The all-ceramic endocrowns are one piece restoration used in the therapy of endodontically treated teeth, usually, with a decreased vertical dimension of the tooth crown. The aim of this paper is to describe two techniques of the making of endocrowns using case studies and to present the advantages and disadvantages of both techniques by way of their comparison. Chair-side production with the Cerec CAD-CAM system and pressing of the ceramic with the Empres II system was used for the production of the endocrowns. Cerec CAD-CAM and Empres II systems yielded equally good results in the production of the endocrowns, in terms of their functionality, retention, aesthetic and duration. The basic difference between them is the length of the endocrown production procedure as the Cerec CAD-CAM system makes it possible to apply the treatment during a single visit using a wide range of materials?.

Clinical success of endodontically treated posterior teeth is determined by the postendodontic restoration. Several options have been proposed to restore endodontically treated teeth. Endocrowns represent a conservative and esthetic restorative alternative to full coverage crowns. The preparation consists of a circular equigingival butt-joint margin and central retention cavity into the entire pulp chamber constructing both the crown and the core as a single unit. The case reports discussed here are moderately damaged endodontically treated molars restored using all ceramic endocrowns fabricated using two different systems, namely, CAD/CAM and pressed ceramic.

Objective: To evaluate ability of Nano Ceramic Composite endocrown to withstand occlusal forces when used in the anterior region. Material and Methods: Eighty endodontically treated maxillary central incisors teeth were randomly divided into two main groups according to the restoration type.  40 of these teeth were post, core and crown restorations and 40 were endocrown restorations.  Then they were divided by halves into two subgroups according to the material used 20 were made with Lava Ultimate and the other 20 with IPS e.max. Each subgroup was then further subdivided into two divisions according to the remaining tooth structure above the CEJ (n=10): 2 mm and 0.5 mm above the CEJ. After teeth preparation, the restorations were all made by CAD/CAM system (Cerec MCXL). All samples had undergone cyclic fatigue testing, and then loaded to fracture using a universal testing machine. The specimens were measured and statistically analyzed using Mann-Whitney test for comparing the mean changes between the groups. Results:  Lava Ultimate showed higher mean fracture load values than IPS e.max specimens. Conclusion: Endocrowns were found to be more favorable when used on endodontically treated teeth than the conventional post, core and crown restorations.KEYWORDSEndocrowns; All-ceramic; Fracture; Cyclic loading.

Proper, intelligent use of materials and technology should be utilized for the benefit of the patient. This case report presents a patient with a badly broken premolar tooth demanding high esthetic all-ceramic restoration. Following multiple procedure tooth was restored with zirconia all ceramic restoration. Multiple procedures to save a tooth are a really worthy, in the interest of patients. Use of zirconia and CAD-CAM will help in saving many compromised tooth even in high-stress regions. This provides the patient a chance to have restorations, which are biomechanically superior in addition to being pleasing esthetically.

Abstract Background It is not uncommon that coronal contamination might take place in some clinical cases of ETT following improper treatment choices. This clinical investigation evaluated the outcome of endodontically treated teeth (ETT) with adequate root canal treatment and less than 12 months of coronal contamination by only a single-visit coronal indirect restoration. Methods Twenty-five patients with less than 12 months of coronal contamination following adequate root canal treatment were selected in the period from June 2016 to June 2018, and a single-visit coronal coverage restoration was performed by a chairside computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufactured (CAD/CAM) technique. The clinical outcome was evaluated by radiographical and clinical examination at 1 ~ 3 years recall. Results Twenty-three patients paid a return visit at 1 ~ 3 years recall. All teeth showed no clinical symptoms and no sensitivity to percussion through single-visit coronal coverage restoration, and the radiographic examination showed no change in comparison to the preoperative perirapical X-ray. Three typical clinical scenarios are presented in detail. Conclusions Coronal contamination may not be a unique indicator of endodontic retreatment, and clinicians should evaluate the quality of pre-existing endodontic treatment by radiographical and clinical conditions to determine whether retreatment is necessary.

The Tonsillectomy in children or adults is an intervention commonly encountered in the ENT (Ear Nose and Throat) and Head and Neck surgeon practice. The current tendency is to perform this type of surgery in major ambulatory surgery centers. Two objectives are thus pursued: first of all, the increase of the patient quality of life through the reintegration into the family as quickly as possible and secondly, the expenses associated with continuous hospitalization are reduced. Any tertiary (multidisciplinary) sleep center must ensure the complete diagnosis and treatment (including surgery) of sleep respiratory disorders. Under these conditions the selection of patients and especially the implementation of the specific protocols in order to control the postoperative complications it becomes essential. The present paper describes our experience of tonsillectomy as treatment for selected patients with chronic rhonchopathy (snoring) and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea. It was presented the impact of antibiotics protocols in reducing the main morbid outcomes following tonsillectomy, in our day surgery center. The obtained results can also be a prerequisite for the integrative approach of the patients with sleep apnoea who were recommended surgical treatment. Considering the wide range of therapeutic modalities used in sleep apnoea, each with its specific advantages and disadvantages, more extensive and multicenter studies are needed. Keywords: post-tonsillectomy morbidity, day surgery center, sleep disorders
