noticed that her maxillary central incisors were fractured due to a previous accident on her bike. Being it was a new patient with no recorded history, the incident should be recorded and dated with as many details and findings as possible. Due to her age and the type of accident, it is a very believable story especially since this was the first visit to the office and there were no other incidents recorded.

The choice of restorative material is considered to be one of the most important factors for the success and reliability of any restorative system. Composite resin gained popularity among clinicians due to its ease of handling, excellent esthetic and mechanical properties, and reported ability to reinforce weakened dental structure. (73) However, when a cavity preparation exceeds the recommended limits for the direct application of composite resins, indirect total- or partial-coverage restorations
Clinical Crown Lengthening Using Soft Tissue Diode Laser: A Case Series Abstract: To aid in retention of prostheses and aesthetic purposes crown lengthening procedures are performed to by allowing placement of restorative margins and proper tooth preparation. Healthy periodontium is a key to a successful prostheses. Different treatment modalities are available for crown lengthening, eg, scalpel gingivectomy, apically displaced flap, ostectomy and lasers. This case series describes crown lengthening
My first experience with a dental incident was when my twin fractured her maxillary central incisor by being popped in the mouth with a pole vaulting bar.

Question 1: Projections required The projections required for this emergency patient would be as follows: For the cervical spine a horizontal beam lateral (if this projection was unsuccessful in providing a diagnostic image then a Swimmers lateral would be used) and an AP C3-7 view (with doctors permission to pull the patients shoulders down). For the pelvis an AP pelvis projection would be sufficient to analyse if there is any damage to the pelvis. If any abnormalities are detected, further
The purpose of this research is to critically analyze the various components of forensic anthropology and odontology in order to obtain an accurate understanding of the overall reliability of these disciplines. Research obtained from various sources including, textbook, peer reviewed articles and the National Academy of Sciences Report are examined in an attempt to explain how the field of forensic odontology, more specifically the discipline of bite mark analysis is not considered to be a reliable
