COMPARATIVE STUDY

The use of an erbium laser to treat carious teeth has proven to have several advantages when compared to rotary instruments. The clinician is able to remove a minimal amount of tooth structure, thus minimizing the risk of pulpal exposure. The extremely short pulses of erbium lasers combined with an aerosolized water spray have been shown to cool the pulp as opposed to rotary instruments which may create heat that could lead to a pulpitis. Bonding to the lased surfaces is improved because the smear layer is removed, bleeding is controlled, and the lased tooth surface appears etched with open dentinal tubules...

There have been significant advancements in regenerative dentistry demonstrated in large animal studies, particularly in the areas of endodontics and periodontics. By using dental stem cells, pulp tissues can be regenerated in empty root canal space, and periodontal pockets can be regenerated to its normal state. To further test its clinical applications and perhaps to provide such patient care service if proven safe and successful, a facility called good manufacturing practice where stem cells are processed is needed...

Restorative dentistry is experiencing a significant shift towards a rising usage of tougher all-ceramic materials. This trend must be incorporated into existing fixed prosthodontics academic curricula through the integration of lithium disilicate and zirconium oxide crown preparation guidelines. In addition, crown fabrication techniques have also evolved for these newer materials through digitization of preparations and impressions and their computer-assisted manufacturing. This article reviews current crown preparation and cementation guidelines while describing the teaching program in fixed prosthodontics at the University of Tennessee Health Sciences College of Dentistry...

This case reports the concurrence of gemination and fusion affecting the maxillary central incisors of a twelve-year-old patient and the collaboration of the pediatric dentist, endodontist, orthodontist and oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Developmental dental anomalies can occur in both primary and permanent dentitions as a result of conjoining defects. Double teeth, or cases of gemination or fusion, are not exceedingly rare, but the presence of both anomalies in a single patient is a rarity. Gemination is the division of a single tooth bud, resulting in a large single tooth with a bifid crown and common root and root canal...
