Direct adhesive reconstructions for restoration of posterior teeth with erosive tooth wear
This article presents the use of direct adhesive composite restorations as a way of reconstructing a dentition severely altered by erosion. To reconstruct the occlusal surfaces, transfer splints are used that are made on the basis of individual wax-up models. The procedure described is a well-researched and proven method for restoring teeth with erosion-related loss of hard tooth substance. As with all new procedures, there will be a certain learning curve for the practical dentist after which high-quality restorations can be implemented with this technique.PMID:37386907 (Source: Schweizer Monatsschrift fur Zahnmedizin)

Minimally invasive treatment of erosions to regain health, function and aesthetics with indirect restorations
This article discusses the treatment of tooth structure loss due to erosion using indirect lithium disilicate ceramic restorations. Minimally invasive approaches, in which the eroded teeth are conservatively prepared and restored with minimally invasive restorations, are recommended. Lithium disilicate ceramics are currently the material of choice for this type of treatment as they can withstand maximum occlusal forces in the posterior region. The restorative process should be guided by diagnostic procedures that define the clinical therapeutic goal at the beginning of treatment. Adhesive cementation with the correct proto...

Efficient cleaning of a macro-structured micro-rough dental implant shoulder with a new coronal vertical groove design: A technical note
Swiss Dent J. 2023 Jun 9;133(11). Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis evaluation assessed the influence of a new implant shoulder design on cleanability using a now established in-vitro study model. Eight test (Botticelli, Di Meliora AG, Basel, Switzerland) and eight control implants (T3 Osseotite, ZimVie, Winterthur, Switzerland), were embedded in standardized defects in simulated bone. The implant surfaces were painted to be visually distinguishable and debrided with ultrasonic instruments (US) and an air powder waterjet device (AIR). Uncleaned implants served as positive controls. After the standardized cleaning, the imp...
