Updated Technique for Reliable, Easy, and Tolerated Transcranial Electrical Stimulation Including Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation
Published on: January 3, 2020
Summary
The cast gold 7/8 crown offers a durable and esthetic solution for extensive tooth restoration, particularly for maxillary bicuspids and molars. This technique preserves natural tooth structure and minimizes gingival irritation for superior results.
Area of Science:
- Restorative Dentistry
- Dental Materials Science
- Esthetic Dentistry
Background:
- Restorative dentistry faces challenges in balancing form, function, and esthetics.
- Material selection and design are critical for optimal clinical outcomes.
- The cast gold 7/8 crown is a valuable procedure for specific restorative needs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy of the cast gold 7/8 crown with an esthetic buccal margin.
- To highlight its benefits for extensive restorations on maxillary bicuspids and molars.
- To compare its esthetic and functional advantages over other restorative materials.
Main Methods:
- Utilizing the cast gold 7/8 crown design advocated by Dr. Richard V. Tucker.
- Focusing on cases with buccal cusp recession but strong gingival thirds.
- Implementing esthetic buccal margins to conceal gold and preserve tooth structure.
Main Results:
- Achieves long-lasting and esthetically pleasing restorations.
- Successfully restores extensively involved teeth without visible gold margins.
- Preserves natural tooth color and contours of the buccal cusp.
- Minimizes insult to gingival tissues.
Conclusions:
- The cast gold 7/8 crown provides superior esthetics compared to porcelain-metal or all-ceramic restorations.
- It offers a conservative approach with less tooth structure loss and pulpal trauma.
- This technique is ideal for specific cases requiring durable and esthetic restoration of maxillary posterior teeth.

01:12Taping Over Different Ground Profiles
Taping over varying ground profiles requires careful adaptation to achieve accurate measurements. On smooth, level ground with minimal vegetation, the tape can rest directly on the ground. Here, the taping team, typically consisting of a head and a rear tapeman, coordinates their positions with clear communication. The rear tapeman holds the tape at the starting point and guides the head tapeman toward a range pole placed beyond the endpoint, using hand or voice signals to ensure alignment.On...

Airway management is a key skill in emergency and critical care settings, as maintaining a clear airway is essential for adequate oxygenation and ventilation.Head Tilt-Chin Lift TechniqueThe head tilt-chin lift maneuver is an essential technique primarily used in patients without suspected cervical spine injuries. To perform this maneuver, one hand is placed on the patient’s forehead, and gentle pressure is applied backward to tilt the head. The fingertips of the other hand are positioned under...
01:29Impression Management Techniques I: Managing Appearances
Appearance is a multidimensional aspect of self-presentation that encompasses observable attributes such as clothing, grooming, speech, and nonverbal behavior. These elements are often strategically managed to align with socially constructed expectations in different settings. For instance, individuals tailor their appearance during job interviews, social gatherings, or athletic events to meet the perceived norms of those environments.Contextual Adaptation and Social SignalsThe research...
01:29Impression Management Techniques II: Ingratiation
Ingratiation refers to deliberate behaviors aimed at increasing one’s attractiveness or likability to a target person, often for strategic interpersonal or social gain. This set of impression management tactics is especially prevalent in hierarchical contexts, where influencing someone with greater power or authority can yield significant benefits. Several distinct ingratiation strategies have been identified, each leveraging psychological cues to foster favor and affiliation.Opinion...
01:21Tooth 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.

01:30Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques
Airway management is essential in emergency and surgical medicine, ensuring ventilation and oxygenation in patients who cannot maintain their own airway. Clinicians use a range of techniques and devices to secure the airway, depending on the patient’s condition and the clinical context. Key methods include endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence intubation (RSI), supraglottic airway devices, and advanced visualization aids. In cases where these approaches fail, surgical airway interventions are...
