Filter by:Tooth loss impacts taste abilities and food intake. Present study aims at pertaining the impact of teeth loss and the replacement by means of complete denture on taste and trigeminal abilities, and on food preferences, and taste appetence.
The interest in partial coverage retainers such as inlays and onlays have increased drastically because these restorations are able to provide a more conservative option requiring minimal tissue removal thus preserving healthy tooth structure to a maximum extent. If patient rejects an implant treatment and enough sound tooth structure is available it would be desirable to restore a missing tooth with Inlay-Retained Fixed Partial Denture instead of full coverage retained one . The use of all-ceramic materials for inlays and onlays in restorative dentistry is becoming more popular , the proper selection of restorative materials, careful preparation design and adequate adhesion between tooth/restorative material interfaces considered important factor to prevent failures . Zirconia was introduced into dentistry in the 1990s.The high initial strength and fracture toughness of zirconia results from a physical property of partially stabilized zirconia known as transformation toughening. On the other hand, its white color, similar to the color of natural teeth and its ability to transmit light makes it useful in aesthetically important areas . Inlay Fixed Partial Denture restoration may have increased the risk of fracture due to the relative small size of restorations compared to the complete coverage restoration. An unfavorable distribution of stresses between the ceramic inlay and tooth structure may result in marginal deterioration around the inlay or its failure. The direction of forces on the occlusal surface of Inlay Fixed Partial Denture may lead to the phenomenon of submargination, ceramic fracture, wear at interface and postoperative hypersensitivity which remain a problem that require further investigation. One of the most important factors in the success and longevity of a restoration is to have an accurate marginal fit. Ideally, the cemented restoration should precisely meet the finish line of the prepared tooth. In reality, clinical perfection is challenging to achieve and to verify.
In implant dentistry, platform switching is a method used to preserve alveolar bone levels around dental implants. The concept refers to using an implant with slopped shoulder neck of narrower diameter on implants of wider diameter, rather than placing abutments of similar diameter, referred to as platform matching.The aim of the study is to compare the effect of bone-level implants versus the conventional implant on oral soft tissues.
aim of study is to evaluate esthetic and biomechanical outcome of maxillary anterior single-tooth zirconia implant supported PEKK crowns compared to lithium disilicate crowns on PEKK abutments .
Patients with missing back teeth can be restored with an inlay retained bridge.The inlay retained bridge designs include inlay shaped, tub shaped or proximal box shaped.In this study a clinical evaluation will be commenced to evaluate two designs the inlay shaped and the tub shaped.The hypothesis of our trial is that the new design may show longer survival rate due to less stress applied on the restoration which allow the restoration to function for longer period as the inlay shaped bridge showed clinical problems during survice.
Tooth replacement is a significant issue in the World. Such replacement is considered important by patients to improve aesthetics, function and quality of life. Tooth replacement is therefore a significant issue. Resin-bonded bridges (RBBs) are conservative and cost-effective tooth replacement option that involves minimal tooth preparation and are secured in place with an adhesive cement by bonding to the outer enamel layer of the tooth. Clinical reports of these prostheses at the University of Hong Kong shows some of the highest success rate and greatest longevity in the dental literature. However, a problem with this type of prosthesis in that it still needs some tooth preparation to accommodate the framework thickness of the bridge. In some patients with tooth wear, this may mean cutting through the enamel crown down into dentine which will weaken the tooth. In light of the tooth preparation some patients will refuse this treatment, in particular patients with dental drill phobias. The aim of this study is to investigate RBBs with tooth preparation and with no tooth preparation for the replacement of single missing teeth in a randomized controlled trial. However, a significant consequence of a no preparation RBB will mean that after cementation the prosthesis will interfere with the patient's bite, making the bridge prosthesis stand high. This will take time for the patient's original occlusion to re-establish itself by the movement of the tooth supporting the bridge. Despite the success of "supra-occluding" restoration has been reported in some studies, currently neither no preparation nor supraoccluding dental bridges are the standard of care for general dental practitioners and have not been reported on as a clinical trial in the literature. Most symptoms reported for supraoccluding restorations were transient and are reversible. The findings of this research will have significant impact on the teaching and practice for clinical prosthodontics and patient care worldwide. Patients will have a dental prosthesis that requires no dental drilling, no local anaesthetic and will have a stronger tooth supporting the bridge that should have greater longevity. More patients, in particular phobic patients will therefore seek treatment for tooth replacement with this conservative treatment option.

In patients that are going to be subjected to a tooth extraction in the anterior maxillary (from canine to canine) does the position of the intact alveolar socket related to maxillary basal bone interferes with the rate of resorption and remodeling process of the alveolar ridge ?
