A porcelain laminate veneer is one of the most conservative and aesthetic techniques that clinicians can apply when restoring the human dentition. The main objective of any restorative case involving these restorations is to keep the preparation simple and to be conservative in the reduction of sound tooth structure.
Achieving stability of a mandibular complete denture is a difficult treatment objective due to continuous reduction of residual ridge size and its proximity to limiting structures. Various techniques have been proposed to enhance mandibular denture stability, and one such alternative method is the Neutral Zone Technique, especially in poorly resorbed ridges. Sir Wilfred Fish of England first described the Neutral Zone Concept in 1931. The term "Neutral Zone" refers to the area within the mouth where the outward force of the tongue is neutralized by the inward force of the cheeks and lips. The rationale behind the Neutral Zone Technique is to fabricate a mandibular complete denture that is optimally situated and in harmony with the oral structures. The teeth are arranged in occlusion within this zone, determined by the oral musculature and tongue to ensure stability for the complete denture prosthesis. The need for a technique based on physiological concepts is increasingly significant.
This study aimed to evaluate the microtensile bond strength of two resin cements and a modified glass ionomer cement on both coronal and root dentin. Fifteen extracted molars were randomly divided into three groups of five teeth each. Rely X ARC (dual-cure resin cement), MULTILINK (self-cure resin cement), and FujiCEM (resin-modified glass ionomer cement) were used to measure microtensile bond strength. The results showed that Group I, Rely X ARC (10.6±0.9 Mpa), had the highest bond strength compared to Group II, MULTILINK (5.4±0.9 Mpa), and Group III, FUJICEM (3.8±0.7 Mpa). Although there were differences in microtensile bond strength among the tested materials, no significant difference was found between bond strengths to coronal and root substrates.
A cyst is defined as a pathological cavity that contains fluid, semi-fluid, or gaseous content. It is often, but not always, lined by epithelium. Nasopalatine duct cysts (NPDC) are developmental, epithelial, non-odontogenic cysts that occur in the maxilla. They are commonly asymptomatic and are often incidentally discovered during clinical and radiographic examinations. These cysts are usually central or unilateral with no side prevalence. They originate from epithelial remnants of the nasopalatine duct and can be activated spontaneously during life or eventually stimulated by the irritating action of various agents. Here, we report a case of NPDC with varied clinical and radiographic findings in a female patient.
Natural products have been used for several years in folk medicine. Among these products, honey has effective antibacterial potential for reducing oral pathogens and holds promise for the treatment of periodontal diseases, mouth ulcers, and other oral cavity diseases. As people are realizing that modern medicine is not the only remedy for infections, many of us are looking for alternative approaches with the least possible side effects, and honey can provide that. This article highlights the importance of honey and its applications in the dental field.
