A 65 years old woman presented to the dental practice complaining of hypersensitivity and loss of tooth structure and wishing to improve the esthetics of the anterior region. During clinical examination, wear facets were observed in anterior and posterior regions. Digital Smile Design analysis was carried out in order to predict and plan the final smile design. After removing the previous fillings and with the help of a diagnostic wax up, a clear silicone splint was prepared and filled with Ceram X duo (Dentsply DeTrey, Konstanz, Germany) microhibrid composite which was used to increase the vertical dimension of the patient. The palatal surface of anterior teeth and occlusal surfaces of posterior teeth were restored with composite. Finally, the buccal surfaces of 1.3 to 2.5 were prepared for feldsphatic coreless veneers (Noritake, Japan) and were cemented with light-curing cement calibra and the XP Bond (Dentsply DeTrey, Konstanz, Germany) adhesive. The abutments 1.5 and 1.6 were prepared for the fitting of the partial fixed denture from 1.4 to 1.6. Conclusions After the treatment, the dental hypersensibility subside, so the functional and aesthetic expectations of both, patient and dentist were met.
S20 etch-and-rinse adhesive. The lowest mean µTBS were obtained with Xeno Select. Conclusions Clearfil SE and Scotchbond Universal applied as a 2-step etch-and-rinse adhesive had greater bond strength to dentin than Scotchbond Universal applied as a one-step self-etch adhesive and Xeno Select. The new universal adhesive Xeno Select, had lower bond strength, particularly applied as a one-step self-etch adhesive.
