Abstract

Fluorosis staining is commonly considered an esthetic problem because of the psychological impact ofunesthetic maxillary anterior teeth. Numerous treatment approaches have been proposed, ranging frombleaching to enamel reduction to restorative techniques. The aim of this study was to report the clinical caseof a female patient of 18 years with moderate fluorosis with midline diastema, whose smile was reestablishedby the application of 5%sodium hypochlorite bleaching agent after cleaning and enamel etching with 37%phosphoric acid followed by direct composite veneering. This technique showed excellent results and thepatient was satisfied. This technique is simple,low cost,painless, fast and easy to perform, in addition topreserving the dental structure. Treatment showed immediate and permanent results.

Abstract

Composite resin restoration on posterior teeth through the incremental technique is, generally, a timeconsumingprocedure with the risk of contamination between the layers. Therefore, there is a need tofacilitate the work of dental professionals and achieve aesthetic and functional results such as the occlusalstamp technique. “Stamp technique” is a technique used for restoring class I and class II restorations withaccurate occlusal topography. It was introduced mainly to restore Class I cavities and erosively damagedteeth. A stamping technique is an easy-to-follow procedure to recreate accurate occlusal topography for adirect composite resin restoration effectively and efficiently with less time needed for finishing and polishingof the restoration. This technique consists of fabricating an occlusal matrix that mimics the natural occlusalanatomy of posterior teeth,before cavity preparation takes place. This matrix is then pressed against thefinal composite increment before curing takes place and is suitable in cases where caries is evident duringthe clinical examination or radiographically within tact marginal ridges and ideal occlusal anatomy. Forovercoming the main disadvantage of polymerization shrinkage seen in composite restorations, it has [tobe done using incremental layer technique. Stamp is used in the final layer to replicate the natural anatomyof the occlusal surface. A precise tooth-like restoration having an accurate functional occlusion is obtainedwhen the stamp technique is performed. This technique also can be utilized for class II cavity restorationswhere the marginal ridge is intact. This case report describes simple class I composite restoration usingstamp technique. The main objective is to replicate occlusal anatomy by making a copy of the originalunprepared tooth structure to get a perfect anatomy in a few minutes. This review walks through manytechniques utilized for simulating posterior occlusal anatomy.

Abstract

Dentists and dental office personnel are exposed to a wide range of potential pathogens and have highchances of infection transmission not only in the clinic, but also in the laboratory. A proper sterilizationand disinfection protocol must be followed. This shall prevent cross-contamination of disease among thedental health care providers. Prosthodontics is a branch in dentistry which includes manipulation of variousmaterials, equipment, their use and instrumentation for rehabilitation of patients. Patients in the geriatricgroup are of special importance in this branch. A strict protocol for infection control is mandatory to combatany kind of transmission and cross-contamination between the dental office personnel and patient and viceversa.This article shall discuss the various modalities of sterilization and disinfection followed from aprosthodontist’s point of view, in the clinic and the laboratory also.

Abstract

Biodentin is a bioactive cement with dentin-like mechanical properties, which can be used as a dentinesubstitute for both crown and root. It also helps in the remineralization of dentine along with maintenanceof pulp vitality. This advocated to be used in various clinical applications, such as root perforations,apexification, resorptions, retrograde fillings, pulp capping procedures, and dentine replacement. Indirectlaboratory-processed composite systems present an esthetic alternative for intracoronal posterior restorationsand provide esthetic results that may also reinforce tooth structure. Additional clinical benefits include exactmarginal integrity, wear resistance similar to enamel, wear compatibility with opposing natural dentition,optimal esthetics, ideal proximal contacts, and excellent anatomic morphology.

Abstract

Disinfection & Sterilization if done properly, it can prevent transmission of many diseases among thedoctors, healthcare personnel and patients. The risk of infection is high in the dental office because the oralcavity is rich in aerobic, anaerobic bacterial flora and many viral pathogens. The method of disinfection andsterilization depends on the use of the medical devices: Critical instruments (pierce the tissue) should besterilized, Semi critical instruments (come in contact with the mucosa) should be sterilized & Least criticalinstruments (touch the Surfaces during treatment) & should be disinfected. Cleaning should be done byhigh-level disinfection and sterilization. Current guidelines of disinfection and sterilization must be strictlyfollowed by doctors, healthcare personnel.

Abstract

Gingival recession may not only result in aesthetically unacceptable results but also be associated withincreased susceptibility to root caries and dentinal hypersensitivity. A novel technique for recessioncoverage by using a modified semilunar advanced flap technique with connective tissue graft is described.The technique involves placing of connective tissue graft underneath a semilunar incision which is madeparallel to the free gingival margin of the facial tissue and its advancement over the denuded root. Thistechnique has the advantage over conventional semilunar flap, in that benefit of connective tissue graft iscombined for improved prognosis

Abstract

Corticosteroids are chemically similar to endogenous cortisol and mostly prescribed for their antiinflammatoryand immunosuppressive properties, which are due to the inhibition of phospholipase A2activity. These drugs are extensively used in the treatment of a plethora of autoimmune disorders suchas rheumatoid arthritis, various breathing disorders and also disorders of connective tissue. In the fieldof dentistry these drugs are prescribed in most of the mucocutaneous disorders such as they are mostlyused in inflammatory diseases such as oral lichen planus, pemphigus, and oral stomatitis to alleviate postoperativediscomfort and swelling. These drugs can be administered systemically,topically or asinhalationaltherapy. Evidence concludes that short term corticosteroids possess antiresorptive properties and its localapplication shows a favourable effect on the periodontal ligament, but when administered systemically fora long period could lead to periodontal diseases as it has shown to increase attachment with alveolar boneand destruction of transseptalfibers. Oral manifestations are dependent on duration,dose and frequency ofuse. It is commonly associated withmoniliasis, dental caries,altered taste sensation, ulceration of the tongue,buccal mucosa, and gingiva due to xerostomia,gingival inflammation, periodontal inflammation,and immunesuppression. They can either cause dramatic improvement or dramatic adverse reactions which can lead toa considerable increase in the distributionof periodontal disorders. In patients on long-term corticosteroidtherapy, oral health is generally not given importance during management. Hence this review explains aboutvarious effects of different types of corticosteroids on periodontium used in dentistry.

Abstract

By examining firm pressure with two metal instruments on teeth, the extent of vertical and horizontaldisplacement considered as tooth mobility, which is due to either periodontal disease or trauma. Nowadaysteeth mobility is a common problem in dental scenarios, which results inocclusal problems, Dietaryproblems, and disturbances in mastication, aesthetic problem and worsening life quality. The treatment oftooth mobility is based on its etiology; it may be surgical or non-surgical. Surgically by Periodontal surgery,non-surgically by occlusal adjustment and splinting. Sometimes the Occlusal adjustment can be done by thesurgical process. In the article, we discuss the cause of tooth mobility, relation between tooth mobility andocclusion including indication, contraindication and principles of tooth splinting. Our ultimate goal is torestore mastication function, good aesthetic, to improve patient comfort and good oral functions by variousperiodontal treatments for the management of mobile teeth.
