Glass polyalkenoate systems (glass-ionomer cements) have remarkable characteristics that make them valuable restorative-dental-repair materials. They are hydrophilic, biocompatible, tooth-colored, and fluoride ion-containing and.
INTRODUCTION Approaches to the management of dental caries have changed dramatically in the past century, shifting from the traditional, mostly restorative treatment approach.
INTRODUCTION It’s all over the news: Dentists are treating more cracked teeth since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic—sometimes at twice the.
AESTHETIC DILEMMA OF THE GINGIVAL MARGIN The data is clear: Porcelain and composite resin are both biocompatible at the gingival margin and well-tolerated.1-3.
INTRODUCTION According to Dr. Gordon Christensen, direct Class II composite restorations with B-L widths larger than 25% of the intercuspal distance will last,.
INTRODUCTION In these times, practicing efficiently is critical. We need the tools necessary to help create beautiful posterior composites quickly, resulting in minimal.
INTRODUCTION Restorations in the posterior are usually performed because of tooth decay, tooth fractures, restoration damage, and filling replacement. They are probably one.
Partial-coverage, supragingival bonded onlays are restorations that are more minimally invasive and healthier for the tooth and patient than traditional full crowns. Research.
INTRODUCTION The delivery of 38% silver diammine fluoride (SDF) solution to caries lesions on occlusal and non-contacting axial tooth surfaces is straightforward. However,.
Anodontia, the hereditary absence of primary or permanent teeth, is present in approximately 2% of the population and most commonly affects maxillary lateral.
