Abstract:	Composite veneers, crowns, and inlay bridges after orthodontic therapy can reshape the dental arch. The main emphasis is given on esthetic appearance of the patient and protection of healthy teeth. The aim of the study was to evaluate the long-term treatment stability.49 composite veneers, crowns and inlay bridges (20 patients) were inserted on the frontal teeth as a part of reshaping and reorientation of teeth after orthodontic therapy; diasthemic closure, microdontia of lateral incisors, reshaping of canines, anodontia of lateral incisors, etc. Based on ADA recommendation a special card was prepared containing relevant information on the patients. Used materials were: Charisma, Artglass, (Kulzer) Ribbond, (Sigma Dental Systems) Targis, Vectris, (Ivoclar). Baseline examination was made one week and three years after therapy. Clinical assessments were carried out in accordance with the US Public Health Service System. The follow-up included: marginal ridge, marginal adaptation, anatomic form, caries presence, color match, cavo surface margin discoloration, surface smoothness and postoperative sensitivity.In the three year period, marginal ridge contour and adaptation were excellent (100% alfa). Anatomic form was destroyed in 18.7%. The general contour of the restoration followed the overall contour of the teeth in 81.3%. In our study no evidence of caries was found. The color match was darker and translucent in 31.2 %, and marginal discoloration was seen in 12.5%. The entire surface of each restoration was smooth with marked spot relief in 62.5%.The results demonstrate that composite resin and reinforced polymers are an effective method for long-term stable treatment.

MeSH:	DENTURE, PARTIAL
Abstract:	Because of some aesthetic imperfections and because metal is unsuitable for some patients, metal-free ceramic has been developed. A patient, 50 years old, is presented with a 6 year old faceted bridge on teeth 24, 25, 26, 27. The patient complained of thermal irritation in the cervical region. A clinical examination showed gingivitis and lack of hygiene. Between the toothsegment 26 and thecrown on 27 was a fracture, and the patient decided to have a new bridge made. A metal-free ceramic bridge made of Vita In-ceram zirconium was suggested as well as treatment of the periodontium by the Durr Vektor method. The teeth region 24 and 27 were anesthetized with local infiltration anesthetic. Silicone impression fora temporary bridge was taken. Using the separatory bur in the red contra angle Titan TE 200 crowns 24 and 27 were separated and pulled with special dental forceps. Before beginning the preparation it is necessary to put the retraction thread in two levels circularly round the stump in the gingival sulcus to prevent bleeding. The 2 mm ofthe tooth crown depth is marked by a diamond bur. Labial and palatal it is done with a special grooved diamond point LVS-1 with 1.2 mm grooves. The tooth is treated in the following order - occlusally, labially, approximately and palatally. At the same time a 0.5 mm rectangular step inside the sulcus is prepared. Finally the rims of thestep and the stump are treated with Titan Eva-head TK 14 with 0,4 working amplitude and a maximum of 6000 r.p.m. The final treatment with Arkansas stone follows. The thread is removed and the impression in the additional silicone or polyether is taken. The relation between the jaws is estimated with the silicone key. The acrylic temporary bridge is made directly in the mouth and is cemented with temporary cement. The ceramic-free constructionis cemented by adhesional technique.

MeSH:	DENTAL MATERIALS DENTURE, PARTIAL
Abstract:	INTRODUCTION: The demand for esthetic restorations has led to the development of materials that are metal free. These materials must have adequate strength to be an alternative for the fabrication of fixed partial dentures in posterior segments of the dental arches.PURPOSE: The aim of the present study was to investigate in a long-term perspective whether the strength of the In Ceram Zirconia material is sufficient for use in posterior bridges.MATERIAL AND METHODS: Sixteen patients, who were between 23 and 50 years of age, with indications for a fixed denture replacing premolar or molar, were examined for participation in the study. Eighteen bridges were constructed with one or two pontics and two abutments, one on each side of the pontic. The patients were informed about risks of, and alternatives to, the proposed therapy.The supporting teeth were prepared with chamfer finish line and lack ofsharp line angles. Impressions were made with a rigid standard tray with an A-silicone putty soft and light-body materials (Aquasil, Dentsply). The laboratory procedures were performed by a laboratory autho rised by the Vita supplier. Ten of the bridges werecemented permanently with zinc phosphate cement and eight with glass ionomer cement. Clinical evaluation of the bridges were performed according to the California Dental Association’s quality evaluation system.RESULT: After three year evaluation all eighteen bridges were without signs of or any change in colour, and marginal integrity.CONCLUSION: In Ceram Zirconia is a potential alternative for full ceramic bridges in the posterior segments.

MeSH:	DENTURE, PARTIAL DENTURE DESIGN PATIENT SATISFACTION DENTAL MATERIALS
Abstract:	The aim of the study was to evaluate patients’ general satisfaction with their removable partial dentures of different classification, construction, material, denture base shape (major connectors), denture support and the number of missing teeth. The aim was also to evaluate patients’ satisfaction with denture retention, speech, aesthetics, chewing ability and the comfort of wearing dentures, depending on the construction. A total of 165 patients with partial dentures took part in this study. There were 59 males and 106 females aged from 38 to 87 years. Patients graded satisfaction with their partial dentures in total and also with aesthetics, speech and retention, chewing ability and the comfort of wearing dentures by means of a scale from 1 to 5. The dentist determined Kennedy classification and their modifications, material and denture support, denture base shape and the number of missing teeth. The dentist also evaluated the denture construction. On the basis of the statistical analysis the following conclusions were made: 1. Patients were on the whole satisfied with their partial dentures (distribution of the scores of the patients’ assessments was asymmetrical towards the highest scores in all examined categories). 2. Kennedy classification and their modifications, material, denture base shape and denture support do not have an influence on patients’ satisfaction with denture retention, speech, mastication, aesthetics and comfort of wearing dentures (p>0.05). 3. The number of lower missing teeth influence the comfort of wearing lower dentures (p<0.05). 4. Construction of lower dentures have an influence on patients’ satisfaction with speech with lower partial denture (p<0.05).

MeSH:	DENTURE, PARTIAL PATIENT SATISFACTION SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS
Abstract:	The aim of this study was to evaluate patients' satisfaction with their partial dentures in relation to some socio-economic variables. The aim was also to evaluate patients' satisfaction with denture retention, speech, aesthetics, chewing ability and comfort while wearing dentures. The influence of some factors, such as age, sex, marital status, level of education, smoking, chronic diseases, socio-economic status, ordinal number and age of thepresent dentures, on patients' satisfaction with partial dentures was also evaluated. A total of 165 patients with partial dentures took part in the study. There were 59 males and 106 females aged between 38 and 87 years. Patients graded their satisfaction with their partial dentures in total and then graded aesthetics, speech and retention, chewing ability and comfort while wearing dentures by using a scale from 1 to 5. Following a statistical analysis the following conclusions were made: 1. Patients were mostly satisfied with their partial dentures (the distribution of the scores of the patients' assessments was asymmetrical towards the highest scores in all examined categories). Only 3.2% of the patients were not absolutely satisfied with their partial dentures, 2. More then half of the examined patients scored all the examined variables in the best score category (5), 3. Patients of a higher level of education had higher criteria for the aesthetic appearance, as they assessed their partial denture aesthetics with a lower grades than patients with lower level of education. Males were less satisfied with the chewing ability of lower partial dentures (p<0.05) than females, 4. There was no significant difference in patients' assessments of the quality of their partial dentures between different age groups, ability of self-supporting life, socio-economic and economic status, marital status, smoking, presence of chronic diseases, number of previous dentures and age of present dentures (p>0.05).
