One-appointment composite crown: an alternative to conventional crown and bridge
General Dentistry
|April 15, 1999
Summary
When little coronal tooth structure remains, dentists can choose from four treatment options. This study details a technique for restoring teeth using a composite crown after root canal therapy.
Area of Science:
- Restorative Dentistry
- Endodontics
- Prosthodontics
Background:
- Limited coronal tooth structure presents a significant restorative challenge.
- Several treatment pathways exist, each with unique indications and outcomes.
Observation:
- Four primary treatment strategies are identified for compromised coronal tooth structure.
- A specific technique focusing on composite/amalgam crowns following root canal therapy is presented.
Findings:
- The study describes a practical technique for utilizing composite crowns in severely damaged teeth.
- Case examples illustrate the application and potential success of this restorative approach.
Implications:
- This technique offers a viable alternative for preserving natural teeth when significant structure is lost.
- It expands the restorative options available to clinicians managing complex endodontic cases.

01:15Teeth
The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...

01:18Composite Masonry Walls
Composite masonry walls combine multiple wythes of the same or different masonry materials to create a unified structure. These walls feature wythes that are bonded together either through mortar-filled collar joints, grouted spaces, or more commonly, with rigid metal ties and reinforcements, with the use of masonry header units being rare. Metal ties are preferred because they effectively minimize water penetration, as these walls primarily absorb moisture and then release it into the...
