This case study describes the esthetic and functional reconstruction of a fractured maxillary central incisor. Due to the requirement for additional retention, treatment was performed using the homogenous technique of biological restoration associated with cementation of posts made from human dentin (biopins). This type of treatment is a new alternative to conventional techniques and favors the dental esthetic and function, as well as biocompatibility, and is an inexpensive procedure.

Objectives: To evaluate the success of porcelain metal ceramic crown andporcelain veneer in endodontically treated maxillary central incisor having discoloration. StudyDesign: Expermintal study. Setting: Akhtar Saeed Dental Hospital, Bahria Town, Lahore andde’Montmorency College of Dentistry, Lahore. Period: 1st January 2016 to 30th June 2016.Patients and Methods: This study includes 42 patients. All the patients had ages between35-40 years and either gender. These patients had discolored endodontically treated uppercentral incisor. The patients were randomly divided into two groups to receive either the metalceramic crown or the porcelain veneer. The restorations were given to the patients according tothe following standard protocols. Follow-up examination was determined as set format of study.The results were compiled at the expiry of twelve months. Results: There were 27 femalesand 15 males. The result is obtained 1.1629 which is statistically not significant at p<0.05.Conclusion: Being conservative in tooth reduction, veneer should be preferred while maskingdiscoloration of single anterior tooth instead of full coverage metal ceramic crown.

Quantitative or qualitative defect in the synthesis of enamel is termed as enamel hypoplasia, clinically seen as depressions or grooves on the surface due to layer reduction. Pathognomonic features include symmetric manner and ring like defects. Early detection of theses lesions would prevent further breakdown in enamel and thus providing better outcome in terms of esthetics and function. The complexity of the treatment procedures to be reduced before the lesions multiply and attain severity, thereby reducing the morbidity associated with the disease. In this scientific article, we highlight a clinical condition of enamel hypopaisa in relation to left maxillary central incisor 21 in a 9 year old female. The condition was managed in conservative manner of tooth colored restoraion thereby restoring esthetics and function.

Background. Fracture by trauma is one of the most common types of dental injury in the permanent dentition among children and teenagers.Aim. The aim of this study was to report the treatment performed to an atypical dental trauma case in a maxillary central incisor of a young patient by means of reattachment of the tooth fragment.Case Description. A 12-year-old male patient suffered a vertical crown fracture to the maxillary right central incisor. After clinical and radiographic examinations, a conservative restorative treatment which consisted in the reattachment of the tooth fragment with flow resin was performed in order to preserve the dental element and to obtain maximum aesthetics.Conclusion. The reattachment of fractured fragment is a fast and easy technique that can be used successfully as an option to restore dental element which suffered trauma.Clinical Significance. This technique restores the aesthetics and function of the dental element with minimal discomfort to the patient.

Abstract Objective: To determine the location of center of resistance and the relationship between height of retraction force on power arm (power-arm length) and movement of anterior teeth (degree of rotation) during sliding mechanics retraction. Materials and Methods: Three human subjects with maxillary protrusion were selected for this study. Initial tooth displacements of maxillary right central incisor under sliding mechanics with various heights of retraction forces were measured in vivo using a two-point three-dimensional displacement magnetic sensor device. By calculating the angle of rotation from the displacements measured, the location of the center of resistance was determined. Results: The results suggested that different heights of retraction forces could affect the direction of anterior tooth movement. The higher the retraction force was applied, the lower the degree of rotation (crown-lingual tipping) would be. The tooth rotation was in the opposite direction (from crown-lingual to crown-labial) if the height of the force was raised above the level of the center of resistance. Conclusion: The location of the center of resistance of the maxillary central incisor was approximately 0.77 of the root length from the apex. During anterior tooth retraction with sliding mechanics, controlled crown-lingual tipping, bodily translation movement, and controlled crown-labial movement could be achieved by attaching a power-arm length that was lower, equivalent, or higher than the level of the center of resistance, respectively. The power-arm length could be the most easily modifiable clinical factor in determining the direction of anterior tooth movement during retraction with sliding mechanics.

Aim: This observational study investigated the correlation of nail form to tooth form.Materials and Methods: Measurements of the length and width of left maxillary central incisor and the nail of the left hand’s forefinger of 110 subjects were taken with the help of a calibrated manual vernier caliper. The information obtained was statistically analyzed using Pearson’s correlation test.Results: A positive correlation existed between incisor length and nail length (P = 0.001), and incisor width and nail width (P = 0.001). Consistent relationships were also observed between these measurements.Conclusion: A definite correlation exists between nail form and anterior tooth form. It can be inferred that nail form can be considered amongst other parameters in determining the anterior tooth form.

Maxillary central incisor is the most commonly affected tooth during trauma followed by maxillary lateral incisor and mandibular incisors. Trauma to the anterior tooth requires urgent care because of the essentiality of preserving the natural tooth. When a complicated crown a fracture takes place, it necessitates endodontic treatment and restoration of a fractured crown segment with post in the canal. This case report describes a patient with a broken central incisor and treated with a Richmond crown.

SUMMARY The use of the direct fiber-reinforced fixed dental prosthesis (FDP) restorative technique presented in this article will result in an ideal restoration considering both esthetics and function in a single appointment. Although indirect techniques are available and may be used, they are time-consuming, resulting in higher cost; therefore, a simplified approach combining a prebonded fiber-reinforced mesh with a sculptable micro-hybrid composite will deliver an acceptable esthetic result with proper function.

Karpophoros, fruit-bearing, is an epithet easily considered as “literary”, i.e., a poetic name with little or no relation to cult. The epigraphic sources, however, clearly show us that gods thus named were offered divine worship. The epithet is found in connection with several deities. Goddesses of agriculture, such as Demeter, and Ge, the Earth, naturally carry this name, but so do Zeus, Dionysos and a goddess known as “The Aiolian”, who was sometimes associated with Agrippina. This paper surveys deities known as karpophoroi and examines what their cult entailed. Its focus is, however, on a brief Acropolis inscription, IG II2 4758, where Ge is honoured as Karpophoros, in accordance with an oracle. The case study provides insights into the Attic cult of Ge, the epithet Karpophoros, as well as the use and function of epithets within Greek dedicatory language.

The present report follows the case of a young boy with solitary median maxillary central incisor (SMMCI) syndrome between the ages of 4 and 7 years. This condition is characterized by the presence of one single maxillary central incisor in the midline instead of two central incisors. No other developmental abnormalities involving growth or brain function were noted at, or subsequent, to birth. This report includes a discussion of the aetiology of SMMCI syndrome and its association with birth defects such as holoprosencephaly (HPE), CHARGE and VACTERL, as well as a discussion of the long-term prognosis and associated dental and medical issues for this particular patient
