Abstract
OBJECTIVES Aim of this prospective study was to assess full mouth rehabilitation of severe tooth wear patients using minimally invasive CAD/CAM resin-based composite (RBC) restorations and direct veneers by evaluating restoration survival up to 5.5-years. METHODS Twenty-two patients with generalized severe tooth wear with functional and/or esthetic problems were included. Following minimally invasive preparation, CAD/CAM RBC restorations (LAVA Ultimate,3M) were adhesively luted, direct RBC veneers (Filtek Supreme XTE, 3M) were applied in the aesthetic region. Patients were recalled after 1m,1y,3y,5y and seen in between recalls by their general dentists or at the clinical study center if complaints occurred. Failures were categorized as F1 (severe deficiencies requiring replacement/extraction), F2 (localized deficiencies requiring re-cementation/repair) and F3 (small chippings requiring refurbishment/monitoring). Survival of indirect restorations was evaluated using lifetables and Kaplan-Meier-graphs, distinguishing between failure categories and tooth type (front teeth=FT, premolars=PM, molars=M). F1 + F2 and F1 + F2 + F3 failures were analyzed using Cox regression on the variables tooth type/ location, age, gender and VDO increase (p < 0.05). RESULTS 568 indirect restorations and 200 direct veneers in 21 patients evaluated for up to 5.5-years. For indirect restorations, 96 failures were recorded (F1:6;F2:41;F3:49) and annual failure rates were 0.29%(FT), 1.56%(PM), 2.93%(M) for F1 +F2 and 0.53%(FT), 2.42%(PM), 6.11%(M) for F1 + F2 + F3. Reasons for failure were chipping fracture (48), adhesive fracture (32), complete debonding (7), caries (4), endodontic treatment (1) and reasons unknown (documentation general dentists, 4). Molar tooth type had a statistically significantly increased probability of failure compared with front teeth and premolars for F1 + F2 + F3 (p < 0.006). Direct veneer restorations showed 18 failures (F1:2;F2:9;F3:7). SIGNIFICANCE Minimally invasive CAD/CAM RBC restorations combined with direct RBC veneers showed an acceptable clinical mid-term survival for restorative rehabilitation of severely worn dentitions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tooth wear is a multifactorial complex process related to the loss of dental tissue, due to chemical or mechanical processes, by abrasion, attrition, erosion. Restorative treatment represents an attempt to rebuild and recreate the lost structure. OBJECTIVE This scoping review aims to investigate whether restorative treatment of worn dentition (either with direct or indirect adhesive composite adhesive procedures or with prosthetic techniques) can have an impact on the masticatory performance parameters. METHODS A scoping review was conducted on multiple databases (Pubmed, Medline CENTRAL, ICTRP), following the PRISMA guidelines. Abstracts of research papers were screened for suitability, and full-text articles were obtained for those who satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS Only one article meet the inclusion criteria of the review. Restorative treatment of worn dentition although have a positive impact on the self-report ability to chew, has no effect on the masticatory performance test. CONCLUSION At the moment, not enough evidence to comment on the actual therapeutic role of restorative treatment on tooth wear is available. Clinicians, before taking any clinical decision, should carefully discuss with patients the needs and expectations of the treatment plan.

Abstract
Patients with tooth wear are commonly encountered in general dental practice. When indicated, restorative rehabilitation is often accompanied by a request from the patient for an aesthetic, tooth-coloured outcome. This article seeks to provide an evidence-based approach, focussing on the longevity of the materials which can be used for the restorative treatment of tooth wear, as well as their modes of failure and observed performance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pathological tooth wear is an increasing concern and may require intervention and occlusal rehabilitation. Often the treatment includes distalisaton of the mandible to restore the dentition in centric relation. Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is another condition treated my mandibular repositioning but in this case by an advancement appliance. The authors have a concern that there could be a group of patients with both conditions where distalisation for their tooth wear management would be contrary to their OSA treatment. This paper aims to look at this potential risk. METHODS A literature search was carried out using the following keywords (OSA or sleep apnoea or apnea or snoring or AHI or Epworth score) and for tooth surface loss (TSL or distalisation or centric relation or tooth wear or full mouth rehabilitation). RESULTS No studies were identified which considered the effect of mandibular distalisation on OSA. CONCLUSION There is a theoretical risk that dental treatment involving distalisation may adversely affect patients at risk of OSA or worsening their condition due to the modification of airway patency. Further study is recommended.

Abstract
Providing restorative dental care for patients with tooth wear can, at times, seem complex and demanding. The key to this process lies in a systematic approach that breaks down the component parts. In this chapter, the importance of a comprehensive assessment at the outset will be highlighted. This should include identification of the patient's chief complaint, taking a thorough history, completing the clinical examination, undertaking any special tests and arriving at clinical diagnoses. Together, this information will influence the treatment planning process, identify appropriate treatment concepts and options available and the individual stages that may be involved. The process should be both holistic and thorough to enable the patient and clinician to build a clear pathway and vision. In parallel, and with patient input throughout, it is essential to manage patient expectations as best as possible whilst remaining pragmatic and honest about treatment outcomes, longevity of restorations and the risks of failure.

Abstract
PURPOSE This retrospective case series of 9 patients aimed to describe clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction following the implementation of the posterior Dahl concept to manage localized posterior tooth wear. MATERIALS AND METHODS Localized occlusal space was created in the posterior dentition. Supra-occluding direct restorations were placed bilaterally for the restoration of molars. Intraoral scans were taken at the pre-treatment stage, immediately post-restoration, and during follow-up appointments. Scans were used to undertake analysis of any occlusal changes and re-establishment of the occlusion. A questionnaire was used to assess patient satisfaction, alleviation of any pre-treatment concerns, and evaluation of post-treatment complaints. RESULTS Immediately post-treatment, all patients showed an increase in the vertical dimension. Opening of the bite in the untreated areas following restoration of worn posterior molars resulted either in a tendency towards or the actual reestablishment of the occlusion. One patient completely lacked compensatory vertical tooth movement in the untreated areas, culminating in the persistence of a vertical open bite. One restoration displayed cohesive fracture after 4 months. Pre-treatment problems (eg, sensitivity) were fully resolved amongst all patients after 6 months. Post-treatment complaints were minor and demonstrated resolution within a relatively short period of time. Eight patients reported being "very satisfied" with their treatment outcomes. CONCLUSION Application of the posterior Dahl concept appears to offer a promising, relatively simple, minimally invasive and effective approach for the management of localized posterior tooth wear, which is well accepted by patients.

Abstract
The rehabilitation of severely worn teeth is a complex challenge for dental practitioners. There are many different types of dental materials and restorative techniques, and there is not a single way to achieve the desired result. This clinical report demonstrates a complete oral rehabilitation with composite resins when using an indirect application and direct techniques, with the support of the Lucia Jig technique, the Willis technique, and diagnostic waxing for the vertical dimension correction. The wide clinical improvement was achieved with the recovery of the function, the esthetics, and the increase of vertical dimension of occlusion through the planned treatment. The proposed treatment maintained the natural teeth, without the intense wear by the application of the composite resins instead of ceramics, together with excellent conditions for the patient to control the posttreatment and extend the durability, with the correct follow-up of appointments. Young patients with extensive dental wear and the loss of vertical dimension should not be directly submitted to ceramic treatments, with preparations for full crowns. Oral rehabilitation using composite resins, either directly or indirectly, allows for the recovery of the function and esthetics, without the intense predictable dental wear, and reduced financial investment.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the digital workflow applied for restoring a severely worn dentition with minimally invasive CAD/CAM resin nano-composite restorations. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 40-year-old male in good general health and with full-arch dentition suffered from dentin hypersensitivity and wanted to improve the esthetics of his worn anterior teeth. The dental wear can be described as general, grade 3, according to the Tooth Wear Index,27 with more wear in maxillary than in mandibular teeth. Signs and symptoms were typical for a chemical type of wear, with some mechanical wear also apparent. No functional problems, eg, impaired chewing, were present. On the OHIP-49 questionnaire, the patient expressed a reduced quality of life. The goal of the treatment was to reconstruct the anatomical form of the teeth as far as possible, thereby also improving quality of life. Due to the rather large volume of lost tooth tissue per tooth, indirect treatment using CAD/CAM resin nano-composite restorations (LAVA Ultimate, 3M Oral Care) was applied. RESULTS The seating of the CAD/CAM resin nano-composite restorations (LAVA Ultimate, 3M Oral Care) restorations was considered precise. CONCLUSION In the treatment of severe tooth wear, the described digital workflow using CAD/CAM restorations for occluding restorations and direct composite materials in the esthetic zone is a potential treatment modality that is workable and minimally invasive.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the clinical performance of minimally invasive, CAD/CAM nano-ceramic (composite) restorations in patients with severe tooth wear, the effect of the restorative treatment on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), and the etiology of tooth wear as a risk factor for restoration failure. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with generalized severe tooth wear were included. Restorations (LAVA Ultimate, 3M Oral Care) were cemented (RelyX Ultimate, 3M Oral Care) on all teeth and were evaluated after 1 month and 1 year. OHRQoL was assessed via questionnaires at baseline and after 1 year. Differences were evaluated (paired t-test). Two mechanical tooth-wear lesions resulting from tooth-tooth contact, and 3 chemical tooth wear lesions resulting from intrinsic or extrinsic acids dissolving natural hard tooth substance, were evaluated to assess the etiology of tooth wear in association with restoration failure using multilevel logistic regression analyses (p < 0.05). RESULTS Twenty-one patients (age: 41.7 ± 10.4 years) were evaluated after 1 year (13.5 ± 1.2 months). 568 indirect CAD/CAM restorations were placed. None were replaced or lost. Twelve were repaired and 10 were refurbished. Success rates were 100% to 97.2%. Questionnaires showed a significant positive impact of the treatment on OHRQoL (p < 0.001). The presence of mechanical lesions did not pose a higher risk for restoration failure (p = 0.78). The presence of chemical lesions showed a lower risk of restoration failure (p = 0.002). CONCLUSION The use of minimally invasive, CAD/CAM nano-ceramic (composite) restorations in the restorative treatment of severely worn dentitions showed satisfactory results in the short term.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study investigated the ability of two chewing simulation devices to emulate in vitro the clinical deterioration observed in anterior composite restorations in severe tooth-wear patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Advanced tooth wear was simulated in bovine incisors, which were restored with palatal and buccal direct composite veneer restorations. The incisal edges of restorations were subjected to 960K cycles of either compressive loading (Biocycle-V2; 125 N at 2 Hz) or wear and mechanical loading (Rub and Roll; 30 N at 20 rpm). Surface degradation was rated using FDI scores to compare the chewing devices (Fisher's test, a = 0.05). Topography and deterioration of restorations was analyzed using SEM. The ability to emulate the deterioration was investigated by comparing the surface degradation observed in vitro with the clinical degradation observed in restorations placed in severe tooth-wear patients after 3.5 years. RESULTS Distinct degradation patterns were observed between the simulation devices: Biocycle-V2 generated deterioration that was not comparable to the clinical situation, including contact damage, minor wear, and localized roughening. The degradation caused by Rub and Roll was more similar to the in vivo situation, including wear facets, chipping, delamination, staining, and marginal ditching. The FDI scores were different between the chewing devices for surface/marginal staining, material/retention, and marginal adaptation (p = 0.003). SEM analysis showed microcracking at the interface between composite layers at the incisal edges. CONCLUSIONS The Rub and Roll chewing device was able to emulate the clinical deterioration observed in anterior restorations in severe tooth-wear patients and thus may be used as an oral-cavity simulation method, contributing to translational research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the 5.5-year performance of direct resin composite restorations, prescribed for patients with severe tooth wear, requiring full-mouth rehabilitation. METHODS A convenience sample of 34 patients were recruited to a prospective trial between December 2010 and June 2013. The participants were provided 1269 full-mouth direct resin composite restorations (Clearfil AP-X) by 5 experienced operators, using the DSO-technique. Treatment resulted in an increase in the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO). Failure was assessed at three levels. Frequencies of failure were analysed using Kaplan Meier survival curves and the effects of the relevant variables calculated with a multifactorial Cox regression (p < 0.05). RESULTS Annual failure rates (for all levels of failure, 'Level 3- ') of ≤ 2.2% and ≤ 2.9% were respectively reported for the anterior and posterior restorations with a mean observation time of 62.4 months. The completion of an anterior restoration with the need for further appointments resulted in significantly more Level 2- & 3- failures. An evaluation of the performance of the premolar and posterior maxillary restorations showed significantly lowered risks of certain types of failures, compared to the molar and posterior mandibular restorations. CONCLUSIONS At 5.5 years, 2.3% of the overall restorations displayed catastrophic, (Level 1) failures. Molar restorations, posterior mandibular restorations and the anterior restorations requiring two further sessions for completion, were associated with significantly higher risks for failure. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Direct resin composite can offer an acceptable medium-term option for the treatment of severe, generalized tooth wear; molar restorations may require higher maintenance.

Abstract
Excessive tooth wear is currently one of the main problems of oral health. Excessive tooth wear affects both function and aesthetics. Teeth with excessive tooth wear cannot be effectively used for biting and chewing food. Treating excessive tooth wear is complex and time consuming. Studies on increasing the effectiveness of treatment of such patients are relevant. The study involved 60 people with a significant degree of excessive tooth wear and a decrease in the height of the bite. We examined patients using measurements of the electromyographic (EMG) activity of mm.masseter and temporalis. The subjects were divided into two groups - in the first group (30 people), the maxillofacial system was prepared for further prosthetics by wearing a removable dental splint-teethguard, in the second group (30 people) we used both removable splint-teethguards and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). In both groups, an electromyographic study of mm.masseter and temporalis was performed after 1 week, 1 and 2 months of treatment. In patients with excessive tooth wear and a significant decrease in bite height, our method of preparation for orthopedic treatment contributed to a more rapid normalization of mm.masseter and temporalis functions. The results indicate a pronounced positive effect of the use of removable teeth guard and TENS on the normalization of the bioelectric activity of the masticatory muscles in the preparation of patients for orthopedic treatment of excessive tooth wear.

Abstract
Excessively worn dentition is a clinical condition that mainly impacts the esthetic appearance of patients. In many cases, this may even extend to affect their psychologic condition and social interaction, and consequently reduce their quality of life. The treatment steps of such cases involve comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis, a rigid rehabilitation plan, and a careful and well-structured treatment execution. To facilitate long-term success, patient compliance and a strict recall program should be implemented. The case report presented in this article provides a step-by-step description of the treatment of an excessively worn dentition with the aid of the digital workflow.

Abstract
According to the Fifth German Oral Health Study, the caries experience in the German population is declining sharply. The number of teeth still present at an advanced age has also increased significantly in recent decades. This shows a clear trend towards long-term tooth preservation - possibly with fixed dental prostheses - which is further supported by the possibility to place implants to increase the number of abutments. The pronounced decline in caries experience has given Germany a leading international position in terms of dental health. But there is increasing evidence of risks associated with dental hard-tissue damage because of erosion/biocorrosion, attrition, and abrasion. The defect morphology of these wear-related lesions is different from that of caries lesions; occlusal surfaces are more often affected in the posterior region. Against this background, restorative treatment concepts have become significantly more differentiated in recent decades. Predominantly subtractive concepts to provide mechanical retention for the restoration using traditional cements are now replaced by less invasive, primarily defect-oriented procedures wherever feasible. In the case of pronounced dental hard-tissue loss, additive approaches also allow restorations that restore function. In addition, there are modifications of traditional procedures, such as defining the treatment goal in the lead-up to the treatment itself with the aid of a diagnostic wax-up. The wax-up provides orientation for the subsequent tooth preparation and allows a particularly economical approach to the removal of healthy dental hard tissue. Furthermore, the introduction of new preparation designs has contributed significantly to the preservation of dental hard tissue on the teeth to be restored. This article describes the principles of minimally invasive treatment using occlusal onlays for the reconstruction of severely worn occlusal surfaces.

Abstract
This paper presents European expert consensus guidelines on the management of severe tooth wear. It focuses on the definition of physiological vs pathological tooth wear and recommends diagnosis, prevention, counseling, and monitoring aimed at elucidating the etiology, nature, rate and means of controlling pathological tooth wear. Management decisions are multifactorial, depending principally on the severity and effects of the wear and the wishes of the patient. Restorative intervention is typically best delayed as long as possible. When such intervention is indicated and agreed upon with the patient, a conservative, minimally invasive approach is recommended, complemented by supportive preventive measures. Examples of adhesive, minimum-intervention management protocols are presented.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of two methods of application of a mild one-step self-etch adhesive and composite resin as compared with a resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) control restoration in noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs). METHODS: A total of 294 restorations were placed in 56 patients, 98 in each one of the following groups: 1) G-Bond active application combined with Solare-X composite resin (A-1SEA), 2) G-Bond passive application combined with Solare-X composite resin (P-1SEA), and 3) GC II LC RMGIC. The restorations were evaluated at baseline and after six, 12, and 18 months according to the FDI criteria for fractures/retention, marginal adaptation, marginal staining, postoperative sensitivity, and secondary caries. Cumulative failure rates were calculated for each criterion at each recall period. The effect of adhesive, method of application, and recall period were assessed. The Kruskal-Wallis test for intergroup comparison and Friedman and Wilcoxon signed ranks tests for intragroup comparison were used for each criterion ( α=0.05). RESULTS: The retention rates at 18 months were 93.26% for the A-1SEA group, 86.21% for the P-1SEA group, and 90.91% for the RMGIC group. The active application improved the retention rates compared with the passive application of mild one-step self-etch adhesive; however, no statistically significant difference was observed between the groups. Marginal staining was observed in 13 restorations (1 in A-1SEA, 4 in P-1SEA, and 8 in RMGIC) with no significant difference between the groups. The RMGIC group showed a significant increase in marginal staining at 12 and 18 months from the baseline. There was no significant difference between the groups for marginal adaptation, secondary caries, or postoperative sensitivity. CONCLUSION: Within the limitations of the study, we can conclude that mild one-step self-etch adhesive followed by a resin composite restoration can be an alternative to RMGIC with similar retention and improved esthetics in restoration of NCCLs. Agitation could possibly benefit the clinical performance of mild one-step self-etch adhesives, but this study did not confirm that the observed benefit was statistically significant.

Abstract
On account of tooth wear, a 30-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman were referred to a clinic for specialised dental services by their general dentist. The man suffered from degradation of hard dental tissues. He was not in pain but had some functional problems. In addition, the diminishing aesthetics bothered him. The woman suffered from pain frequently, had mild functional complaints and a deep bite. Treatment of pathological tooth wear begins with a sound diagnosis and investigating and eliminating aetiological factors. Sufficient motivation on the patient's side is also important. The treatment should be as minimally invasive as possible. When indirect restorations are absent a dynamic treatment plan would be preferred, in which new spatial relations can be tested in composites. For the treatment of localised loss of dental tissue the Dahl Concept might be considered. Both cases emphasise the importance of evaluating the implemented treatment. Long-term follow-up is necessary for the enhancement of knowledge and experience in the interpretation of the aetiology of and approach to severe tooth wear.

Abstract
The treatment or management of tooth wear with composite resins can be challenging because significant alterations in the patient's occlusion are usually required. Comprehensive approaches include the use of facebows, articulator-mounted casts, laboratory-made wax-ups, and silicone indexes to deliver the restorations. Even though this sequence of steps is recommended, in many cases it is not applied. The reason for this is related to the complexity and time required for these steps, which are normally applied in indirect restorations like ceramics but not properly used in direct composite resin rehabilitations. Moreover, a large portion of these patients, clinicians, and technicians in many countries may not have the resources and/or tools to undertake a full comprehensive approach. In order to aid clinicians to use an exclusively direct method to manage these patients for whatever reasons, the authors propose in this article a thought process applied to diagnosis and treatment planning that allows the restoration of extensively worn dentitions in a logical clinical sequence. The first goal is to provide a clear and organized vision of the functional, biologic, and esthetic principles of treatment planning based on the most current, evidence-based notions and clarified insights from experts. These are principles that should be applied universally in any comprehensive treatment plan. The second goal is to propose the application of these principles to direct restorations even when no individualized articulator mounting or appropriate laboratory wax-ups are available - the anatomically driven direct approach (ADA).

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is well known that treatment variation exists in oral healthcare, but the consequences for oral health are unknown as the development of outcome measures is still in its infancy. The aim of this study was to identify and develop outcome measures for oral health and explore their performance using health insurance claims records and clinical data from general dental practices. METHODS The Dutch healthcare insurance company Achmea collaborated with researchers, oral health experts, and general dental practitioners (GDPs) in a proof of practice study to test the feasibility of measures in general dental practices. A literature search identified previously described outcome measures for oral healthcare. Using a structured approach, identified measures were (i) prioritized, adjusted and added to after discussion and then (ii) tested for feasibility of data collection, their face validity and discriminative validity. Data sources were claims records from Achmea, clinical records from dental practices, and prospective, pre-determined clinical assessment data obtained during routine consultations. RESULTS In total eight measures (four on dental caries, one on tooth wear, two on periodontal health, one on retreatment) were identified, prioritized and tested. The retreatment measure and three measures for dental caries were found promising as data collection was feasible, they had face validity and discriminative validity. Deployment of these measures demonstrated variation in clinical practices of GDPs. Feedback of this data to GDPs led to vivid discussions on best practices and quality of care. The measure 'tooth wear' was not considered sufficiently responsive; 'changes in periodontal health score' was considered a controversial measure. The available data for the measures 'percentage of 18-year-olds with no tooth decay' and 'improvement in gingival bleeding index at reassessment' was too limited to provide accurate estimates per dental practice. CONCLUSIONS The evaluated measures 'time to first restoration', 'distribution of risk categories for dental caries', 'filled-and-missing score' and 'retreatment after restoration', were considered valid and relevant measures and a proxy for oral health status. As such, they improve the transparency of oral health services delivery that can be related to oral health outcomes, and with time may serve to improve these oral health outcomes.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the influence of different polishing systems on the surface roughness of composite resins following procedures to simulate the effects of toothbrushing over time. Four currently available commercial composites were used to make 128 cylindrical specimens. The specimens were randomly allocated to polishing with a 1-step polisher or 1 of 3 multistep polishers (n = 8 per group). The baseline surface roughness was measured, and the specimens were submitted to 5000, 10,000, and 20,000 brushing cycles to represent toothbrushing throughout 6, 12, and 24 months, respectively. Results showed that surface roughness was influenced by the type of composite and polishing system and was not influenced by the simulated toothbrushing time. However, the surface roughness, as challenged by toothbrushing wear, was affected by the interaction among the composite, the polisher, and the toothbrushing time. The 1-step polisher produced the highest surface roughness and influenced toothbrushing wear resistance of some composites.

Abstract
Direct composite resin restorations have been recognized for their valuable clinical service and respect of intact hard tissue. The cost-effectiveness and inherent minimally invasive approach of resin-based materials means that they are also gaining popularity for use in computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacture (CAD/CAM) procedures. Several cases from the student clinics at the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC are presented that could have been resolved either with direct composite resin restorations or with indirect porcelain veneers. A novel semi-indirect CAD/CAM approach, characterized by its absolute noninvasiveness and simplicity, was chosen instead. The bilaminar restoration consists of a customized histoanatomical CAD/CAM dentin base (incisoproximal cutback), and a generic enamel skin. The patients can be treated either in one clinical session (semi-directly) or in two clinical sessions (semi-indirectly). The purpose of this article is to present another tool from the anterior restorative armamentarium to bridge the gap between direct and indirect techniques.

Abstract
Tooth wear is a condition that affects a substantial cohort of dental patients. It has a measurable impact on patients' satisfaction, and overall quality of life. Recently, with growing evidence, our understanding of the aetiology, progression, and management of tooth wear has evolved. The paper argues that pathological tooth wear should not be solely considered as a dental condition, but rather a dental manifestation of other mental and medical disorders. As such, successful management of tooth wear, and its underlying aetiology, requires a holistic, multidisciplinary management approach, involving dental, medical, and mental healthcare providers.

Abstract
The successful management of the worn mandibular anterior dentition may present an awkward challenge to the dental operator. The purpose of this article is to describe a case report illustrating the use of a guided, three-dimensional protocol for the ultra-conservative and predictable restoration of the worn lower anterior dentition using direct resin composite. This technique utilizes information based on established biomechanical and occlusal principles to fabricate a diagnostic wax-up, which is duplicated in dental stone. This is used to prepare a vacuum-formed modified stent, assisting the clinician to place directly bonded resin composite restorations to restore the worn lower anterior dentition. The technique, described in 2012 and referred to as 'injection moulding' has the potential to offer optimal form, function and an aesthetic outcome in an efficient manner. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This article aims to describe an alternative technique to simplify the processes involved with restoration of worn lower anterior teeth.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the one-year clinical performance of composite restorations in noncarious cervical lesions placed in smoking and non-smokers using a multimode adhesive system with two adhesive strategies. MATERIALS AND METHODS Among the selected cervical lesions, four experimental groups were formed based on the patients' smoking habit and bonding strategies with a multimode adhesive system (n = 38): G1: etchand- rinse in non-smokers; G2: selective enamel etching in non-smokers; G3: etch-and-rinse in smokers; G4: selective enamel etching in smokers. The restorations were paired, ie, each patient received at least two restorations. A nanofilled resin composite was applied and light cured incrementally in all groups by one operator. Two calibrated examiners evaluated the restorations at baseline, 6 and 12 months after placement. The modified USPHS criteria were used for evaluation. Data were analyzed using the chi-square (for associations between groups) and McNemar tests. RESULTS No statistically significant difference was found between groups for the criteria of retention, marginal discoloration, color match, marginal integrity, or sensitivity after 6 and 12 months. The assessments over time showed a statistically significant difference only for marginal discoloration at 12 months for groups 1, 3, and 4 when compared to baseline (p = 0.031). There were no statistical differences for any criteria evaluated among smokers and non-smokers, except for color match, where a difference was found after the baseline evaluation. Regarding the adhesive strategy, etch-and-rinse resulted in a clinical performance similar to that of selective enamel etching over 12 months. CONCLUSION Neither cigarette smoking habit nor adhesive strategy influenced the clinical performance of resin composite cervical restorations over the first year.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the influence of operator experience on adhesive technique and to assess the clinical performances of two different adhesive systems. METHODS 90 cervical lesions in 42 subjects, with a mean age of 52.4 years (range between 32-63) were selected. Lesions were divided into two groups according to operator experience (n = 42 restorations performed by a skilled operator, n = 48 restorations performed by five unexperienced operators) and further divided into two subgroups according to the adhesive system used: three-step etch-and-rinse (Optibond FL) or one step self-etch (G-Bond). Adhesives were applied according to manufacturers' instructions. Subjects underwent follow-up at 12, 24, and 36 months and restoration retention, enamel and dentin marginal integrity, marginal discoloration, caries occurrence, post-operative sensitivity, and preservation of tooth vitality were evaluated according to USPSH criteria. ANOVA test was performed to evaluate the influence of the adhesive system, the operator experience, and aging on restorations. RESULTS Operator experience (expert vs. inexperienced), aging time (12, 24, or 36 months), and the adhesive system (self-etch vs. etch-and-rinse) all affected the results statistically, as did the interaction between the adhesive system and operator experience.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this randomized, controlled, single-center, split-mouth clinical trial was to evaluate the clinical performance of a self-adhesive flowable composite resin (SAFC) in noncarious cervical lesions in comparison with a nanohybrid composite applied with a three-step etch-and-rinse adhesive system (E&Ra/nanoC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty noncarious cervical lesions were included and assigned to one of two groups according to the split-mouth design. The cervical lesions in the experimental group were restored with an SAFC (Fusio Liquid Dentin), while a nanohybrid composite (G-aenial) applied with a three-step etch-and-rinse adhesive system (Optibond FL) was used for the control group. Clinical evaluation was performed after 1 week and again at 6 months according to FDI criteria. Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon Signed Rank and Mann-Whitney U-tests (α=0.05). RESULTS After 6 months, 27 of the 40 SAFC restorations were in clinically unacceptable condition due to retention failure; this corresponded to a success rate of 33% compared to the success rate of 100% for the E&Ra/ nanoC restorations (p<0.05). For other criteria examined, the difference between the two groups was only statistically significant for color and translucency (p<0.05). CONCLUSION The clinical performance of the SAFC was found to be unacceptable after 6 months of clinical use.

Abstract
Decision-making is a fundamental aspect of clinical dentistry. Advances in technology and trends towards more conservative technologies have broadened the options available to patients and dentists, increasing the range of choices and opportunities to restore teeth. With such a broad range of dental materials, there are a number of factors to consider in making an appropriate choice. We present several decision-making dilemmas. Namely; how to restore worn lower anterior teeth, what to consider when replacing crowns, materials to consider when providing cuspal protection for posterior teeth, and finally the issues to consider when selecting a luting cement. The evidence supporting different clinical choices is considered in a discussion of the various dilemmas faced.

Abstract
When patients seek cosmetic dentistry, their main concern is how their new smile is going to appear. In trying to achieve a patient's desire for a more beautiful smile, a careful and comprehensive analysis must be completed to insure the desired outcome is achievable and will function for many years to come. The clinician's primary goal is to restore the patient's dentition to ideal form and function. Full mouth rehabilitations need to be done in a systematic way to ensure all the parameters of an esthetic and functional outcome are achieved.

Abstract
Crown lengthening surgery aims to increase the amount of supragingival tooth tissue by resection of the soft and/or hard tissues to enable otherwise unrestorable teeth to be restored by increasing the retention and resistance forms of the teeth. Restoration of the worn dentition may require significant prosthodontic knowledge and skill. A prosthodontist should be involved from the beginning of the management of the patient. A number of key stages should be considered for correct management. Although the periodontist may guide the prosthodontist with regards to what may or may not be possible surgically, the overall treatment plan should be prosthodontically driven. Clinical Relevance: Toothwear of the anterior dentition provides a unique challenge to restore not only function but also to manage the aesthetic demands of the patient. To ensure that the correct outcome is reached, clinicians should be familiar with the normal anatomical proportions and relationships to enable planning and treatment to take place.

Abstract
A differential diagnosis of excessive gingival display is critical in determining appropriate treatment options and sequence. Anterior tooth malposition for patients with deep vertical overlap has been suggested as one of the 3 main causes of excessive gingival display. Specifically, patients with Angle class II, division 2 malocclusions show an occlusal scheme that might be responsible for additional anterior tooth wear when compared with individuals without malocclusion. In the long term, this condition can cause dentoalveolar compensation and overeruption of maxillary incisors with concomitant coronal movement of the gingival margin with excessive gingival display. A combined orthodontic and restorative treatment was proposed as a conservative treatment to reposition maxillary anterior teeth and their gingival margins to a more ideal position and create the necessary interocclusal restorative space to restore worn teeth with ceramic restorations, enhance dental and facial esthetics, and reestablish anterior guidance.

Abstract
Porcelain veneers are a minimally invasive technique to enhance patients' smiles. A crucial component in these cases is the supporting periodontal apparatus and its interaction with the restorations. This article addresses basic concepts such as biologic width, altered eruption patterns, appropriate gingival contouring and smile design to give practitioners the tools to diagnose, evaluate and treat cases successfully and predictably.

Abstract
This case involving a male patient with long-standing wear on his anterior teeth demonstrates the importance of an accurate risk profile and prognosis. It also shows an example of a patient who, as is frequently the case, was aware of his problem but chose not to address it until after many years, being finally motivated by a change in marital status. Upon examination, it was determined that the severe attrition was due to the position of the teeth, and the functional diagnosis was a constricted chewing pattern. Orthodontic therapy was a central aspect of the treatment plan, followed initially by a composite trial restoration of the anterior teeth, and, finally, placement of porcelain crowns. Careful communication among the treating dentist, orthodontist, and the dental laboratory at specific phases of the treatment proved to play a pivotal role in achieving an exceptional esthetic result and stable functional bite.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to establish relationship between restorative resin and periodontal tissues of patients with diabetes mellitus. We selected 30 patients, 15 patients with diabetes mellitus with a total of 30 restorations and 15 patients without diabetes mellitus with a total of 49 restorations and the periodontal parameters and restorations parameters were evaluated. The total period was 12 months. The results showed a significant improvement in periodontal parameters assessed (p < 0.05). It may be concluded that over the 12-month period, there was no adverse reaction to periodontal tissue as a result of various polishing regimes of a restorative resin-based composite in patients with diabetes mellitus.
