Artificial abrasion of interproximal surfaces has been described for almost seventy years as orthodontic intervention for achievement and maintenance of ideal treatment outcome. A variety of terms and approaches have been introduced throughout this period implying a growing clinicians' interest. Nevertheless, the widespread recognition of enamel stripping technique was initiated by the advent o...

Traumatized anterior teeth require quick functional and esthetic repair. Tooth fragment reattachment is a simple and conservative clinical procedure to restore fractured anterior teeth. Different techniques of reattachment include enamel beveling, "v-" shaped internal enamel and dentin grooves, external chamfer, over contouring, and by placing fiber post, all of which were invasive methods. Thi...

crush preparation cytology technique was used during the operative procedure for the diagnosis of 199 cns tumors. this technique is simple, easy to perform, rapid, and inexpensive. the cytomorphologic findings were excellent and helped achieve a rapid and correct diagnosis. this technique was used on the tiny, small specimens which were not suitable for frozen sectioning. the results were compa...

The problem of engineering a biomimetic mineralized layer on the surface native dental tissue (bio-template) was considered in our work. formation biotemplate is achieved with use nanocrystalline carbonate-substituted calcium hydroxyapatite (HAp), alkali, and complex polyfunctional organic polar amino acids. By applying set structural spectroscopic methods analysis we have confirmed HAp bio-tem...

Following a review of periodontal wound healing, this article discusses techniques designed to optimise including guided-tissue regeneration and using enamel matrix derivatives. Enamel derivatives are porcine derived, thought stimulate differentiation, proliferation, migration mineralization in cells found tissues. This charts the development surgical outcomes from regenerative techniques, addi...

Dental enamel is the outermost layer of teeth and the hardest mineralized tissue in the human body. It consists of nanorod-like hydroxyapatite (HA) crystals arranged into a highly organized micro-architectural unit called an enamel prism. These special units play an important role in determining the unique physicochemical properties of dental enamel. Cells (ameloblasts) and enamel proteins are ...

This report describes the bonding technique and clinical course of porcelain laminate veneer restorations applied to discolored maxillary incisors and canines. The patient was an 18-year-old woman, and tooth reduction was limited to the enamel. Laminate veneer restorations were made with a feldspathic porcelain material (Cosmotech Porcelain). After try-in, enamel surfaces were etched with 65% p...
