Esthetics in a Diseased Periodontium - Tips & Tricks

LOD-263-00

Dr. Giorgio Tabanella

Periodontal tissue destruction related to periodontitis, trauma, biologic width violation, mucogingival deformities as well as iatrogenic dentistry may lead to multiple tooth loss. The rehabilitation of neighbouring teeth in aesthetically demanding areas when associated with advanced soft and hard tissue loss may represent a surgical and aesthetic clinical challenge.Preservation or creation of a soft tissue scaffold needed to create the illusion of a natural tooth is often difficult to achieve when the potential for tissue regeneration is reduced. Furthermore the placement of a dental implant in the aesthetic zone with neighbouring teeth with a damaged periodontium can be a real difficult task especially when there is no room for error: the diagnosis will lead clinicians to the correct way of treating patients.Release: 12/20/2014 | Expires: 12/20/2017

Management of a Coronally Advanced Lingual Flap in Regenerative Osseous Surgery: A Case Series Introducing a Novel Technique

LIT-067

Dr. Marco Ronda

One of the crucial factors in the success of guided bone regeneration (GBR) procedures is the correct management of the soft tissues. This allows for stable primary wound closure without tension, which can result in premature exposure of the augmentation area, jeopardizing the final outcome. The use of vertical and periosteal incisions to passivate buccal and lingual flaps in the posterior mandible is often limited by anatomical factors. This paper reports on a series of 69 consecutive cases introducing a novel surgical technique to release and advance the lingual flap coronally in a safe and predictable manner.

Immediate One-Time Low-Profile Abutment to Enhance Peri-Implant Soft and Hard Tissue Stability in the Esthetic Zone

LIT-066

Dr. Stavros Pelekanos

Reductions in peri-implant bone height have been acknowledged as a normal consequence of implant therapy. Various restorative factors contribute to this phenomenon. One is repeated abutment retightening, which causes a mechanical disruption at the implant-abutment interface, leading to soft tissue recession. Several investigators proposed placement of the definitive abutment after implant placement as a solution to the problem. The definitive use of an intermediate abutment after implant placement seems to positively affect the soft tissue response. This article aims to present a prosthetic sequence for achieving peri-implant tissue stability in the esthetic zone.

Transmucosal Implant Placement with Submarginal Connective Tissue Graft in Area of Shallow Buccal Bone Dehiscence: A Three-Year Follow-Up Case Series

Abutment-Supported Papilla: A Combined Surgical and Prosthetic Approach to Papilla Reformation

LIT-064

Restoration of lost interdental papilla remains one of the most challenging goals for clinicians. When a single tooth is replaced with an implant, the papilla between the tooth and the implant can often be maintained or predictably restructured as long as the periodontal attachment and bone of the adjacent tooth is preserved. However, if the periodontal support is compromised on the neighboring natural tooth, the papilla will often be deficient or missing. This article presents a multidisciplinary treatment approach to regenerate the interdental papilla between an implant and a periodontically compromised tooth using surgical procedures and a customized abutment. Specifically, an abutment with modified subgingival contours is used to enhance support of the surgically reformed papilla.

An approach to biomimetics: The natural CAD/CAM restoration: A clinical report

LIT-060

Those in the dental field have always pursued the perfect dental material for the treatment of compromised teeth. Gold, amalgam, composite resin, glass ionomer, and porcelain have been used. Tooth-like restorative materials (composite resin and porcelain) combined with an effective hard tissue bond have met the growing demand for esthetic or metal-free restorations in the past 15 to 20 years. However, none of those materials can fully mimic the unique properties of dentin (compliance and crack-stopping behavior) and enamel (wear resistance, function). The aim of this article is to report the restoration of an extensively damaged tooth with a natural restoration obtained by milling an extracted third molar tooth with a computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system. The main benefit of this novel technique is the replacement of lost tissues by actual enamel and dentin, with the potential to recover mechanical, esthetic, and biologic properties. The indication for extracting third molars and premolars because of impaction or for orthodontic reasons makes these posterior teeth readily available. The innovation of the method presented here is the optimal use of the extracted tooth substrate thanks to its positioning technique in the CAD/CAM milling chamber.

IDS: Immediate Dentin Sealing (IDS) for Tooth Preparations

LIT-059

Dr. Pascal Magne

There is a strong body of evidence to support applying an adhesive resin coating to the freshly cut dentin according to the manufacturer’s instructions1-9 when a significant area of dentin has been exposed during tooth preparation for indirect restorations, such as inlays, onlays, veneers, and even crowns. Freshly cut and clean dentin is ideal for dentin bonding.11 IDS enables the pre-polymerization of the dentin bonding agent, resulting in improved bond strength...

Immediate dentin sealing supports delayed restoration placement

LIT-058

Dr. Pascal Magne

Statement of problem: Immediate dentin sealing (IDS) is a new approach in indirect restorations. Dentin is sealed immediately following tooth preparation, prior to impression making. It is not known whether it is still possible to obtain an efficient bond between the resin-coated dentin and the restoration after 2 to 4 months of placement of provisional restorations. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if there were differences in microtensile bond strength to human dentin using the IDS technique when comparing 2, 7, and 12 weeks of delay until restoration placement, using 2 different dentin bonding agents (DBAs). Previously published preliminary IDS data were included for comparison.
