Cosmetic periodontal -surgery: Multiple gingival graft techniques (Part II)
Dr David L. Hoexter, USA
In today’s new information age, patients want a better quality of life. They want to keep their youthful, bright smile more than ever; keep their natural teeth; have their teeth feel and look better; and have a glowing smile. In recent years, dentistry appears to have concentrated almost exclusively on accomplishing this smile by focusing on the crown portion of the tooth. Restorative materials are being made available to help dentists create the crown’s natural colouring, whitening, and hues. The crown has been lengthened, squared, made ovoid, rounded and shortened. Reproduction of the crown’s original shape and colour has also been attempted...

Natural-looking dentures have always been a great challenge for the dental technician or pros-the-tist. With so many different brands of acrylic tooth systems on the market, it can be easy to overlook the basics of tooth shape and its relation to the physiology of the face.

Clinical application of a new flowable base material for -direct and indirect restorations
Prof Peet van der Vyver, South Africa
Recent developments in composite resin materials and bonding technology have made the routine use of these materials in posterior teeth possible.1 Direct posterior composite resin restorations are now predictable and durable, and in many instances their superior aesthetic and tooth-supporting properties make them the ideal treatment option when restoring the posterior dentition.2 The main shortcomings of composite resin materials are polymerisation shrinkage3 and polymerisation stress. Polymerisation stress can result in contraction forces on the cusps that can result in cuspal deformation,4 enamel cracks and ultimately decrease the fracture resistance of the cusps.5 ...

CLEARFIL ESTHETIC -CEMENT for crowns and bridgesAuthors_ Dr Harry Denissen & Thomas Reiter, the Netherlands
Dr Harry Denissen & Thomas Reiter, the Netherlands
In aesthetic dentistry, the shape and shade of a ceramic crown or bridge are extremely important. The dentist can create the mock-up for the crown/bridge by shaping the patient’s teeth or existing restorations using CLEARFIL composite resin. Addition, subtraction and aesthetic shaping can easily be done in the composite resin with diamond burs and discs. The shade of the restoration can be assessed by conventional visual or spectrophotometric means. Then, the ceramic restoration with the desired shape and shade has to be cemented

A dazzling white smile has been a symbol of beauty, health and vitality for hundreds of years. Discolouration, especially when the front teeth are affected, means a significant disturbance of -aesthetics and can decrease a patient’s self esteem. SDI’s latest in-office tooth-whitening product, Pola Office , is one of the fastest systems on the market. Its powerful hydrogen-peroxide-based gel and ease of use characteristics along with the clinical pro-cedure for whitening of non-vital teeth and the beautiful results of this minimally invasive technique are described in this article (cases I & II)...

A very close inspection of dental enamel -reveals its intricate fabric. Reproducing these fine structures and shade nuances seems a daunting task. Owing to the research and development efforts of dental composite manufacturers over the past few years, materials are now available that greatly facilitate the placement of restorations. Nevertheless, the appearance of composite resin restorations is often marred by a greyish shimmer. The following clinical case shows a way to avoid this problem and realise the natural-looking results envisioned by the patient.

The ability to create highly aesthetic direct composite resin restorations in a simplified manner has long been a goal for dentists. In the past, difficulties with direct composite resins have included shade matching, handling properties, premature setting under operatory lights, and overall ease of use. This article will describe a composite resin system (Amaris, VOCO) that has demonstrated desirable properties for use in both posterior teeth and especially in the aesthetic zone. Thereafter, a case report demonstrating the use of the material will be presented...
