background and aims. anterior esthetic restoration is challenging in pediatric dentistry, due to limited durability and poor retention of the restoration.this study assessed the effect of air abrasion on tensile failure load of composite class iii restorations using different preparation techniques. materials and methods. 100 extracted human anterior primary teeth were divided, based on the pre...

Mr. P is a 69-year-old male who presents with a chief complaint of, “I have neglected my teeth for 20 years and I’d like to have them fixed.” He is a lifelong nonsmoker, in good health, with no known drug allergies and no significant past medical history. Dental findings are notable for significant edentulousness: teeth numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 30, 31, 32 are not prese...


 ABSTRACT: Dental fractures comprise the most frequent form of traumatic dental injury and often require an immediate procedure for their treatment. Among treatments, restoration fractured teeth by reattachment tooth fragment to its remnant is a viable clinical treat fracture due trauma because it considered highly conservative technique.

BACKGROUND There are conflicting reports as to the association between smoking, radiotherapy, diabetes and osteoporosis and the risk of dental implant failure. We undertook a meta-analysis to evaluate the association between smoking, radiotherapy, diabetes and osteoporosis and the risk of dental implant failure. METHODS A comprehensive research on MEDLINE and EMBASE, up to January 2013, was c...

The aim of this article was to report on the attitudes, opinions and confidences of final year dental students in three European schools towards the restoration of posterior teeth and in particular towards the use of amalgam and resin composite. One hundred and twenty-eight pre-piloted questionnaires were distributed to final year dental students in Cardiff, Dublin and Malmö. The questionnaire ...

Various technologies about multi-path calculation for extensibility and failure restoration have been suggested as an increasing demand for QoS in MPLS networks. However, the MPLS networks have problems in extensibility for network traffic, failure restoration that waste usage of resources and much delay. Thus, we propose to H-MPLS networks recover failure in networks fast and support efficient...

BACKGROUND Secondary caries are considered the main cause of dental restoration failure. In this context, anti-biofilm and bactericidal properties are desired in dental materials against pathogens such as Streptococcus mutans. To this purpose, graphene based materials can be used as fillers of polymer dental adhesives. In this work, we investigated the possibility to use as filler of dental adh...

The tunnel restoration has been suggested as a conservative alternative to the conventional box preparation for treating proximal caries. The main advantage of tunnel restoration over the conventional box or slot preparation includes being more conservative and increasing tooth integrity and strength by preserving the marginal ridge. However, tunnel restoration is technique-sensitive and can be...

The most prevalent and chronic disease affecting upper anterior teeth in children are dental caries, predominantly caused by bottle feeding. Children though young, are very conscious about their appearance and are prone to develop inferiority complex between their peers because of unpleasant smile. Therefore, aesthetic and functional rehabilitation of primary teeth represents a challenge for th...
