Once upon a time, complex cases of multiple veneers, multiple implants or full mouth rehabs would commonly be referred to prosthodontists. With the ready access to continuing education, an overwhelming choice of courses in aligners, digital design, implants etc, it is very easy to overreach. To feel like you should be taking these cases on. Straightaway. There’s a culture in dental social media, advertising and marketing that if you’re not doing these cases then you’re not trying. That if you don’t do these cases then someone else will (and not as well). I’ve been to a course where that has been a line to use to inspire greater production. The tricky thing is, even a four day course in digital planning won’t teach you everything you need to know about managing the occlusion so the veneers dont pop off or chip. It might not train you in global treatment planning and comprehensive diagnosis of the case, which is so essential before you start. Assembling the building blocks of professional development in the correct order and having sufficient and a solid foundation is the key to success.

Single Dental Implant Restoration: Cemented or Screw-Retained? Let's try to clarify! Cesare D'Amico Marco Cicciù Gabriele Cervino "Screw-retained restorations offer advantages such as retrievability, ease of repair, and predictable passive fit, while cemented restorations provide superior esthetics. However, residual cement in cemented restorations poses a risk of peri-implant complications." and "MBL ×100 multiplied sample chi-square test: the chi-square is 1.0849. The p-value is 0.581319. The results are not significant at p < 0.05." #unime #publications #academic #publishing #prosthesis #mdpi

Open 🔑 Access #Therapies for #Anterior #Teeth #Affected by #MIH in #Children and #Adolescents: #Two #Case #Reports 📜Review Article : ✍🏻Faid K #ABSTRACT Molar and incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a qualitative defect in enamel development affecting first molars and permanent incisors, characterized by well-limited opacities of different color. Affected incisors cause aesthetic concerns, particularly in young patients, and are usually the reason for consultation. To manage the aesthetics of these teeth, several treatment options are available. This article presents the management of two patients who came to the Pedodontics Department of the Mohammed VI Center for Dental Care for aesthetic concerns, related to the presence of opacities in the maxillary central incisors associated with MIH. #Case 1 The first case involved a 9-year-old female patient who came to the Centre Mohammed VI des soins dentaires for aesthetic reasons. The patient was bothered by stains on both maxillary central incisors (Figure 1). The diagnosis of MIH was made after examining the first permanent molars, which were also affected to varying degrees. After prophylactic brushing, a sectorial dam was placed. Next, the resin infiltration procedure was initiated, starting with the application of Icon-Etch, with energetic etching for 2 minutes. Next, the product was suctioned off and the teeth were rinsed for 30 seconds, then dried with an air jet. #Case 2 The second case involved a 13-year-old patient who came to the Mohammed VI center for dental care for aesthetic concerns involving the maxillary central incisors. Both the 11 and 21 incisors showed white opacities in the 1/3 incisal area, more pronounced in the 11 incisor. In this case, the opacities were whiter and more pronounced than in the first patient. Consequently, it was necessary to combine several therapies in order to optimize the aesthetic result while respecting the therapeutic gradient... 📰 Get full-length article here: https://lnkd.in/gDWQcyiq We do accept #PPTs and #Video Articles to be publish within our Journal.

AACD Midline is coming to AACD Member and Midline Subscribers inboxes tomorrow! This month's feature focuses on: Collaborative Communication Paves the Way for a Successful Single Anterior Indirect Restoration By Camille J. Zelen, DDS, AAACD AACD members and non-members who have opted into Midline received this article bi-monthly. 👉If you'd like to receive these, the non-member link to subscribe to future Midline's is right here- https://bit.ly/4dIFkpo The single central indirect restoration is a common yet intricate challenge in dentistry. While direct composite bonding is often an excellent option, there are times when a patient may prefer the lasting benefits of a porcelain veneer. This choice typically arises after multiple repairs to the direct bonding or following years of staining and wear on the composite restoration. Achieving a successful outcome with an anterior indirect restoration requires close collaboration between the dental team, the patient, and a skilled laboratory technician. High-quality clinical photography plays a crucial role in conveying the desired overall esthetics and the fine details that mimic natural teeth. These images effectively translate the written prescription into a visual guide for the laboratory, ensuring that the final restoration blends seamlessly with the natural dentition. Additionally, the use of resin cement systems that allow for chairside shade modification can be invaluable. These systems enable slight adjustments in hue and chroma, helping to create a restoration that is not only beautiful but also naturally harmonious with the surrounding teeth.

📚 Ortho Scholar Weekly 📚 An in-depth study on Invisalign Lite by Align Technology, examining the treatment-planning practices of orthodontists. This comprehensive research, conducted by esteemed authors Marcos de-Meyer-Mogollón, Rafaela Guedes, Tobias Galler, Trey Weir, and Shadi Samawi, analyzed data from 169 patients to understand aligner usage, the necessity for additional aligners, and the application of IPR and CR attachments. The findings reveal that over 70% of patients required additional aligners beyond the initial series. The study also highlights the common use of IPR in the mandible and CR attachments in the maxilla. These insights underscore the need for further research to optimize treatment protocols and enhance the efficacy of Invisalign Lite. Credit to the authors and The Angle Orthodontist.
