A Clinical Update on Temporization and Definitive Restoration Placement

ADA Credits: 2 AGD Credits: 2

Esthetic restorative dentistry with indirect restorations is a treatment that is in demand by patients. Careful consideration is required in selecting such cases and the restoration material for an individual patient. Based on the type of restoration selected, the adhesive technique and luting cement can then be selected. Options for ceramic restorations include etch-and-rinse and self-etch techniques for adhesives, together with the use of light-cure or dual-cure resin luting cements, or the use of more traditional luting agents, depending on the type of ceramic restorations.

Managing Restorative Emergencies - Part 2: Sensitivity, fractured teeth, and restorations

Esthetic restorative emergencies in the anterior esthetic zone can involve a fractured tooth, fracture of metal or ceramic material from fixed indirect restorations, or the avulsion or loss of a periodontally involved incisor. While these are not acute emergencies from the perspective of pain or discomfort, they are emergencies from the patient’s perspective due to the loss of esthetics. Triaging patients prior to their appointments is helpful in planning and optimizing treatment.
