Veneer

Veneer

Veneer refers to a thin sheet of wood, typically produced to a thickness of about one-eighth of an inch or less. This material is crafted through various methods, the most common being rotary cutting. In this process, a log is mounted into a large lathe and spun against a knife edge, peeling off a continuous strip of wood as the knife penetrates deeper into the rotating log, creating a rotary-cut veneer.
Other veneering techniques include plain-slicing, quarter-slicing, and rift-slicing. These...

Restorative Care

Restorative Care

Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...

Coronary Artery Disease V: Interprofessional Care

Interprofessional care for coronary artery disease includes pharmacological therapy and revascularization procedures.Pharmacological therapy for Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) aims to manage symptoms, prevent complications, and improve patient outcomes through various classes of medications:Antiplatelet Agents:Aspirin and Clopidogrel: These medications inhibit platelet aggregation, preventing blood clots, which is crucial for avoiding heart attacks and strokes. Doctors often prescribe these...

Teeth

Teeth

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...

Tooth Anatomy

Tooth Anatomy

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.

Summary

Recementation is the most common re-intervention for crowned teeth, decreasing as crowns age. Replacement crowns are the next most frequent intervention, occurring in 17% of cases.

Area of Science:

Dental restorative procedures
Clinical dentistry

Background:

Dental crowns are common restorations for damaged teeth.
Re-intervention on crowned teeth is sometimes necessary.
Understanding re-intervention patterns informs clinical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze the types and frequency of re-interventions on crowned teeth.
To investigate the relationship between time since crown placement and re-intervention type.

Main Methods:

Analysis of 47,474 crown records from the NHS Business Services Authority (Dental Services Division).
Inclusion of patients aged 18+ with indirectly placed restorations from January 1991.
Recording of subsequent interventions for each crowned tooth.

Measuring Maxillary Posterior Tooth Movement: A Model Assessment using Palatal and Dental Superimposition

Published on: February 23, 2024

Main Results:

Metal-ceramic crowns comprised 80% of the analyzed restorations.
10,426 crowned teeth required re-intervention.
Recementation (36%) was the most frequent re-intervention, followed by replacement crowns (17%), direct restorations (13%), root treatment (12%), and extraction/denture replacement (19%).

Conclusions:

Recementation is the primary re-intervention for crowned teeth, with its incidence declining over time.
The likelihood of extraction or direct restoration increases with crown age, while recementation decreases.
