Introduction: the Restoration of endodontically treated teeth is critical, and the Awareness of stresses developed by oblique and vertical forces in restorative methods take a great role in treatment plans. Due to the anatomical shape and inherent form of the stress distribution premolars, could be lost by fractures. Some fractures such as vertical fracture which is probable in...

In Image processing, image decomposition and restoration for blurred images are the significant challenges. Using bilateral filter, image is decomposed into two meaningful components. One is the cartoon component which is often called as geometrical part or sketchy approximation. Other is the texture component which is often called as oscillating part or small scale special pattern. Image resto...

Due to the development of dental materials and the esthetic requirements of patients, conservative restoration and esthetic dentistry is becoming more and more important.[...].

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...

introduction: in recent years, significant developments have been taking place in caries removal and cavity preparation using laser in dentistry. as laser use is considered for cavity preparation, it is necessary to determine the quality of restoration margins. glass ionomer cements have great applications for conservative restoration in the pediatric field. the purpose of this in vitro study w...

BACKGROUND The aims of this study were to assess symptoms and signs caused by cracks in teeth and to assess a conservative management protocol. METHODS The symptoms and signs of 100 consecutive teeth that had reversible pulpitis associated with cracks were compared to findings from other reports. Teeth were managed with a conservative protocol which involved removal of cracks, caries and rest...

Coronal rehabilitation of a severely damaged teeth is a challenge for clinician. The Endocrown is indicated for restoration of severely damaged molar, which requires specific restoration technique. This therapy promotes the stability and retention of the indirect restoration, without the need of a cast metal core or reconstruction with intracanal post, thereby reducing the treatment time. The m...

The safest and least traumatic means of removing a cemented restoration is to cut a slot and pry the crown or retainer loose, sacrificing the restoration. However, various techniques and instruments for intact removal of permanently cemented cast restorations have been described in the literature. This literature review explores conservative and semiconservative techniques that are useful for p...
