Filter by:This randomized controlled trial is to clinically assess and compare impression quality of polyvinylsiloxane impression material using one step (experimental) and two step (control) impression techniques and its effect on marginal fit of prosthesis and proximal contact of prosthesis.
Enamel abrasion and stain removal efficacy of two whitening toothpastes
Aim of the Study: This study will compare between injectable flowable composite (Beautifil flow plus x) and high viscosity glass ionomer (Equia Fil) by ART caries preventive protocol in high caries risk patients receiving chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy
Aim of this study will be conducted to compare the shade matching and clinical performance of shade blocker versus chameleon effect of two single-shade of universal resin composite in class IV restorations over 1 year evaluation period
Visual shade matching is the most common method, in which a color standard from a commercially available dental shade guide is compared to and matched with the target tooth. However, several factors can contribute to perception errors including: different lighting variables, multiple shade systems available in the market with lack of standardization in color systems and corresponding porcelain systems, individual human variables in color perception and lack of understanding of color science. Therefore, in order to eliminate the uncontrolled variables during the color matching process, instrumental methods have been developed. Spectrophotometric measurement methods employing computer calculations, based on color science and theories, allow quantitative evaluation which is objective and appears to be more accurate. However, extremely high costs, relatively low performance with respect to agreements of the computer-aided devices, and edge loss error make it less acceptable. One of the most powerful tools in communicating with both patients and dental ceramists is digital photography. Hence, this study is designed to explore the possibilities of a novel approach to shade management (eLABor_aid) utilizing a photocolorimetric (PCM) method and subsequent shade formulation without the use of stock shade guides in comparison to well-known visual and instrumental methods. The aim of the study is to evaluate the accuracy of digital photography combined with shade analyzing software (eLAB) in optimizing shade matching when compared to conventional and instrumental methods of shade selection. A Null Hypothesis is suggested where no significant difference regarding shade selection between eLAB protocol, conventional and instrumental methods will be found.
Although black staining is considered a drawback that is clinically observed following SDF application and is the main primary barrier for its use clinically . Child's behaviour and cooperation cannot be controlled at a young age or in special health care needs cases. Therefore, the best treatment modality will always be a simple, fast and painless procedure and SDF is the best solution for those cases. Discolouration caused researchers to search for a solution that will reduce or prevent discolouration using KI and GSH. A systematic review was conducted in-vitro, and it showed the use of SDF with KI had reduced stains markedly, potential advantages of minimal staining might be advantageous, along a short period. However, studies with long-term follow-up would be required to provide evidence-based guidelines for using SDF and KI formulations in routine clinical practice
The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival of laminate veneers constructed using a recent polymer-infiltrated ceramic network material following the aesthetic pre-evaluative temporary (APT) technique of tooth preparation in comparison to traditional technique.
In six consecutive patients planned to receive combined orthodontic-orthognathic surgery natural tooth color on 8 incisors was measured before initiation of the combined treatment (Time Point 1- baseline) and after its completion (Time Point 2- after intervention). The statistical interpretation of the results showed that tooth color change in the surgical group was higher in comparison to control groups. Control group I included non treatment subjects, while control group II included standard orthodontic treatment subjects. The results indicated that orthognathic surgery may affect natural tooth color but to small degree, as the color differences were just bellow the threshold value of 3.7 ΔΕ units. Under this value a color change cannot be easily detected by a human eye.
The present study is aimed to evaluation of shade for clinical color change of discolored teeth treated by bleaching vs laminate veneers.
Restoration of anterior teeth using conservative approach allows clinicians to provide porcelain laminate veneers with excellent esthetics without extensive tooth structure removal. laminate veneers need the use of etch-able ceramics like glass ceramics (E.max) and hybrid ceramics (Lava Ultimate). The aim of this study is to compare both e.max and lava ultimate veneers clinically.
