Dental caries is the major oral health problem in most of the countries, affecting 60-90% of school children and a vast majority of adults. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the association of age with Class VI defects restored with composite restorations. We used 102 cases with data regarding Class VI composite restorations in a datasheet of 86,000 records at Saveetha Dental College, India for this study. Data shows that Class VI restorations were commonly seen in upper anterior teeth in the age group of 51 and above. The cavities prepared to receive Class VI restoration followed a conservative design of caries removal and used direct restoration techniques for reconstruction of the lost tooth structure.

An uncomplicated crown fracture is a fracture that involves only the tooth enamel or the dentin and tooth enamel without any damage or exposure to the pulp. Crown fracture of the anterior teeth usually caused by traumatic forces such as falls, accidents, violence, or sports activities. Traumatic injuries of the oral region frequently involve the anterior teeth, especially maxillary incisors due to the anatomic factors which may affect the functional and aesthetical values of the teeth. The objective of this literature study was to know more about uncomplicated crown fracture of the anterior teeth and its restoration. This research was a literature study performed by researching, highlighting various interesting facts and compiling the relevant published journals. The most common and ideal direct restoration of the anterior teeth was the composite resin restoration. The anterior teeth restoration was considered to be a complex and challenging case to solves due to the fact that besides reconstructing the tooth and regaining the function, the aesthetical aspect was also becoming the main objectives. The permanent anterior teeth uncomplicated crown fracture was the most common case of tooth fractures which was mainly caused by traumatic injuries such as falls, accidents, excessive forces, violence, and also sports activities. Dental injuries of the anterior teeth also affected the aesthetical properties and the function of the tooth. Composite resin restoration was able to performed directly on the permanent anterior teeth uncomplicated crown fracture.

SUMMARY This clinical report illustrates a conservative technique to mask enamel discolorations in maxillary anterior teeth caused by hypomineralization associated with enamel fluorosis and subsequent direct resin composite to improve the anterior esthetics. The treatment consisted of at-home whitening with 10% carbamide peroxide gel with potassium nitrate and sodium fluoride in a custom-fitted tray to mask the brown-stained areas, followed by resin infiltration to mask the white spot areas. An existing resin composite restoration in the maxillary right central incisor was subsequently replaced after completion of the whitening and resin infiltration procedures, whereas the two misaligned and rotated maxillary lateral incisors were built up with direct resin composite restorations to provide the illusion of adequate arch alignment, as the patient was unable to use orthodontic therapy.

Root canal treatment aims to maintain the condition of the teeth in order to keep them functioning. In practice, the treatment procedure does not always run smoothly, the operator can face undesirable conditions that can affect the prognosis of treatment. A common procedural error during root canal treatment is a lateral root perforation which must be treated immediately to avoid further damage. The success of the perforation treatment is determined by the materials used. One of the bicompatible materials to seal lateral perforations using MTA (mineral trioxide aggregate). Successful root canal treatment affects treatment outcomes, so proper restoration is required to reduce the risk of marginal leakage. The choice of final restoration in post-root canal treatment depends on the amount of remaining tooth structure, horizontal pressure and chewing load. For post-root canal treatment anterior teeth with intact marginal edges, direct restoration can be performed using composite resin

ABSTRACT An ideal aesthetic standard consists of facial and smile harmony. Discolored teeth generally cause an imbalance in facial aesthetics, leading to low self-esteem and disturbance in social relationships. Causes of teeth discoloration are classified as intrinsic or extrinsic. Bleaching is considered a safe and effective treatment for discolored nonvital teeth and can be associated with restorative treatment to properly correct the dental color and maximize the aesthetic results. This paper aims to present two case reports of single discolored nonvital anterior teeth and the protocol used to reestablish the dental harmony of these patients by bleaching and direct composite resin restoration. To exert minimally invasive dentistry is very important to preserve tooth structure and reduce the risk of fracture. Internal bleaching, although may not be sufficient to reestablish the aesthetic in some cases, it is important to minimize dental preparation to perform an indirect or direct restoration. Dentists must take into account the patients expectations, dominate the restorative technique and know the dental materials to properly be able to restore function and aesthetics and consequently improve life quality and social relationships.

Objective: The objective of the present study was to present, through two clinical cases, the direct stratification technique and the sequence of finishing and polishing of composite resin restorations on fractured anterior teeth. Case reports: In the first case, an 11-year-old female patient fractured the upper central incisors. In the second, a 6-year-old female patient fractured the left upper central incisor. A detailed description of the layering technique, materials, and instruments available was presented, not only for the restoration itself but also for finishing and polishing. In both cases, the tooth fragment was lost, so it was decided to use the technique of direct restoration with composite resin. Discussion: The composite resin restores the tooth structure with excellent optical results, long-term predictability is obtained, in addition to being a conservative way to restore the aesthetics and function of fractured anterior teeth. Conclusion: The technique performed provided a satisfactory aesthetic and functional result that, consequently, improved the patient’s self-esteem.

SUMMARY Conservative resin composite restoration of worn mandibular anterior teeth may offer an alternative option to full-coverage restorations for the patient. Assessment of the occlusal condition is critical because alterations in occlusal vertical dimension may not always be possible. By exposing additional coronal tooth structure, periodontal crown-lengthening procedures can serve to increase clinical crown height when adequate attached gingival tissue is present and supra-eruption has likely occurred. Fabrication of a custom template made from a diagnostic mock-up with proximal stainless steel matrices helps contribute to a predictable restorative result and improves chairside efficiency for the dental practice. By combining gingival crown lengthening, bonding of resin composite material, and selective occlusal adjustment; a short to medium-term, conservative option can be made available for the patient.

ABSTRACT The use of composite resin restorations is widespread in restoring not only anterior teeth but also posterior teeth. Failure of such restorations can occur due to several reasons; and their removal is often stressful and time consuming due to their close resemblance to tooth structure. This article describes a simple technique to place composite restorations with the facilitation of easy demarcation from tooth structure if the need arises to remove it.

SUMMARY Objective: This article aims to present a fractographic analysis of an anterior tooth restored with a glass fiber post with parallel fiber arrangement, taking into account force vectors, finite element analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Methods: A patient presented at the Faculty of Dentistry (Federal University of Santa Maria, Brazil) with an endodontically treated tooth (ETT), a lateral incisor that had a restorable fracture. The treatment was performed, and the fractured piece was analyzed using stereomicroscopy, SEM, and finite element analysis. Results: The absence of remaining coronal tooth structure might have been the main factor for the clinical failure. We observed different stresses actuating in an ETT restored with a fiber post as well as their relationship with the ultimate fracture. Tensile, compression, and shear stresses presented at different levels inside the restored tooth. Tensile and compressive stresses acted together and were at a maximum in the outer portions and a minimum in the inner portions. In contrast, shear stresses acted concomitantly with tensile and compressive stresses. Shear was higher in the inner portions (center of the post), and lower in the outer portions. This was confirmed by finite element analysis. The SEM analysis showed tensile and compression areas in the fiber post (exposed fibers=tensile areas=lingual surface; nonexposed fibers=compression areas=buccal surface) and shear areas inside the post (scallops and hackle lines). Stereomicroscopic analysis showed brown stains in the crown/root interface, indicating the presence of microleakage (tensile area=lingual surface). Conclusion: We concluded that glass fiber posts with parallel fibers (0°), when restoring anterior teeth, present a greater fracture potential by shear stress because parallel fibers are not mechanically resistant to support oblique occlusal loads. Factors such as the presence of remaining coronal tooth structure and occlusal stability assist in the biomechanical equilibrium of stresses that act upon anterior teeth.
