Restorative materials and techniques are constantly refined in order to address the aesthetic expectations of patients. Second-generation laboratory-fabricated composite materials have recently been developed to combine the advantages of porcelain with composite resin. This class of biomaterial can be utilized in a variety of direct and indirect clinical applications than include inlay/onlay restorations, full-coverage crowns, fixed partial dentures, and implant-supported prostheses. This article reviews considerations for the use of these materials from clinical indications through cementation.

Despite advances in dental material technology, the predictable procurement of accurate impressions for the fabrication of complex fixed prosthodontic restorations remains an elusive objective. The technical challenges and potential negative sequelae are exponentially magnified in advanced applications that involve multiple abutments and preparatory phases. A protocol for consistently achieving accurate impressions with the use of polyether impression materials and automatic instrumentation is presented and illustrated with multiple clinical examples. The technique is capable of yielding reliable results in extensive cases and requires minimal support from auxiliary personnel.

One primary objective of endodontic therapy is to establish an adequate seal with the root canal filling material. The placement of an immediate amalgam buildup at obturation, in conjunction with rubber dam isolation, allows an endodontic seal to be extended from the foramen to the cavosurface margin. As a result of this immediate buildup, the length of the seal and the longevity of the endodontic treatment are presumably extended. This article describes an effective means of performing the immediate core buildup of endodontically treated teeth.

To the majority of patients, the aesthetic appearance of a restoration is often as important as its biological compatibility and function. While technological advancements have significantly improved the procedures and biomaterials utilized to fabricate ceramic restorations, the definitive result must address these increasing aesthetic expectations. A means of properly matching a crown restoration with the surrounding natural dentition is therefore critical. This article discusses shade communication between the members of the restorative team as well as ceramic layering techniques that can be utilized to achieve enhanced aesthetic results.
