The clinical work of fixed prosthodontics centres around 6 stages including pre-operative consult, soft tissue management, tooth preparations, impressions, temporisation and permanent crown cementation. In order to ensure longevity of an indirect restoration the correct type of cement needs to be chosen with ideal properties relating to the tooth preparation design and type of indirect restoration to be seated. With the influx of new materials available it is important to have a sound understanding of the properties and classifications of the different kinds available, in particular those found and accessible within the ADH student clinic. Cements are chosen due to ideal properties that will allow for optimal retention of the given restoration. Ideal properties of cement includes biocompatibility with the pulp and the surrounding soft tissues to avoid issues with sensitivities, allergies and pulpal aggravation. The cement must have clinically realistic working time and setting times to allow an operator to seat the crown before they harden thereby compromising the bond between tooth and crown. A low film thickness is too ensure the cement layer isn’t too thick and low solubility to water is desirable. Functionally acceptable compressive and tensile strengths in order to allow a restoration to adequately stand up to forces creating when chewing are important in the longevity of any fixed appliance. It is important that they are able to bond sufficiently with both tooths structure and the respective restoration, with different cements binding differently to different restorative materials. As the cement is an important component when considering the aesthetics of a piece, a larger variety of shades can be seen as in advantage of ... ... middle of paper ... ...as with other resin cements can be technique sensitive if the operator fails to correctly place and seat restoration in this time. (W. Jones, 2000) As no cement is currently available for all-inclusive use with all types of indirect restorations the choice of the correct cement remains an important consideration for any working clinician. An adequate knowledge and assessment of the type of preparation, previously used materials for example Eugenol containing, the type of restoration material and the clinical environment is needed prior to selection of a permanent cement. It is important for all operators to have a sound and up to date knowledge including the specific manufacturer instructions of all materials at their disposable in the clinic they are working in order to ensure the best survival of their work and thereby provide the best care for their patients.

Various factors have been attributed for the success of the implant and impression material and the technique is one of which is considered very crucial and important criteria in the success of fabrication and long lasting of the restoration. A dental impression is a negative imprint of an oral structure used to produce a positive replica of the structure for use as a permanent record or in the production of a dental restoration or prosthesis. Since the accuracy of the impression affects the accuracy of the definitive cast, an accurate impression is essential to fabricate prosthesis with good fit. An inaccurate impression may result in prosthesis misfit, which may lead to mechanical and/or biological complications.
Teeth #1, 16, and 17 are unerupted. There is a PFM on tooth #22. There were two 3-unit bridges: teeth #19 through 21 with a gold abutment on tooth #19, the pontic on tooth #20 and a PFM abutment on tooth #21, as well as on teeth #23 through 25, with PFM abutments on teeth #23 and 25, and the pontic on tooth #24. The amalgam restorations are as follows: an MO on tooth #2 and an MOD on teeth #3 and 5. There are cervical composites on teeth #3 and 4. Tooth #15 was missing the crown. Tooth #13 was a root tip. There are class two furcations on the lingual surface of teeth #1, 18, and 19, and a class one furcation on the buccal surface of tooth #18. There is 2mm of recession on the facial surfaces of teeth #4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 15, 29, 25, 26, and 27, as well as the lingual surfaces of teeth #3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 15, 21, 22, 26, 27. There is 4mm of recession on the facial surfaces of teeth #3 and 23, as well as the lingual surfaces of teeth #12, 23, and 25. There is 6mm of recession on the facial surface of tooth #22. Teeth #3, 4, 18, 26, and 27 had attrition. There was erosion on the lingual and incisal surfaces of teeth #8 through

...because the residual oxygen from the whitening gels created an oxygen-inhibited layer. It is recommended that clinicians delay the placement of bonded restorations until 1-3 weeks after treatment (Can-Karabulut et al 2011).
Dental composites are widely used for crown preparation and in-lays formation. These materials are similar to those used in direct fillings and are tooth-colored. Their strength and durability is not as high as porcelain or metal restorations and they are more
All-porcelain - Zirconia or aluminous materials are the most popular material choices for all-ceramic dental crowns. These materials provide a metal-free dental crown with a number of benefits. An aesthetic all-ceramic dental crown can be created with a thinner material because the accommodating metal core has been reduced or eliminated. The thinner option makes all-ceramic, or porcelain, dental crowns a treatment choice that is favored for areas with a limited amount of space. These crowns are more beautiful, but they do require care. These crowns are getting stronger all the time, and researchers are discovering new ways to use these crowns in high-impact areas of your
The existence of micro-leakage in dental restorations was first identified in scientific research in 19126. In a study done by Harper (1912), air pressure was used to penetrate the surface between an amalgam restoration and cavity preparation7. By applying pressure through a hole in the pulpal floor, Harper could quantify the amount of pressure needed to establish leakage through the emergence of bubbles from the margins of the restoration. Research has come a long way since Harper first recognized micro-leakage. Adaptations of new materials used when placing composite restorations like BondAband, a light-cured glass-ionomer cement has been shown to reduce marginal micro-leakage in posterior restorations8. A decrease in microleakage has also been shown with the use of an ...
Dental fillings are the most common variety of dental restorations. Fillings are made from an assortment of materials. The kind of filling you need depends on the condition of your tooth.
The placement of your crown applying small dental implants will need place correct in your dentist’s office. After the administration of an area anesthetic, your dentist may place the dental implant in to your mouth bone using specific and controlled techniques. A small incision will undoubtedly be manufactured in the gum line, and a specialized punch is going to be used to make a small hole in the jawbone where in actuality the implant is inserted. A particular wrench may successfully’screw’the implant in position, giving secure help for the
Since the dawn of humanity, humans have always had issues with their teeth. Dentists have always worked hard to fix these problems and assure optimum dental health and esthetics. The science of dentistry has many divisions. Prosthodontics is a branch of dentistry which studies the replacement of missing teeth and its related structures by the use of artificial appliances to restore and bring back the normal esthetic and masticatory functions. Prosthodontics also has many subdivisions which are: fixed, removable and maxillofacial Prosthodontics. Removable Prosthodontics is divided into complete denture Prosthodontics dealing with completely edentulous patients who lost all their natural teeth and partial denture Prosthodontics dealing with partially
The contraction moulding method can be used to process an acrylic denture base. In this method, bite blocks are fabricated in the lab and sent to the clinic for patient trial. These are then received from the clinic and teeth are mounted onto the bite blocks. The wax is eliminated and teeth are pressurized and attached onto a gypsum mould. (McCabe and Walls. 2008.) Sodium alginate is applied onto the mould to act as a separator to prevent any monomer from the acrylic base seeping into the base and the mould. Acrylic PMMA is applied onto the mould and either heat-cured or auto-polymerized. Both of these curing methods form the...
Cosmetic dentistry is a specialized field that deals with improving the aesthetics of teeth and the human face. The teeth are an important part of human beauty. Even minor damage to the teeth, such as breakage or loss can drastically alter the overall appearance of the face. This is where cosmetic dentistry comes in to restore beauty. Cosmetic dentistry has become a highly specialized branch due to various advancements in surgical procedures and diagnostic techniques. Several new materials have also been discovered. These materials are very close to the natural enamel and bone from which teeth are made and are virtually indistinguishable. Cosmetic dentistry is an option in conditions such as teeth loss, gaps between teeth, cracked or chipped teeth, cavities and dental
