Digital scanning, advanced materials, 3D printing, and artificial intelligence enable CAD/CAM to provide efficient, same-day restorative care.

Today’s universal composites may all promise excellent esthetics and strength, but understanding how filler technology, resin chemistry, and photoinitiator systems differ can help clinicians make more informed restorative decisions.

This technology is designed to improve efficacy against plaque, gingivitis, dentinal hypersensitivity, and oral malodor.

Mastering the art of these restorations requires meticulous planning, precise execution, and a deep understanding of esthetic principles.

Understanding the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of dental cracks and fractures can help clinicians improve outcomes and enhance patients’ long-term oral health.

By focusing on pulp vitality, biomechanics, and adhesive techniques, biomimetic dentistry extends tooth longevity, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional full-coverage crowns.

Explore the dynamic role of occlusal guards in reducing muscle activity in the short term and safeguarding dental health.

This study demonstrates that using a faster firing cycle may result in color variation when producing same-day computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing restorations.

Interprofessional cooperation is key to effective prevention of tooth decay.

Three case studies shed light on the challenges of reactive tissue development and delayed wound healing.
