Digital communication is also increasing, which is accompanied by a change from a personal contact to a more technocratic and less emotional and empathic communication. Sometimes our personal experiences and perceptions, based on dental, empirical knowledge, collide with this development. It also happens very often, that the patients - with their perceptions, concerns and not least their esthetic preferences - feel neglected by the treatment team. Patient's wishes often cannot be described adequately. The patient-supported esthetic protocol (PEP) described in this article is a simple tool with which the patients are involved in the esthetic concerns of their treatment. The patient feels to be more perceived, respected, and their wishes implemented, without affecting the medical therapy. At the same time, PEP is used for communication within the health care team, such as the dentist and the dental technician. Because of the clear record it is easy to recognize the changes the patient desires, and the suggestions a teammate developed with the patient, without having been present at the session. Furthermore, the protocol can be attached to the patient's medical history and, therefore, could be a tool for quality management. </p>","PeriodicalId":88322,"journal":{"name":"The European journal of esthetic dentistry : official journal of the European Academy of Esthetic Dentistry","volume":"8 4","pages":"492-505"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40305320","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}

{"title":"Adhesively restored anterior maxillary dentitions affected by severe erosion: up to 6-year results of a prospective clinical study.","authors":"Francesca Vailati,&nbsp;Linda Gruetter,&nbsp;Urs Christoph Belser","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Unlabelled: </strong>In case of severe dental erosion, the maxillary anterior teeth are often particularly affected. Restoring such teeth conventionally (ie, crowns) would frequently involve elective endodontic therapy and major additional loss of tooth structure. A novel, minimally invasive approach to restore eroded teeth has been developed and is currently being tested in the form of a prospective clinical trial, termed The Geneva Erosion Study. To avoid crowns, two separate veneers with different paths of insertion have been used to restore the affected anterior maxillary teeth, regardless of clinical crown length and amount of remaining enamel. This treatment is called The Sandwich Approach.</p><p><strong>Objectives: </strong>The purpose of this case series study was to analyze the mid-term clinical outcome of maxillary anterior teeth affected by severe dental erosion that were restored following the Sandwich Approach.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>Twelve consecutively consulting patients (mean age: 39.4 years) suffering from advanced dental erosion have been enrolled in the study and were subsequently treated. Due to the late interception of the disease, all patients needed a full-mouth rehabilitation, which was performed without any conventional crowns. At the level of the maxillary anterior teeth, a total of 70 palatal indirect composite restorations and 64 facial feldspathic ceramic veneers were delivered. Both types of veneers were adhesively luted with a hybrid composite. Clinical reevaluations were performed 6 months after insertion of the veneers, and then annually, using modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria. Marginal adaptation, marginal integrity (seal, absence of infiltration), status of pulp vitality, postoperative sensitivity, esthetics, and restoration success/failure, were the principal clinical parameters analyzed.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>After an up to 6-year observation time (mean observation time 50.3 months for the palatal veneers and 49.6 months for the facial veneers), no complete or major failure of the restorations was encountered. On the basis of the criteria used, most of the veneers rated Alpha for marginal adaptation and marginal seal. Secondary caries or endodontic complications were not detected. Using visual analogue scale analysis, the patient-centered satisfaction revealed a high esthetic and functional acceptance of 94.6%.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Compared to conventional crown preparation, restoring compromised maxillary anterior teeth by means of 2 veneers prevents excessive tooth structure removal and loss of tooth vitality. Questions on the longevity of this new treatment arise, due to the nonfavorable initial status of the teeth to be restored (eg, lack of enamel, sclerotic dentin substrate and short clinical crowns). The clinical performance of the teeth treated following the Sandwich Approach seems promising, since none of the trea","PeriodicalId":88322,"journal":{"name":"The European journal of esthetic dentistry : official journal of the European Academy of Esthetic Dentistry","volume":"8 4","pages":"506-30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40305898","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}

Pairs of enamel and dentin discs (3 mm in diameter) were obtained from 150 bovine teeth. In 75 of the pairs, one specimen had the enamel removed (Dentin Group). The dentin was removed from one specimen of the remaining 75 pairs (Enamel Group) and the other specimen was left unaltered (Enamel + Dentin). The evaluation of color, translucency and fluorescence was performed with a spectrophotometer using the CIE L* a* b*. Each group was subdivided into three subgroups: Control, composed of specimens that were not bleached, and two experimental subgroups, bleached with either 10% carbamide peroxide (CP10%) or 35% hydrogen peroxide (HP35%). The CP10% bleaching gel was applied 2 h/day for 14 days. The HP35% bleaching agent was applied using two applications of 30 min each, with a one week interval between each application. When not being bleached, the specimens were immersed in artificial saliva. The color, translucency and fluorescence ratings were assessed using spectrophotometry 7 days after the treatment. Regarding color, significant differences were found between bleaching techniques in the groups Enamel and Enamel + Dentin, with a higher color difference for HP35%. Bleaching did not change the translucency of the dental tissues.
