The aim of this study was to investigate the level of radiopacity of esthetic dental restorative materials and determine the optimum level of radiopacity in pediatric dentistry. Disks of 8 dental restorative material groups as the experimental group, 7mm in diameter and 2mm thick, were radiographed with intact human deciduous teeth and aluminum stepwedge standard. Radiopacity was evaluated with an image analysis program following the digitization of the radiographs using a flatbed scanner with transparency unit. All materials and tooth structure also the significant difference except FP, VB, VM. For the radiopacity of esthetic restorative dental materials to exceed that of enamel, it should be greater than 1.7mm of equivalent thickness of aluminum.

With the development of treatment of hard and soft tissue around the implants, the implant restoration is increasingly used in the maxillary anterior region which is very important aesthetically. However, the aesthetic reconstruction of the maxillary anterior region is still challenged. Three following conditions should be fully satisfied for aesthetic prosthesis restoration; reconstruction of hard tissue, soft tissue and harmonic prosthesis. In this case report, hard and soft tissue augmentations were performed at atrophied maxillary incisor. Additionally, customized impression coping and provisional restoration were used to make the final restoration.

This case is a porcelain laminate veneer (PLV) and all-ceramic crown treatment case on a female patient in her thirties who visited for esthetic improvement. The patient's chief complaint was protrusive and uneven anterior teeth, and she wanted minimum tooth reduction. The patient was in skeletal class II deep bite. Considering this, check bite method was used for mounting on articulator during diagnostic wax-up. Tooth reduction was done using mock-up base on diagnostic wax-up, and the amount of deletion was checked by index. For the accordance of shade, PLVs were restored in prior to all ceramic crown. After using all-ceramic crown, satisfactory esthetic improvement was obtained.

The maxillary anterior teeth play an important role in esthetics. The esthetic of maxillary anterior teeth is closely related to tooth morphology and also harmony with gingiva. Precise diagnosis and treatment plan are essential to satisfy patient's demand, and sometimes surrounding soft tissue management is involved to achieve the goal. Gingivectomy can be considered as one method to make esthetic restoration possible. As well as esthetics, function has to be considered in maxillary anterior teeth restoration. Definitive cast of abutment and diagnostic cast waxed up labially were superimposed with model scanner, so can provide former comfortable occlusion. This case report demonstrates functional and esthetic improvements of two patients through gingivectomy and the data of superimposed image of casts.

치경부 병소는 부적절한 칫솔질, 화학적 침식 및 차아의 굴곡 등의 여러 원인에 의해 크게 cervical abrasion, erosion 및 abfraction의 형태로 나타난다. 최근 노령 환자층의 증가와 치주 치료에 의한 구강내 치아 잔존율의 증가는 치경부 병소의 증가를 가져왔다. 이러한 치경부 병소는 지각과민증, 우식 및 심미적 이유 등으로 수복을 시행하며 구치부위에 작은 우식이 없는 치경부 병소가 있는 경우 환자에게서 지각과민증를 유발하지 않는 경우라면 수복을 시행하지 않을 수도 있지만, 많은 예에서 더 이상의 치아 및 치주 조직의 손상을 억제하고 치수의 보호를 위해서 수복을 시행한다. 특히 전치부의 경우에는 병소가 작고 우식에 이완되지 않았다 할지라도 그 심미적 측면 때문에 수복을 시행하는 예가 증가하고 있다.(중략)
