Modular Wear Facet Nomenclature for mammalian post-canine dentitions
2017
Dental wear facets on the occlusal surface of premolars and molars are traces of their main function, the mastication and therefore reflect masticatory movements and also paramasticatory (i.e. non-dietary use of teeth) behavior. Here we present the Modular Wear Facet Nomenclature applicable to most mammalian dentitions. Topographic positions of wear facets in relation to the major cusps and crests of the teeth are used to designate the areas of the occlusal surface the facets occupy (e.g. their mesial, distal, lingual, or buccal position). Previous published systems for labeling wear facets have been inconsistent with each other. Therefore, we provide a synoptic review of the most widely-us…
Occlusal Surface Achieved Using the Stamp Technique
2020
Abstract Dental occlusion can be restored through preparation, modelling, occlusal adjustment and finishing or by reproducing the final future tooth surface. The micro-brush stamp technique is a new technique used in direct restorations. The purpose of this paper is to present a fast way of restoring the occlusal surface of a tooth when a previous correct functional impression of the surface exists. We will approach, step by step, the occlusal dental tissue reconstruction using a dental flowable composite and a microbrush to get a stamp of the occlusal surface in order to achieve precise occlusal topography.
