diastema/resin

The etched-metal, resin-bonded fixed partial denture has evolved rapidly from its origination as an extracoronal splint. Technologic advancements in both resin chemistry and retentive surface etching techniques have markedly improved the quality of the prosthesis. Today, resin-bonded fixed partial

The ultimate goal when closing dental diastemas is to establish an adequate interproximal contact, and to achieve an esthetic emergence profile of the respective teeth, with the interdental papilla filling the space underneath the contact area. However, the use of wedges for temporary tooth

The use of direct composite resin for diastema closure has technique advantages, including that the restorative procedure can be carried out in one appointment at a reasonable cost and without the removal of sound tooth structure. The use of a rubber dam for closing diastemas with composite resin is

A dental arch with diastemata and missing lateral incisors represents a challenge because of discrepancies in tooth size. If an implant-supported prosthesis is not possible or not selected as a treatment option, a modified resin-bonded fixed partial denture may be a treatment option to eliminate the

The dental morphology usually determines the shape and volume of the interdental space, which must be filled by a dense connective tissue covered by oral epithelium to achieve pleasant esthetics. When composite resin restorations are placed to solve esthetic problems, the restorative procedure must

METHODS A fifty-two-year old female patient visited our dental hospital due to periodontal disease and aesthetic complaint by median diastema. A resin bonded retainer for the upper anterior teeth was placed after periodontal treatment and minor tooth movement. Median diastema and periodontal disease

UNASSIGNED This aim of this study is to evaluate and to compare the clinical performances of two nanohybrid composite resin systems used for diastema closure and tooth reshaping at 4 years. UNASSIGNED Twenty-three patients with midline or multidiastema problem were enrolled in this study. Nanohybrid

The replacement of maxillary central incisor teeth with the maintenance of a midline diastema can create considerable problems for the restorative dental surgeon. This case report illustrates the treatment of such a case using a fixed-fixed resin-retained bridge with a modified palatal connector.

Median diastema in twenty patients aged 17-30 years old were restored randomly with two light cured composite resins. The restoration were assessed and compared after one year for colour changing, gingival inflammation, surface chipping and lost of restorative materials. There have no difference in

OBJECTIVE To assess the esthetic effectiveness of four illusion techniques applied to a composite resin veneer for diastema closure between maxillary central incisors. METHODS An acrylic model with six natural maxillary anterior teeth was fabricated with a 2-mm diastema between the central incisors.

The present article describes the resin infiltration technique to address white spots lesions presented on anterior and premolar teeth of a young patient after orthodontic treatment and the digital workflow for planning a diastema closure on the maxillary anterior teeth using facial photographs, an

This retrospective study evaluated the survival rate of anterior direct resin based composite (RBC) build-ups in vital teeth made of microhybrid and nanofill RBC materials and the influence of bruxism, beverage consumption and smoking on the long-term performance of restorations. Patients receiving

Due to aesthetic and periodontal factors, patients often seek treatment to close diastemata. This condition may be eliminated by either direct or indirect techniques. Indirect techniques generally require multiple visits to facilitate the placement of laminate, crown, or bridge restorations, and

A method for predictably altering anterior esthetics with composite resins is presented. The diagnostic wax-up is the key element. It is used to make a patient presentation cast and to customize resin forms. The resin forms are used to reproduce the predicted tooth form in the mouth quickly and
