A patient came to our office, complaining about chewing and thermic discomfort in the upper right jaw. After clinical and radiographic examination, carious lesions on elements 1.7, 1.6, 1.5 and 1.4 have been detected.

Patient with deep carious lesion on tooth d35(OD). Endodontic treatment was performed prior to restoration. Slickband was used to do margin elevation on distal aspect of the tooth.

The patient was sent to me by a colleague knowing that I deal with surgical extrusion to avoid the extraction of the extremely compromised tooth 25.

A healthy ASA II 72-year-old female presented for restorative replacement of old composite restorations on #7MP and DP as well as #8MP.  The restorations were well aged and exhibited gross marginal leakage, and interestingly abutted against aged feldspathic porcelain venee

Following a diagnosis of carious lesions on the distal walls of teeth 14 and 15, the defects were resolved by conservative therapy. Using the new Strata-G ™ orange and blue separator rings, it is possible to deal with multiple restorations on the same tooth by stacking the two rings.

The presence of carious lesions on the distal walls of teeth 24 and 25 required conservative intervention in order to solve the patient’s problem.

Optimizing the shape and emergence profile of an interproximal wall is the most delicate phase of the entire conservative workflow for Class II lesions. In this case, the lesion on the mesial wall of tooth 16 was treated.

In this article, Dr. Bis shows you how to eliminate those annoying food traps that patients complain about in a very fast and efficient way. She also shares with you her step-by-step process that helps you determine and analyze areas that your patient wasn’t even aware of.
