Natural Enamel and Dentin Replacement Technique: Simplified Restoration of Posterior Teeth

This clinical case report presents the implementation of a simplified restorative technique for posterior teeth capable of replacing lost dental structures using conventional composite resins, which may assist dentists in improving their outcomes in their daily clinical practice. The technique proposed in this article, named "Natural Enamel & Dentin Substitution - NE&DS," suggests the use of few increments of composite resin and the replacement of dentin and enamel following the anatomical, histo-morphological, and functional characteristics of the dental element through a systematic step-by-step process, not only facilitating the involved operative procedures but also leading to excellent long-term results.

Composite Resin Blocks for CAD/CAM - Maximizing Adhesion Concepts through Digital Dentistry (Part I)

Restorative Dentistry faced limitations in preserving remaining tooth structure over decades due to the deficiencies of the restorative materials available at that time and the lack of knowledge about caries disease. The acid conditioning proposed by Michael Buonocore in the 1950s, and years later, Rafael Bowen's formulation of the Bis-GMA molecule (Bisphenol A-glycidyl methacrylate ether dimethacrylate) are historical landmarks that transformed not only the techniques but mainly the conception of reproducing the biomechanical characteristics of a natural tooth through additive procedures.
