Abstract

This article presents a clinical workflow for the predictable restoration of anterior teeth with minimally invasive ceramic veneers. After patient data including digital images and impressions are collected, a plaster master cast is made and a digital smile design is created. The expected outcome is discussed with the patient and a silicone template is used to prepare a diagnostic resin mock-up; this step is very useful in helping the patient to understand the treatment plan. The mockup of the veneers is performed using either a direct or an indirect approach. A definitive impression is taken after a minimally invasive preparation. Finally, the ceramic veneers are cemented. Feldspathic ceramic or lithium disilicate-reinforced glass-ceramic is chosen depending upon the patient's esthetic needs, the occlusal pattern, and the thickness of the veneers. The proposed step-by-step workflow--in which clinician-patient communication plays an essential role--enables the clinician to predictably achieve an ideal esthetic outcome with a minimally invasive approach.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of two chemotherapeutic agents against bacterial forms responsible for prosthesis-related infections.The evaluation was made on the basis of a count using optical microscope 1000x after GRAM staining of the main bacterial forms found in periprosthetic inflammatory exudate both before and after treatment. Two drugs used: ornidazole and minocycline. A group of 20 patients were studied (12 women and 8 men) aged between 42 and 71 years old with an advanced stage of periprosthetic inflammatory pathology. The pharmacological protocol was administered to the two groups of patients for a period of approximately 15 days.At the end of treatment there was a marked reduction in all the bacterial forms involved in periprosthetic pathology in both groups, with a gradual recovery of normal bacterial flora (gram forms) coupled with a clinical improvement in the implant sites examined.Given the specificity of action shown by ornidazole against pathogenic anaerobic, gram-; bacteroides and sporigenic forms, it is recommended for systemic use against prosthesis-related inflammatory disease.

Abstract

Aim of this research is to verify the efficacy of metronidazole dental gel 25%, used as a topical antibiotic for the treatment of peri-implantitis. The efficacy of the medicine in the starting phase of the disease (mucositis), as well as during peri-implantitis involving bone-bearing loss has been evaluated.Twenty patients were chosen as a sample for the study. After careful evaluation of the several protocols concerning peri-implantitis treatment, some diagnostic clinical parameters have been recorded for each patient and metronidazole dental gel 25% (Elyzol Cabon) has been administered in two applications at perimplants pocket (one after a week). For each patient 3 microbiological drawings were made for the evaluation of the bacterial population around the implant site.From the microbiological examination a decrease of Gram- and an increase of Gram+ which returned in almost all the patients to normal levels have been observed; moreover, in all the patients a gradual decrease of PMN, resolution index of the inflammatory process was obtained, confirmed also by a remarkable improvement of all the observed diagnostic parameters, except for the peri-implants bone radiotransparency which was unchanged.The research showed that the peri-implant diseases can be positively resolved by using the metronidazole dental gel 25% topical antibiotic. This drug led to a 60-70% decrease of Gram-, and 40-50% increase for Gram+, bringing these back to normal values in almost all the patients. Moreover, a good recovery of the peri-implants soft tissues has been observed.
