All-Ceramic Restorations in Dental Work

All artists are influenced by the culture they are from. Our experiences and the environment in which we were raised shapes us, and thus the works we produce as artists. This essay will discuss, compare and contrast two artists from different cultures, and their ceramic artworks, with a focus on how their cultural background has influenced their art. The artists that will be discussed are Janet Fieldhouse, who is influenced by her Torres Strait Islander heritage and Aboriginal artist Dr. Thancoupie Gloria Fletcher.

Traditional layered porcelain veneers - Our strongest type of veneer. This type of veneer is created from thin layers of porcelain to create a durable shell-like restoration. The restoration is attached to your tooth to cover imperfections.

Dental crowns. Broken, cracked, or decayed tooth? We can repair the structural integrity of your tooth as well as restore your ability to chew comfortably.

Nearly everyone of our patients are referred to us by a general dentist. Certainly, the family dentist is the first dental professional that the patient meets. The family dentist or the general dentist is great at providing generalized dental care for their patients teeth, gums, jaws, and nerves. Furthermore, patients look to the general dentist for basic dental care, cleaning, and checkups to detect dental problems. However, patients are referred to orthodontics services in North Bergen to fix crooked teeth. Our staff is composed of orthodontists that received special training after dental school in treating crooked teeth or teeth alignment.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projected, from 2014 to 2024, an incredible 18% growth in the general dentist job market4. How many unemployed general dentists do you personally know? While they are out there, it’s difficult to find an unemployed dentist since oral care is such an important thing that affects all people. An interesting job trend is occurring that can be witnessed here in Utah Country. Googling “Stonehaven Dental” shows that there are three practices in Utah County. My father, who is a dentist, says that large dental chains like these are becoming more normal and making it more difficult for independent dentists to start individual practices.

It is a mineralized connective tissue formed by osteoblasts. Osteoblasts deposit a matrix of collagen and also release calcium, magnesium and phosphate ions that chemically combine within the collagenous matrix into a crystalline mineral, known as bone mineral, in the form of HA. Therefore, bone tissue is a natural composite consisting of a collagenous matrix and a mineral phase. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new therapeutic materials with the same hybrid structure that combine the strength, stiffness and osteoconductivity of an inorganic component with the flexibility, toughness and resorbability of an organic phase.[13,14] As such, in recent years, researchers have concentrated on developing the polymer/ceramic nanocomposites, which have the advantages of both polymers (structural stability, strength, biocompatibility and desired shape) and ceramics, and are more similar to natural

Having a child that needs a dental crown at such a young age can be a stressful experience. Your dental insurance may only cover a percentage of the dental work, leaving a notable chunk of the bill that you need to pay on your own. A stainless steel crown might be the best choice you can make because of the following benefits it provides.

Teak furniture in Dallas, Jackson's Home & Garden introduces Domiziani a line of stone table and patio tops that are as resilient and sustainable as they are beautiful.

My early research experience has involved areas of dentin bonding, interfacial micromorphology of dentin using different microscopy techniques, such as transmission electron microscope, scanning electron microscope, fluorescence and polarized light microscopes. I have tested bond strength to dentin, evaluated the effect of sodium hypochlorite on dentin with the quality of dentin bonding. This work required teeth processing, micro-sectioning, ultra-thin slide preparation and studying the inter-diffusion zone and depth of bond

With the 580 veneers on 66 patients, several parameters were examined in this study. The type of margins and depth of the preparation, crown lengthening, presence of restoration, diastema, crowding, discoloration, abrasion, and attrition. A cox regression modeling was used to determine which factors would relate and predict porcelain laminate veneer failure. 42 veneers 7.2 percent failed in 23 patients, and an overall survival rate of 86 percent was seen. A significant association was noted between the failure and the limits of the prepared tooth surface including the margin and depth. The most frequent failure type was fracture. A multivariable analysis also showed that veneers bonded to dentin and teeth with preparation margins on dentin were 10 times more likely to have failures than veneers bonded to enamel. A survival rate of 99 percent was observed for veneers with preparations confined to enamel and 94% for veneers with enamel only at the

With over eighteen years of practice in general, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Benjamin Medina is well-known in New York City. His clinic provides a whole array of services including orthodontics, Invisalign® (the breakthrough teeth-straightening alternative to braces), periodontics, endodontics, prosthetics, oral surgery, root canal therapy and cosmetic procedures such as veneers, whitening and Botox.

While visiting the Mint museum there was one partial piece that caught my eye. There was a glass display with three ceramics in it and they were all so beautiful. One of the ceramics was a vase. The vase was from Pisgah Forest Pottery, simply titled Vase, and was created by Walter B. Stephen. This vase was about 14 or 15 inches tall and 7 inches wide and was made in circa 1945. The art on the vase was more realistic than abstract or Non- objective and was made with stoneware clay with a crystalline glaze and had multiple layers of porcelain.

A crown, also called a “cap” is a restoration that covers a tooth to bring it back to its normal shape and size. Crowns are necessary when a tooth is so broken down that fillings are not enough fix the problem. Crowns enhance and improve the appearance of a tooth; they are also used to restore cracked or broken teeth.

The bonding process involves applying a resin onto the damaged tooth surface. The resin is made with a very durable substance, and will bond directly to the tooth after exposing it to a bonding light.
