Introduction: Microbial eradication from the pulpal spaces plays a pivotal role in the success of endodontic treatment. The intricate internal tooth anatomy challenges the clinician at every instance - be it the cleaning, shaping, or complete restoration of the root canal system. Aim: To assess and compare sealing ability, water sorption and solubility of temporary restorative materials. Material and Method: Thirty extracted premolars were endodontically treated and restored with temporary restorations, 10 teeth in each group. The groups were - Cavit G, Zinconol, Coltosol F. Teeth were thermocycled and sectioned. Microleakage was tested with Methylene blue dye under stereomicroscope. For solubility and sorption analysis, disc-shaped specimens (10 each) were prepared and restored with temporary cements and divided into three groups, depending on the cement used. Specimens were stored in desiccator; dry mass (m1) was obtained. After storing in distilled water, mass after saturation (m2) and thereafter constant dry mass was obtained (m3). Water sorption and solubility was determined by prescribed formulas. Kruskal Wallis and Dunn’s Post-hoc test were used for microleakage. For water sorption and solubility Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, ANOVA and Tukey’s post hoc test were used. Result: Coltosol exhibited least microleakage followed by Cavit and Zinconol. Cavit exhibited maximum sorption and solubility, followed by Coltosol and Zinconol. Conclusion: Coltosol exhibited the least amount of microleakage compared to Cavit and Zinconol. It also demonstrated intermediate level of sorption and solubility. Hence it can be recommended for use as a temporary restorative material during endodontic treatment.
Introduction: Crown fracture is the most common traumatic injury which affects the permanent teeth. Most commonly affected teeth are maxillary incisors, accounting for 96% of all crown fractures. Children and adolescents usually suffer from traumatic injuries, with boys being affected more commonly than girls. Missing tooth structure causes emotional trauma to the children. Rehabilitation of both esthetics and function is the principal objective of the treatment in such cases. Direct composite restorations and indirect ceramic restorations is the primary line of treatment for restoring anterior teeth after fracture when it is not possible to reattach the tooth fragment. The treatment options in uncomplicated coronal fractures depend on various factors such as the amount of residual dentinal enamel tissue, the relationship with the gingival profiles, and the age of the patient. Case Report: This case report describes the clinical procedure involved in the treatment of a complicated fracture in the maxillary left central incisor in a 17-year-old female patient, due to accidental fall. After clinical and radiograph examination Ellis class III fracture was diagnosed. Endodontic treatment was carried out followed by post endodontic restoration. Conclusion: Composite resins have proven themselves as one of the most important tools in the clinician’s armament. Reliable strength and a realistic aesthetic result is achievable. The advantage of this technique is closely associated with satisfactory results, combined with the dexterity, skill and mastery of technique employed by the professional.
Aim: To elaborate the importance of the concept of biologic width in terms of restorative dentistry. Background: Biological width is the natural distance (combine heights) between the base of the healthy gingival sulcus or epithelial attachment to the tooth and the height of the alveolar bone or connective tissue. For better description of relationship between the periodontal tissues and conservative procedures is to restore form, function, esthetics, and comfort for the dentition. Most of the dentists are aware of biological width, its maintenance and its importance during application of crown lengthening. However, this review will elaborate on its importance in restorative dentistry. This article reviews the anatomy, categories, evaluation, violation, methods to correct the violation of biologic width and its relationship to periodontal health and restorative dentistry. Review Results: Respecting the biologic width and designing restorations accordingly is crucial. Biologic Width is the dimension of space that the healthy gingival tissues occupy above the alveolar bone. Incorrectly placed margins of restorations are a common cause of biologic width violation. This can lead to gingival inflammation and bone loss, thereby damaging the periodontal health as well as reducing the life of the restoration.
