Crown fractures are one the most common reasons of these aesthetic complaints especially in young patients. Creating a conservative as well as powerful restoration against destructive occlusal forces while emulating similar outlook to natural dental tissues is the main objective of treatment of such cases. Direct composite resin restorations are one of the best possible treatment options for the anterior crown fractures. As the dental materials and techniques develop, the clinicians start to learn the physical and optical properties of these materials and use them with proper techniques to create more natural alike as well as

 

  Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Dentistry & Oral Health Dentin Dysplasia Type I-Diagnosis and Treatment: Case Report- Juniper Publishers Authored by  Carmem Dolores Vilarinho Soares de Moura Abstract This paper aims to report the case of a child with dentin dysplasia type I. An 8 year old female child was referred to the Children's Dental Clinic of the Universidade Federal do Piauf with an aesthetic complaint caused by missing teeth. Four permanent first molars, premolar upper right and upper left permanent canine were present. There was satisfactory oral hygiene and no dental diseases. Anamnesis and laboratory tests did not detect any systemic disorders. Evaluations of initial panoramic radiographs and computed tomography showed permanent teeth with apparently normal crowns, with short and conical roots and obliteration of the pulp chamber, confirming the diagnostic hypothesis of Dentin Dysplasia type I. Root Dentin Dysplasia or Dentin Dysplasia type I is a rare h

To the best of our knowledge; no such study is investigated the relationship between skeletal maturity and the dental development in Saudi population. Objective and aim: The aim of the present study is to compare the cervical vertebra maturation (CVM) stages method and dental maturity using tooth calcification stages. Methods: The current study comprised of 405 subjects selected from Orthodontic patients of Saudi origin coming to clinics of the specialized dental centers in western region of Sau

Methods: 60pcs. Stainless steel specimens, which are 6 mm crown length 2mm finish lines width and 60 degree axial wall inclination angle were prepared. These specimens were prepared 3 different marginal finish lines as shoulder finish line (SHO), chamfer finish line (CHA), bevel finish line (BEV). 30 NON-HIP zirconia copings with Cerec in Lab System, and 30 HIP zirconia copings with DCS Precedent System were fabricated
