Tooth Tissue

Restoration of decayed teeth with tooth-colored materials that can be bonded to tooth tissue has been a highly desirable property in restorative dentistry for many years. Advantages of such an adhesive restorative technique over conventional techniques using non-adhesive metal-based restoratives include improved restoration retention with minimal sacrifice of sound tooth tissue for retention purposes, superior adaptation and sealing of the restoration margins in prevention of caries recurrence, improved stress distribution across the tooth-restoration interface throughout the whole tooth, and even reinforcement of weakened tooth structures. The dental adhesive technology is rapidly changing. An efficient resin bond to enamel has already long been achieved. Its bonding mechanism has been fully elucidated and has proven to be a durable and reliable clinical treatment. However, bonding to dentin represents a greater challenge. After the failures of a dentin acid-etch technique in imitation of the enamel phosphoric-acid-etch technique and a bonding procedure based on chemical adhesion, modern dentin adhesives are currently believed to bond to dentin by a micromechanical hybridization process. This process is developed by an initial demineralization of the dentin surface layer with acid etchants exposing a collagen fibril arrangement with interfibrillar microporosities that subsequently become impregnated by low-viscosity monomers. Although the development of such a hybridization process has well been documented in the literature, questions remain with respect to parameters of-primary importance to adhesive efficacy.

Keeping in mind the final result is the basis of any type of treatment, especially those in which the morphology, size and proportion of the anterior teeth will be changed. This is where a good treatment plan based on a diagnostic wax-up tested with a mock-up and approved by the patient becomes crucial. This case report aims to exemplify how to transfer the diagnostic information to the patient’s mouth and direct it not only to the restorative dentistry, but also to the surgeon when performing the crown length. Diagnostic waxing was performed by the laboratory technician, obeying anterior posterior incisal and gingival criteria and curvatures, which were transported to an aesthetic guide through mock up to mark the surgical points. Then, surgery to increase the clinical crown with bone access and after healing, direct venners in composite resin also guided by waxing. In conclusion, a workflow can be established using the wax-up / mock-up that serves as a guide for the periodontist in the approach to surgical lengthening of the crown and for the rehabilitator who uses it to produce changes in the shape of dental dimensions .

Hereditary Condition

The personality of an individual is often judged by his looks. A beautiful smile brings immense pleasure, not only to the viewer but also to the wearer of the smile. Time and again in dentistry, esthetics has been the prime area of focus. Prosthodontic rehabilitation also involves esthetics as its key factor, which is challenging especially in patients with congenital diseases or syndromes. Ectodermal dysplasia is one such hereditary condition associated with failure of the development of ectoderm in the embryonic stage and can cause multiple abnormalities. The ectodermal structures like skin, nails, hair, sweat glands, and teeth are particularly affected. The management of ectodermal dysplasia is quite complex and multidisciplinary owing to the abnormal morphology in craniofacial structures, a wide array of dentofacial defects, and age of the affected individuals, as most of them are very young when they report for or are evaluated for treatment. The deciduous as well as the permanent dentition in these patients may present with anodontia, hypodontia or oligodontia or combination of these. Hypodontia is one of the most common intraoral finding among these scenarios. Therefore, the affected patients obviously require absolute attention towards prosthodontic treatments throughout their developmental years till their adulthood. This report presents a case of an adult diagnosed with having ectodermal dysplasia with hypodontia. By appropriate modification and customization, the prosthodontic management was meticulously planned for the young patient which involved a full mouth rehabilitation with tooth supported fixed prosthesis in the maxillary and mandibular arch. The devised treatment plan had a key impact on the psychological, the masticatory function, speech and facial esthetics of the patient.
