  • The esthetic properties of zirconia receive increasing attention as its demand and application escalates. Thus, it is crucial to investigate how zirconia is esthetically different from other dental ceramics. In this study, we evaluated the translucency of zirconia and suggest a method to increase its translucency. We examined the shade of zirconia and offer its distinguishing features. Finally, we analyzed monolithic zirconia restorations to propose esthetic considerations in clinics.

  • A technique is presented through clinical cases for restoring anterior teeth to enhance dental esthetics using bonded partial ceramic restorations (BPCRs) without or with minimum reduction of tooth structures. These restorations offer the advantages of the superior properties of ceramic materials and the conservative nature of a direct composite restoration at the same time.

  • With the explosive increase of esthetic demands by patients, many dental materials for the esthetic restoration have been introduced. Recently, zirconia based restorations are using for the cases of single crown, bridges, implant prostheses etc. Zirconia have superior mechanical properties and biocompatibility. Owing to the properties of high strength, zirconia has to be manufactured by CAD/CAM system. Dental CAD/CAM system is a futuristic treatment and technical system which makes it possible to produce the precision and uniform prosthesis and also standardize the treatments. This article introduces the characteristics of zirconia, fabrication procedure using CAD/CAM system and procedure for the cementation of zirconia based restoration.

  • Esthetic aspect is one of the most important factors in clinical dentistry. Esthetics of dental restorative materials consist of translucency, surface texture, and most importantly 'colour'. Main characteristics of optical properties and its clinical representation and general outlook as to the current information on colour and its representation has been considered in this study. Characteristics of esthetic materials are concerned with the field of science and dental professionals should take into consideration the importance, characteristics, and applications to actual clinical settings of esthetic restorative materials. Relevant information regarding natural teeth and esthetic restorative materials and training will lead to the heightened ability of dental professionals.

  • Application of ceramic materials for fabrication of dental restoration materials has been a focus of interest in the field of esthetic dentistry. The ceramic materials of choice are glass ceramics, spinel, alumina, and zirconia. The development of yttrium tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (YTZP)-based systems is a recent addition to all-ceramic systems that have high strength and are used for crowns and fixed partial dentures. Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM)-produced, YTZP-based systems are popular with respect to their esthetic appeal for use in stress-bearing regions. The highly esthetic nature of zirconia and its superior physical properties and biocompatibility have enabled the development of restorative systems that meet the demands of today's patients. Many in vitro trials have been performed on the use of zirconia; however, relatively fewer long-term clinical studies have been published on this subject. The use of zirconia frameworks for long-span fixed partial dentures is currently being evaluated; in the future, more in vivo research and long-term clinical studies are required to provide scientific evidence for drawing solid guidelines. Further clinical and in vitro studies are required to obtain data regarding the long-term clinical use of zirconia-based restorations.

  • Photoinitiated polymeric dental restorative nanocomposites (PDRNC) were designed to be useful for the variety of dental restoration. Hybrid-filler composed of barium silicate (avg. dia.:1 ${\mu}m$) and nano-sized silica (avg. dia: 40 and 7 nm) was adopted as a filler system. To improve the interfacial behavior with the resin matrix of bisphenol A glycerolate methacrylate/triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (60/40 wt%), the surface of the filler was hydrophobically treated with a silane coupling agent. A visible light system of camphorquinone photo-initiator and 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate photo-accelerator was utilized to activate the PDRNC. Esthetic properties of PDRNC was investigated by measuring the Hunter L, a, b values and it was discovered that PDRNC produced in this work showed excellent esthetic properties with an increase in 7 nm nanofiller content.

  • Increased demand for esthetic restorations has promoted a growing interest in tooth-colored restorations even in the posterior regions. Preparation for specific types of indirect inlay and onlays may vary because of differences in fabrication steps for each commercial system and variations in the physical properties of the restorative materials. Preparations for indirect inlay/onlay basically are meant to provide adequate thickness for restorative material and at the same time a passive insertion pattern with rounded internal angles and well defined margins after deciding what type of restoration is indicated.(omitted)

  • With the increase of esthetic demands, most patients want to have restorations which are not only functional but also esthetic. For the esthetic restoration, many ceramic systems have been introduced and applied in dentistry. Among those ceramic restorations, IPS e.max system composed of lithium disilicate glass ceramic is one of the most commonly used systems because it has strength and esthetic characteristics. IPS e.max system is divided into IPS e.max Press and IPS e.max CAD according to the manufacturing methods. IPS e.max Press is fabricated through heat-pressed technique with ceramic ingot, which is very simple. The restorations which are made using IPS e.max system can apply to 3 units restoration for the anterior teeth and premolar, and single posterior tooth restoration. Cementation is one of the most important clinic procedure for the longevity of the restorations. All ceramics are bonded by resin cements, it is classified into three groups including adhesive, self-adhesive, and conventional. Variolink N, which is an adhesive resin cement and manufactured by same company with IPS e.max, is recommended for the bonding of IPS e.max restoration. Conventional and self-adhesive resin cement is also available. The aim of this review article is to provide the understanding of material properties, production procedure and clinical application of IPS e.max system.

  • The improvement of esthetic dentistry has been accelerated from the development of composite resin and dentin-enamel adhesive since 1980's. The indirect composite resin restorations have more accurate proximal contact point and occlusal form than direct restoration. And the side effect of resin shrinkage is minimal because the amount of composite used in oral cavity is limited in cement space. As a results, marginal leakage, hypersensitivity, secondary caries, and discoloration are significantly diminished. The first generation laboratory composite resin used in indirect resin restoration had been widespread in 1980's and the second generation laboratory composite resins were developed in 1990's. The second generation laboratory composite resins are called Ceramic Polymer. The physical properties of Ceramic Polymer are improved because of high content of inorganic filler, and the esthetics and biocompatibility are better than that of the first generation resin. So the application range using composite resin have been broadened. The purpose of this paper is to introduce Targis & Vectris system that is classified to second generation laboratory composite and to report several cases in which the system was utilized for restoration.

  • The black triangle is a common clinical finding in aged people with gingival recessions. Among other prosthetic treatment molalities such as composite resin filling and laminate venners, the all ceramic restoration procedure can lead to most successful result. With improved bonding strength and ceramic properties, the tooth preparation design for all-ceramic crown can be modified to minimize the reduction of sound tooth structure without loosing properties of conventional preparation design. Case selection is an important factor in acheiving succesful prosthesis. In this case report, the leucite reinforced pressable ceramic, $Authentic^{TM}$ [Ceramay, Germany] was used to fabricate the prosthesis.
