Abstract
Polymerization shrinkage of methacrylate composites utilizing bisphenol-A glycidal methacylate or urethane dimethacrylate has typically been about 3-3.5% by volume. Though adjustments have been made to filler loading, filler size, filler particle distribution, and improved silanization, the polymerization contraction still creates some significant clinical problems. A new composite utilizing a completely different chemistry has been released, with polymerization shrinkage of less than one percent. This article will review the clinical effects of polymerization contraction of composite resins, the nature and properties of this chemical form of composite, and potential clinical applications.

Abstract
There are many ways to bond to tooth structure, some micro-mechanical some chemical, some a combination. Different dentin bonding materials have different bonding strengths to differently prepared surfaces, and because of differences in their nature, different areas of tooth structure present peculiar bonding challenges. This paper will review a variety of material types, elucidating their particular bonding strengths and commenting on improved bonding strategies to increase durability, strength, and favorable pulpal response. In this discussion, resin dentin bonding systems, glass ionomers, Gluma, resin cements, and newer combined products will br reviewed.

Abstract
Clinical evaluation of restoration acceptability includes marginal adaptation, restoration and preservation of anatomic form, color match, cavosurface discoloration, and presence of marginal caries. This paper will review what is known about marginal fit of all materials relative to their acceptable fit. Some explanation will be given of how material properties affect marginal fit, what the expected longevity of different materials is relative to marginal fit, and how marginal fit affects development of secondary or marginal caries. Marginal fit is assumed to affect restoration longevity by either encouraging or discouraging microleakage and development of secondary or marginal caries. Marginal fit and its effect on the health of the gingival tissues have been reviewed in an earlier paper on polishing and will not be reviewed here. Is there some correlation between marginal fit of the various materials used in restorative dentistry and this assumption? This paper will review the literature found on Medline and present the science behind the clinical significance of marginal fit utilizing in vitro studies where necessary and in vivo studies whenever possible. Numerous authors replicating these studies are used to improve reliability and replicability.

Abstract
Tooth wear has been described in the literature as physiologic--that is, normal, expected over the life span of an individual, and not creating a pathologic condition. It has also been described in pathologic terms as caused by stress, corrosion, and friction, utilizing a variety of mechanisms and affected by a host of endogenous and exogenous factors. From a clinician's point of view, when should we decide to restore a tooth or change the conditions in the mouth to protect the teeth; and what should we consider using to either prevent or restore abnormal--i.e, pathologic--tooth wear? This review in Part One (Northwest Dentistry, September-October 2009) looked at what is normal, non-pathologic tooth wear and etiologies associated with all forms of tooth wear. Part Two will discuss the effects of tooth wear in enamel and dentin, when it may be advisable to intervene in the wear processes diagnosed on specific patients, and what methods of prevention and restoration can be utilized to restore or maintain the dentition. This review will not look at the need for full mouth reconstruction due to wear.

Abstract
This manuscript will review research from 1967 to the present to find the best evidence for the reconstruction of non-vital teeth. The paper will review the contention that non-vital teeth are "more brittle" by analyzing the relevant physical properties of vital versus non-vital teeth; describe the structures of the tooth used to manage stress and strain; describe the formation of dentinal cracks and propagation of fracture planes through dentin; and analyze forces placed on human teeth and their effects on the tooth in Part One. In Part Two, the paper will describe the strength of various dowel and core designs relative to strength, retention, and durability and describe the results of testing various dentin bonding materials in strength and retention of dowels in non-vital teeth. The review will conclude with recommendations as to the materials and techniques in specific clinical situations best capable of single tooth reconstruction to ensure tooth longevity together with the scientific basis for their adoption.

Abstract
This article will review the relevant literature fom 1991-2003, a period of time when adhesive resin luting materials became available and luting crowns with zinc phosphate cements decreased. The review wtill look at the principles suggesting when a core should be placed, what core materials function best, preparation design with a core, luting material choice with a core, and results of clinical trials. Amalgam cores are regarded as the strongest material, best able to withstand adverse stress and restore teeth having the greatest loss of tooth structure. Composite resins, whether chemically cured or light cured, reinforced or not, appear best capable of core restorationfor moderately broken down teeth. Glass ionomer materials are considered too weak to withstand stress as a core material, but are recommended as a base material tofill in undercuts and improve the accuracy of impression and fit of a crown.

Abstract
This technique creates a direct bonded microfilled composite resin veneer that replicates the complex color distribution and surface texture of the natural tooth structure. Duplicating the complexity of natural tooth color can be repeated by recording the different layers of color used in their sequence of placement.

Abstract
A technique of using macrofilled and microfilled composite resins in conjunction with tints and opaquers has been described. The technique achieves a more realistic color distribution in large composite resin restorations, such as Class IV restorations, diastema closures, veneers, and large Class III restorations. In placing more natural distributions of color in composite resin restorations, a more pleasing appearance can be achieved.

Abstract
Ninety extracted human teeth were used to compare the microleakage of composite resin over, amalgam core, and regular crown preparations under a complete cast gold crown cemented with zinc phosphate cement as determined by 2% fluorescein dye solution. Specimens were compared with and without aging after cementation in a thermal bath by cycling some of them between 4 degrees C and 60 degrees C in a 2% fluorescein dye bath and others in a similar bath held at 37 degrees C. Fluorescein dye (under ultraviolet light) demonstrated microleakage of the specimens between the crown-tooth interface and the core-tooth interface. There were no significant differences in the microleakage due to aging. The specimens held at 37 degrees C in the fluorescein dye bath showed no significant differences between the core preparations and the regular crown preparations. However, when specimens were thermally cycled between 4 degrees C and 60 degrees C, there were significant differences. With thermal cycling, the regular crown preparations were better able to resist microleakage at the crown-tooth interface than either the composite resin core or the amalgam core preparations. The results of this investigation seem to indicate a need for further evaluation of core build-ups under cemented complete gold crowns.
