Abstract:
The advent of esthetic dental restorative materials provided alternative treatment modalities and materials to traditional metal/alloy-based restorations and crown/bridge materials. The progression of research and development lead to a spectrum of restorative and prosthodontic materials, ranging from acrylics, silicates, ionomers/compomers, reinforced porcelains, reinforced ceramics and composites: Macrofilled, microfilled, small-particles, hybrids, micro-hybrids and nano-filled. These composites all share amorphous/vitreous-glassy-polymer matrices that due to their brittle nature are fit and limited to conservative anterior and limited posterior fillings at 1/3 cuspal-incline. Hence, the progressive development of a Biomimetic engineered poly crystalline nano ceram dental restorative (PEX), metal-free prosthodontic and implant superstructures (Diamond Crown/Lite/Flow/Link/Bond). This PEX matrix, provides a dense microelastic/macrorigid micro-morphology lamellar structure, that manifests high-performance physico-mechanical properties: Biaxial-flexural- strength, diametral-tensile-compressive-strength, fracture toughness, wear resistance, maintenance of anatomical form/function/texture, color stability, marginal integrity. These physico-mechanical and esthetic attributes most similar to natural tooth structure (Bio-Mimetic Engineered) are coupled with tissue-compatibility, biocompatibility, non-cytotoxic properties: US-Pharmacopeia Class VI (L929-fibroblast cell cultures cytotoxicity, etc. all rated scale 0-5: Zero(0) Reactivity. These favorable hitech/ performance functional-esthetic-biocompatible properties of the PEX-Nano Ceram allow surpassing the limited conservative dental esthetic fillings approach, into a realm of Bio-Mimetic full-coverage restorative superstructures. The long-term (25 + yrs) clinical evaluation attests to the Alpha ratings of form/ function/esthetic-performance and tissue compatibility of the Diamond Crown/Lite/Flow/Link/Bond as an optimum solution to restorative, prosthodontic and implant dentistry. This presentation will illustrate the step-by-step clinical protocol and techniques inherent to this BioMedical approach of bio-mimetic tissue-compatible esthetic-restorative dentistry.
