Prosthodontics-TEETH ARRANGEMENT-1



Each tooth is attached to the occlusal rims based on a few principles.



Teeth arrangement for (MAXILLARY)anterior teeth :


1.Maxillary central incisor:
       A.    The long axis of the tooth is parrallel to the vertical axis when viewed from the front.
       B.    The long axis of the tooth is sloping labially when viewed from the side .
       C.    The incisal edge of the tooth evenly contacts with occlusal plane.

2.Maxillary lateral incisor: 
   A. The long axis of the tooth is tilted towards the mid line  when viewed from the front.
   B. The long axis of the tooth is sloping labially when viewed from the side. The inclination of               the slope is greater than that of the central incisor.
    C. The incisal edge is 2mm above the level of occlusal plane.And the edge is tilted towards               the mid line.
 
3.Maxillary canine: 
    A. The long axis of the tooth is parallel to the vertical axis when viewed from the front.A                        mild mesial tilt is supposed to improve its aesthetics.
    B. The long axis of the tooth is parallel to the vertical axis when viewed from the side.The                           cuspal tip of the canine touches the plane of occlusion. 
    C. The cervical third of the canine should be more prominent than the cuspal third .

How to use digital X-ray Or RVG with Apple iPad , iPhone. The Kodak RVG 6500

iPad Innovation is the key to development and dentistry is not an exception.First there was no radiograph then came conventional radiograph then came high speed radiograph and Digital radiograph or RVG  and now Apple iPad. You will say ( What ! an iPad?)  yes an iPad. It's an innovation by Apple inc.which has been accepted by medical and dental field warmly.I have discussed How to upgrade your dental practice with Apple iPad in earlier post and written about the change this gadget can bring.You can check  10 free iPad application for dentists Today in Digital Radiograph or RVG we shoot an X-ray few moments later it appears on the computer screen and then you interpret it and discuss it with your patients. Now Kodak have made a RVG system which is iPad compatible and if you have an iPad or iPhone you can see and review this X-ray image directly on your gadget write reports and save it. You must have Two thing for it. 1.RVG Mobile software in your iPad...

The Calla lilly prep in endodontics !!

During patient treatment, the clinician needs to consider many factors that will affect the ultimate outcome. In simple terms, these factors can be grouped into 3 categories: (I) operator needs, (II) restoration needs, (III) the tooth needs. (I)The operator needs are the conditions the clinician needs to treat the tooth. (II) The restoration needs are the prep dimensions and tooth conditions for optimal strength and longevity. (III)The tooth needs are the biologic and structural limitations for a treated tooth to remain predictably functional. The Cala Lilly is a flower and is the new model for composite preparations.

tooth fusion vs Concrescence vs gemination

Tooth fusion     The phenomenon of tooth fusion arises through union of two normally separated tooth germs, and depending upon the stage of development of the teeth at the time of union, it may be either complete or incomplete. On some occasions, two independent pulp chambers and root canals can be seen. However, fusion can also be the union of a normal tooth bud to a supernumerary tooth germ. In these cases, the number of teeth is fewer if the anomalous tooth is counted as one tooth. In geminated teeth, division is usually incomplete and results in a large tooth crown that has a single root and a single canal. Both gemination and fusion are prevalent in primary dentition, with incisors being more affected.   Concrescence     Concrescence is a condition of teeth where the cementum overlying the roots of at least two teeth join together. The cause can sometimes be attributed to trauma or crowding of teeth. Surgical separation of the teeth may be ne...
