakTM dressing for pain relief and wound healing after crown lengthening surgery. MATERIALS AND METHOD This randomized clinical trial was performed on 36 patients who were...

Derived from neural crests, the mature pulp is due to the proliferation and condensation of apical cells implicated in root lengthening. Adult cells are bound together by intercellular junctions (desmosomes and gap junctions), forming a network. They are further transported to the crown. Root lengthening is associated to tooth eruption and to vertical sliding. Composed by type I and III collage...

Lip repositioning surgery to address excessive gingival display induced by different etiologies has received major attention recently. Several techniques and variations have been reported, including myotomy or repositioning of the levator labii superioris muscle, Le Fort impaction, maxillary gingivectomies, botulinum toxin injections, and lip stabilization. This study reports a case of excessiv...

When the clinical crowns of teeth are dimensionally inadequate, esthetically and biologically acceptable restoration of these dental units is difficult. Often an acceptable restoration cannot be accomplished without first surgically increasing the length of the existing clinical crowns; therefore, successful management requires an understanding of both the dental and periodontal parameters of t...

UNLABELLED Toothwear is increasing in prevalence. Traditional treatment methods for moderate or advanced toothwear, such as indirect restorations and crown lengthening surgery, are invasive and destructive of remaining tissues. The 'Dahl technique' has been used to obtain space for anterior restorations and has been modified such that direct composite restorations are placed at increased occlus...

Abstract We live in a society that appreciates beauty. More than just restoring the teeth, naturally attractive, confident smiles mean and increasing overall quality of life. Making efforts to improve one's physical appearance is now regarded as an investment health well-being. Superior periodontal cornerstone for individual's aesthetic regeneration. As outcome, perio-aesthetics comprehensive s...

This study investigated the effect of a crown-lengthening ferrule on the fracture resistance of endodontically-treated teeth restored with two dowel-core systems. Thirty-two extracted mandibular first premolars were sectioned perpendicular to the long axis at a point 1.0 mm occlusal to the buccal cementoenamel junction. Following endodontic treatment, the teeth were randomly assigned to four gr...
