OBJECTIVEThe purpose of this study was to compare the clinical application and effect of two temporary restorations materials: composite and self-cured acrylic resin.
METHODS153 composite temporary crowns (and bridges) placed in 44 patients and 144 self-cured acrylic resin temporary crowns (and bridges) placed in 49 patients were evaluated according to the California Dental Association's (CDA) criteria and questionnaire.
RESULTSIt showed that composite temporary crowns (and bridges) had better surface smoothness, marginal integrity and anatomic form than self-cured acrylic resin temporary crowns (and bridges). In the 49 patients with self-cured acrylic resin temporary crowns (and bridges), 67% and 88% of them complained of food impaction and mouth odor, while only 2% and 30% in the 44 patients with composite temporary crowns (and bridges) had the same complaint.
CONCLUSIONBetween the two temporary restoration materials, composite is better than self-cured acrylic resin.

3.An experiment study on repairing residual dental root with a horn-shaped orifice by different materials.
Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2002;19(4):563-565
When a traditional method is used to repair residual dental root with horn-shaped orifice, this kind of dental root often has to be extracted since the success rate in clinic is very low. The main reason is that the stress often concentrates on the neck and root apex, therefore the wall at the orifice is too thin to bear this kind of pressure. A new repairing method is proposed trying to preserve the residual dental root with horn-shaped orifice. Then compare the anti-fracture ability of this kind of tooth with that of no repairing. The results show that it is very effective to prevent the fracture of residual dental root repaired by chemical hard synthetic resin followed by making the post and core. However, there is no obvious difference between non-repaired and residual dental root groups repaired by traditional glass ionic adhesives. The results also provide the great possibility to preserve the residual dental root with horn-shaped orifice in clinic.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the value of valplast dentures in the temporary restoration of single missing anterior tooth.
METHODSTotally 76 patients who needed temporary restoration of single missing anterior tooth were involved and equally divided into two groups according to their own choices of procedures: group A, with valplast dentures as their temporary dentures and group B, with conventional removable partial dentures as their temporary dentures. Meanwhile,38 patients who had their single anterior teeth pulled out and did not need temporary dentures were enrolled as control group without any temporary restoration, and impressions were taken immediately before the temporary dentures were used (2 weeks after tooth extraction) and before the initiation of permanent restorations (97-100 days after tooth extraction).The heights of clinical crowns of the adjacent teeth were also recorded twice from plaster models made from the impressions.The height of labial gingiva recession was calculated as the difference between the two heights recorded.
RESULTSThe height differences of clinical crowns of the adjacent teeth was 0.5mm (range: 0.0-1.2mm) in group A, which was significantly larger than those in group B [0.0mm;(range: 0.0-0.6mm)](P<0.05) and in group C[0.0mm;(range: 0.0-0.4mm)](P<0.05).However, the difference was not significant between group B and group C (P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONApplication of valplast denture as temporary denture may cause labial gingival recession of the adjacent teeth, and therefore is not suitable for the restoration of single missing anterior tooth.

OBJECTIVE:
To observe the change of soft and hard tissue in dental immediate implantation and immediate reconstruction in anterior region after loading 3 years.
METHODS:
Patients with single anterior tooth loss in the Department of Second Dental Center, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from October 2008 to October 2012 were enrolled. The gingival papilla height, labial gingival margin level and peri-implant bone level were measured immediately after the permanent restoration and 3 years later.
RESULTS:
In the study, 20 patients were treated by immediate implantation and immediate reconstruction for 22 implants; 24 patients were treated by delayed implant for 29 implants. Implant stability quotient (ISQ) value of the two groups showed no significant difference before permanent restoration (P>0.05). In all the cases after loading 3 years, the average mesial gingival papilla height in implant area of the immediate group and delayed group changed by (0.34±0.54) mm and (0.05±0.39) mm respectively (P=0.07), the distal gingival papilla height changed by (0.43±0.42) mm and (0.36±0.48) mm respectively (P=0.13), while the labial gingival margin level shrinkages were (0.70±0.40) mm and (0.62±0.34) mm respectively (P=0.23). Peri-implant bone losses in the mesial side were (1.02±0.50) mm and (0.88±0.46) mm respectively (P=0.53), while those in the distal side were (1.05±0.34) mm and (0.95±0.47) mm respectively (P=0.21). All these indicators showed no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05); When the permanent prostheses delivered, the distributions of the gingival papilla index were different between the two groups whether in the mesial side or in the distal side (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
The changes of the soft and hard tissue of the immediate implantation and immediate reconstruction in anterior region after loading 3 years were basically equivalent to the conventional implant restoration. But, the former was obviously better than the latter in reducing the duration of treatment and in getting the ideal dental papilla aesthetic effect.
