Pink tooth of Mummery is typically found after trauma. However, this case report describes an unusual occurrence of pink tooth in a 67-year-old Caucasian male after fixed partial denture (FPD) tooth preparation. Pink tooth in this case may be due to one or more factors: tooth reduction and heat generation during tooth preparation; heat generation during polymerization of provisional material; and hyperocclusion of a provisional FPD. This case highlights the importance of choosing the appropriate materials and techniques to avoid pulpal complications after dental prosthesis work.

Resumo A cerâmica odontológica tem sofrido modificações na composição visando melhorar sua resistência em resistir às forças mastigatórias fisiológicas na região posterior da boca. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o comportamento clínico de próteses parciais fixas posteriores (PPFs) em zircônia a partir de estudos clínicos prospectivos de 3 anos ou mais. Realizou-se revisão sistemática da literatura por meio de pesquisa na base de dados PubMed em busca de publicações em inglês entre os anos de 2004 e 2014 com os seguintes descritores e suas combinações: 'fixed partial denture' OR 'dental prosthesis' OR 'dental porcelain' OR 'FPD' AND 'zirconia'. A busca resultou em 282 artigos, 20 foram lidos na íntegra e então oito selecionados. Os sistemas de zircônia utilizados foram Lava (3M ESPE), Cercon (DeguDent) e Denzir (Cad.esthetics) com cimentação variando entre resinosa, com ionômero de vidro e fosfato de zinco. A quantidade total de pacientes examinados foi de 199, com 241 próteses instaladas, avaliados em um período de 3 a 7 anos. Destas, oito apresentaram fratura da infraestrutura em zircônia, 41 sofreram fratura apenas da cerâmica de recobrimento e 17 tiveram perda de retenção sem fratura; 17 dentes pilares sofreram cárie secundária, três fraturaram e nove necessitaram de tratamento endodôntico. A taxa de sobrevida das PPFs variou de 73,9% a 100%. Concluiu-se que a zircônia está apta a ser utilizada na região posterior, porém estudos são necessários para averiguar as causas das lascas do revestimento. Mediante as falhas na cimentação, recomenda-se seguir rigorosamente as instruções do fabricante e atentar para um preparo dental adequado.

Dentistry is an ever evolving science. With the advancements in the field of bonding techniques and also in the tooth preparation methods, the use of Resin bonded fixed dental prostheses is becoming a treatment of choice for small posterior edentulous spans.

Passive fit of a long-span screw-retained implant prosthesis is an important criteria for the success of the restoration. This article describes a technique for fabricating a ceramometal implant fixed dental prosthesis (FDP) for a long-span partially edentulous situation by altering the conventional screw-retained design. The possibility of a passive fit is maximized by intraoral luting of the cast frame to milled abutments, and the potential framework distortion during fabrication is compensated to a major extent. Retrievability is ensured by screw retention of the prosthesis to the implants. Compared with conventional porcelain fused to metal screw-retained FDP, this prosthesis is relatively inexpensive to fabricate.

ABSTRACTAn abutment for a fixed partial denture may not contain enough tooth structure, such that the abutment does not provide an adequate ‘ferrule effect’. A crown or bridge dental prosthesis that is cemented onto such an abutment/s may undergo biomechanical failure. Here, the tooth, core, and post complex, on which the crown is cemented, may fracture off from the abutment, causing the crown to separate from the abutment, while the cement that bonds the crown to the tooth, core, and post complex remains intact, such that the tooth, core, and post complex remains inside the crown when the crown separates from the abutment. This article reviews the dentistry literature on the ferrule effect, and presents alternative definitions for terms such as ferrule, the ferrule effect, and the ferrule tooth structure. The article also explains how the use of a surgical operating microscope, or high magnification binocular surgical loupes of ×6-8, or greater magnification improve the ability of a dentist to assess how much ferrule tooth structure an abutment contains, compared to the use of unaided vision.

This case report details a 65-year-old male patient who underwent mandibular resection and radiotherapy as treatment for squamous cell carcinoma of the right mandible. The patient was rehabilitated with an implant-supported fixed partial denture and a maxillary occlusal ramp. The patient has been wearing his prosthesis for 2 years with no complaints.

Background Gingival inflammation and periodontal disease are the common complications of fixed dental prosthesis. They can be overcome by good oral hygiene maintenance.Objective The objective of this study was to assess the oral hygiene and gingival condition in patients after placement of fixed dental prosthesis for a period of six months. It was also analyzed how factors like type of fixed dental prosthesis (Single crown, fixed partial denture) and material (Metal, Porcelain fused to metal) are statistically associated with oral hygiene and gingival health.Method The sample consisted of 50 patients visiting the Dental Outpatient Department of Dhulikhel Hospital. The oral examinations were conducted using basic diagnostic tools (Mouth mirror, periodontal probe and explorer). Teeth and gingiva were examined using the Plaque and Gingiva Index by Silness and Löe. The examinations were conducted after 14 days and six months after placement of fixed dental prosthesis along with the oral hygiene instructions. Paired sample t-test were done to find statistical association using SPSS 16.0.Result Our results revealed no significant difference in plaque index among patients with single crown whereas fixed partial denture showed statistical significance. No significant differences were found for type of material. The statistical analysis showed similar results for gingival index.Conclusion Our research showed that single crown had no significant difference on Plaque index and Gingival index of the patient after 14 days and six months, whereas, Fixed partial denture showed significant difference. Both metal and porcelain fused to metal crown revealed no statistically significant difference on Plaque index and Gingival index.
