Composite resin placed at an increased vertical dimension acts in a similar manner to a 'Dahl' type appliance. Composite resin offers a viable treatment option in the management of localised anterior ...

Objective To examine the clinical performance of resin-based composite restorations placed at an increased vertical dimension when used to manage localised anterior tooth wear. Design A retrospective ...

Figure 1. This preoperative occlusal view shows a carious lesion on the mesioproximal surface of tooth #15. A Class II direct composite was chosen in this case to restore this area. Figure 2. Applying ...

Severe tooth wear can cause a number of problems for patients, but minimally invasive options to restore worn teeth are limited. A new study, however, has found that building up resin composite on ...

When a composite resin restoration fails, the most common approach is to replace it. Now, a new study has compared the outcomes over a 10-year period of replacing a composite restoration versus ...

Advances in materials development with seventh-generation composites, including nano-microhybrid composites, allow dentists to create excellent, strong, and esthetic tooth replacements, using direct ...

In recent times, the potential toxicity of amalgam (silver fillings) has become an increasing concern among people, who also increasingly prefer less conspicuous fillings. As a result, composite ...

A few years from now millions of people around the world might be walking around with an unusual kind of glass in their mouth, and using it every time they eat. Engineers have made some promising ...
