There are several methods that may be used, which fall into mechanical, chemo-mechanical and surgical techniques. The application of these methods depends on the clinical activity the clinician is performing, and there are advantages and disadvantages to each method. This review reflects on the current literature available on gingival retraction methods to provide clinicians with guidance on which methods to consider when undertaking the three most common clinical scenarios: master impression taking; cementation of indirect restorations whether tooth or implant retained; and for direct adhesive dentistry. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Selecting an appropriate gingival retraction method, for example for master impression taking, cementation of restorations and in adhesive dentistry is of value.","PeriodicalId":35831,"journal":{"name":"Dental update","volume":"315 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138985795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different materials can be employed depending on whether a subtractive or additive strategy is used. Preference should be given to the latter to help preserve remaining tooth tissue. The use of both direct and indirect materials may yield acceptable survival results when considering data with at least 5 years of follow-up. Patients should be informed that because tooth wear is a continuous process, a certain level of maintenance of the restorations will be necessary and that this may impact on the success of the treatment.

Updated information on gastro-oesophageal reflux, obstructive sleep apnoea, asthma and eating disorders are discussed. Bearing in mind the number of medical conditions that can impact on progression, our job as dentists is to inform the patient of the importance of prevention in other areas of their lives, such as diet and oral hygiene, to mitigate progression.

Although tooth wear is mainly a physiological process, it can become pathological if the wear process is accelerated for various reasons. Since this process is not linear, but can sometimes be inactive and sometimes active, a careful monitoring policy is necessary. The possible monitoring tools are described in this article, and a proposal is made with regard to the frequency of the systematic and periodic collection of information.

People with bulimia ‘binge’, meaning that they eat large amounts of food, and then vomit afterwards to ‘purge themselves’ in order to get rid of those recently ingested calories. Frequent vomiting of the stomach hydrochloric acid and other ingested acids (pH 1–2) produces variable, but often catastrophic, erosion of the palatal aspects of the upper teeth in particular. ‘Satisficing’ is a word made from combining ‘sufficient’ and ‘satisfactory’. It means seeking an outcome that meets the essential requirements for it to be ‘sufficient to be satisfactory for that situation’. These authors recommend pragmatic early additive direct resin composite bonding as being a ‘satisficing’ approach to help manage tooth surface loss in bulimic patients, and the article provides clinical examples of some dental problems caused by bulimia being solved in that way. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This article addresses a number of controversial issues in the dental management of patients with bulimia nervosa (‘bulimia’).","PeriodicalId":35831,"journal":{"name":"Dental update","volume":"72 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136017846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
