Tooth fractures are often reported as emergencies in dental practice. Coronal of the anterior teeth a prevalent cause trauma children and teenagers. It's tragic situation that necessitates prompt care quick functional esthetic repair. The clinician's main difficulty when dealing with these types injuries is to re-establish natural esthetics traumatized tooth. There several therapeutic options f...

INTRODUCTION The reattachment of a dental fragment may be performed for treatment of traumatized anterior teeth, both in cases of simple coronal fracture (enamel and superficial dentin) and in those with complicated coronal fracture (deep dentin with pulp exposure). A major part of this procedure is the adhesion technique, which was described for the first time by Buonocore in 1955. This clinic...

Aim: The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of tooth extraction and air-rotor stripping therapy on tooth-size discrepancy, and to compare the changes between two groups. Materials and methods: The sample comprised the preand post-treatment dental models of 20 postadolescent class I borderline patients. First group was composed of dental models of 10 patients (mean age of 1...

AIM The objective of this paper is to show an alternative use of an Essix based appliance in the treatment of anterior single-tooth crossbite malocclusion in a patient with Nickel allergy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Anterior crossbite malocclusion of one or more teeth, without posterior crossbite association, is a relatively frequent condition both in the mixed and the permanent dentition. This ki...

AIM To measure pulp blood flow rates of clinically normal maxillary anterior teeth of healthy adults using ultrasound Doppler flowmetry (UDF). METHODOLOGY A total of 359 anterior teeth from 63 patients (mean age, 29.8 years; range, 22-52 years; 26 females and 36 males) were included. The data were collected according to tooth type (three groups: central incisors, lateral incisors and canines)...

The aim of this study was to quantify the specific distal displacement of the gingival zenith in the maxillary anterior dentition. Bilateral measurements, taken with a digital caliper in maxillary stone casts were recorded in six maxillary anterior teeth to evaluate distal displacement of the gingival zenith in relation to the long axis of the crowns. The gingival zenith was distally displaced ...

PURPOSE The present study aimed to evaluate the long-term stability of esthetic outcomes of soft tissue around maxillary anterior single-tooth implants after 10-to-12 years of loading. METHODS Patients who had been treated for single-tooth implants in the anterior maxilla between February 2000 and July 2002 were invited to participate in the study. All implants had been placed according to de...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess the associations between dental treatment in the early primary dentition and later treatment in the primary and permanent teeth. METHODS Delta Dental Plan of Michigan insurance claims data on 9,886 children who were born in 1990 and were covered by dental insurance from 1990-1998 were used. Risk ratios (RR), screening test measures of sensitivit...

statement of the problem: porcelain laminate veneer is an esthetic restoration used as an alternative to full veneer crowns and requires minimal tooth preparation. in restoration with porcelain laminate veneers, both the longevity of the laminate and conservation of the sound tooth structure are imperative. purpose: the present study aimed to investigate the shear bond strength of porcelain lam...
