Abstract

Maxillary anterior spacing is one of the most common aesthetic issues .It is atechnical challenge for clinicians. Treatment is mainly for esthetic and psychological reasons, Numerous materials are available for diastema closure. Case should be carefully analyzed with proper history for etiological factors and best possible treatment plan. This case report highlights an esthetic closing of a gap spacing between maxillay central incisor teeth with direct composite using putty impression to provide an acceptable esthetic outcome.

Abstract

Veneer is a layer of tooth colored material that is applied to a tooth to restore a localized or generalized defect and intrinsic discoloration. This case report describes closure of midline diastema using porcelain laminate veneers. Advances in the bonding between porcelain and tooth structure make this treatment a fantastic alternative to restore teeth with alteration in shape and position; severe discoloration and in cases where the aesthetic demand is high. The rationale for various choices in this treatment protocol is detailed with reference to the pertinent literature. Thus the clinical success depends on identification of cases, type of tooth preparation design, impression and bonding technique.

Abstract

Green dentistry or eco-friendly dentistry, emerging as a new concept towards sustainability. Dentistry has a great impact on the environment due to the large amount of waste generated by various dental procedures along with excessive use of water and electricity, which emphasizes to move towards ‘Green dentistry’. Hence, conserves money and time with the innovation of latest techniques and procedures and inculcating it in our daily practice. Eco-friendly dentistry if adopted will safeguard the environment and the human race from the harmful risks of rapid urbanization in developing countries. Thus, there is a need to emphasize the practice of eco-friendly dentistry in a developing country like India, with an approach to conserve resources and curb environment pollution.

Abstract

The common aesthetic complaint of patients is the presence of anterior spacing.It has a multifactorial etiology such as labial frenulum, microdontia, mesiodens, peg-shaped lateral incisors, agenesis, cysts, habits such as finger sucking, tongue thrusting, or lip sucking, dental malformations, genetics, proclinations, dental-skeletal discrepancies, and imperfect coalescence of interdental septum. Based on time, physical, psychological, and economical limitations treatment is planned. Direct composite resins give immediate esthetic changes in diastema cases. In this case report anterior spacing was closed with direct composite resin restoration in a single appointment and the patient was recalled after 6 months.

Abstract

A definitive diagnosis of vertical ischolar_main fracture (VRF) is often a challenging diagnosis for clinicians. This is because periapical radiographs are usually unable to detect the fracture line due to two dimensional image. This case of ischolar_main canal treated with apical periodontist was diagnosed with vertical ischolar_main fracture based on findings from clinical, radiographic, and cone-beam computerized tomographic (CBCT) examinations. CBCT aids in information regarding fracture line which cannot be detected in radiograph due to the direction of x-ray beam. Hence CBCT greatly helps in the diagnosis and management of VRF. However, the clinical and radiographic data is also much need hence CBCT can be used as an adjunct for cases with difficult diagnosis.

Abstract

Mandibular premolars are one of the most difficult teeth to treat endodontically as it shows high incidences of aberrant ischolar_main canal anatomy. Complete cleaning and shaping with copous irrigation is the key to successful endodontic treatment. Careful understanding of the internal anatomy and morphology of the ischolar_main canal system is an important task when performing cleaning and shaping procedures. This article describes mandibular second premolars with Vertucci Type II ischolar_main canal anatomy, treated successfully by conventional endodontic treatment.

Abstract

Elimination of microbes from ischolar_main canals and impeding of further reinfection is the objective behind an endodontic treatment. This is achieved by overall disinfection and shaping of canals which can then be filled using a three-dimensional filling with a fluid-tight seal. However, this process becomes complicated with the presence of additional ischolar_main canal systems. To achieve these goals, the clinician must have proper knowledge of regular anatomy and anatomic variants of ischolar_main canals. One such variant configuration in mandibular molars is the presence of a third canal in the mesial ischolar_main called middle-mesial canal. The purpose of the present article is to report successful non-surgical retreatment of a mandibular first molar with earlier missed Middle Mesial Canal.

Accessory Mesial Canal, Intermediate Mesial Canal, Mandibular Molar, Mid-Mesial Canal.
