Esthetic rehabilitation of single anterior edentulous space using fiber-reinforced composite

A fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) fixed prosthesis is an innovative alternative to a traditional metal restoration, as it is a conservative treatment method. This case report demonstrates a detailed procedure for restoring a missing anterior tooth with an FRC. A 44-year-old woman visited our department with an avulsed tooth that had fallen out on the previous day and was completely dry. This tooth was replanted, but it failed after one year. A semi-direct technique was used to fabricate a FRC fixed partial prosthesis for its replacement. The FRC framework and the pontic were fabricated using a duplicated cast model and nanofilled composite resin. Later on, interproximal contact, tooth shape, and shade were adjusted at chairside. This technique not only enables the clinician to replace a missing tooth immediately after extraction for minimizing esthetic problems, but it also decreases both tooth reduction and cost.

Considerations during crown reattachment procedure over the pulpal exposure: case report
Bona Kim, Yoon Lee, Min-Ju Song, Su-Jung Shin, Jeong-Won Park
Restor Dent Endod 2012;37(4):240-244.   Published online November 21, 2012
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5395/rde.2012.37.4.240
AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub

Crown reattachment is the most conservative treatment which can be used to restore fractured tooth, presumably with sufficient strength, while maintaining original contour, incisal translucency, and reducing chair time and cost.

However, in case of crown fracture with pin-point pulp exposure, we should cautiously minimize the irritation to the pulp and consider pre-treatment pulpal status, choice of pulp capping materials, choice of bonding system and treatment sequence during crown reattachment procedures. This case reports the considerations while crown reattachment with direct pulp capping using calcium hydroxide (Dycal, Dentsply Caulk).

Prevention of tooth discoloration associated with triple antibiotics
Bona Kim, Min-Ju Song, Su-Jung Shin, Jeong-Won Park
Restor Dent Endod 2012;37(2):119-122.   Published online May 18, 2012
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5395/rde.2012.37.2.119
AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub

Regenerative endodontics has a potential to heal a partially necrotic pulp, which can be beneficial for the continued root development and strengthening of immature teeth. For this purpose, triple antibiotic mixture of ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, and minocycline was recommended as intracanal medicament in an attempt to disinfect the root canal system for revascularization of a tooth with a necrotic pulp. However, discoloration of the tooth was reported after applying this. This case shows the idea for preventing the tooth discoloration using a delivery syringe (SW-O-01, Shinwoo dental) to avoid the contact between the clinical crown and the antibiotics.

The evaluation of surface roughness and polishing time between polishing systems
Ye-Mi Kim, Su-Jung Shin, Min-Ju Song, Jeong-Won Park
J Korean Acad Conserv Dent 2011;36(2):119-124.   Published online March 31, 2011
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5395/JKACD.2011.36.2.119
AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Objectives

The purpose of this experiment was to evaluate four different polishing systems of their polishability and polishing time.

Materials and Methods

4 mm diameter and 2 mm thickness Teflon mold was made. Z-250 (3M ESPE) hybrid composite resin was slightly overfilled and pressed with slide glass and cured with Optilux 501 for 40 sec each side. Then the surface roughness (glass pressed: control group) was measured with profilometer. One surface of the specimen was roughened by #320 grit sand paper and polished with one of the following polishing systems; Sof-Lex (3M ESPE), Jiffy (Ultradent), Enhance (Dentsply/Caulk), or Pogo (Dentsply/Caulk). The surface roughness and the total polishing time were measured. The results were analyzed with one-way ANOVA and Duncan's multiple range test.

Results

The surface roughness was lowest in Pogo, and highest in Sof-Lex. Polishing times were shortest with Pogo, and followed by the Sof-Lex, Enhance and Jiffy.

Conclusions

One-step polishing system (Pogo) is very effective to get the smooth surface in a short time, therefore it can be recommended for final polishing system of the restoration.

Comparison of apical transportation and change of working length in K3, NRT AND PROFILE rotary instruments using transparent resin block
Min-Jung Yoon, Min-Ju Song, Su-Jung Shin, Euiseong Kim
J Korean Acad Conserv Dent 2011;36(1):59-65.   Published online January 31, 2011
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5395/JKACD.2011.36.1.59
AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Objectives

The purpose of this study is to compare the apical transportation and working length change in curved root canals created in resin blocks, using 3 geometrically different types of Ni-Ti files, K3, NRT, and Profile.

Materials and Methods

The curvature of 30 resin blocks was measured by Schneider technique and each groups of Ni-Ti files were allocated with 10 resin blocks at random. The canals were shaped with Ni-Ti files by Crown-down technique. It was analyzed by Double radiograph superimposition method (Backman CA 1992), and for the accuracy and consistency, specially designed jig, digital X-ray, and CAD/CAM software for measurement of apical transportation were used. The amount of apical transportation was measured at 0, 1, 3, 5 mm from 'apical foramen - 0.5 mm' area, and the alteration of the working length before and after canal shaping was also measured. For statistics, Kruskal-Wallis One Way Analysis was used.

Results

There was no significant difference between the groups in the amount of working length change and apical transportation at 0, 1, and 3 mm area (p = 0.027), however, the amount of apical transportation at 5 mm area showed significant difference between K3 and Profile system (p = 0.924).

Conclusions

As a result of this study, the 3 geometrically different Ni-Ti files showed no significant difference in apical transportation and working length change and maintained the original root canal shape.

Treatment of crown-root fracture with a modified crown fragment reattachment technique
Chang-Won Song, Min-Ju Song, Su-Jung Shin, Jeong-Won Park
J Korean Acad Conserv Dent 2010;35(5):395-401.   Published online September 30, 2010
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5395/JKACD.2010.35.5.395
AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub

The development of adhesive dentistry has allowed that the crown fragment reattachment can be another option in the treatment of crown fracture. However, additional crown lengthening procedure or extrusion of the tooth may be necessary in the treatment of crown root fracture because subgingival fracture line in close proximity to the alveolar bone leads to challenges for restorative procedure and the violation of the biologic width. This case report presents a modified crown fragment reattachment technique of crown root fracture with pulp exposure, which was done without additional crown lengthening procedures. After the endodontic treatment, the patient was treated using a post insertion and the fragment reattachment technique, which made it possible to preserve the space for the biologic width and maintain a dry surgical field for adequate adhesion through the modification of the fractured coronal fragment. Since a coronal fracture was occurred and reattached afterward, it was observed that the coronal fragment was well maintained without the additional loss of periodontal attachment through 2-year follow up.
