Case Reports of Aesthetic Rehabilitation by Richmond Crown in Maxillary Anterior Teeth: A Forgotten State of Art.

After endodontic therapy, restoring severely broken or damaged crown structure is a difficult task in conservative dentistry. Regular post and core followed by crown repair cannot restore a crown with steep incisal guidance, very little overjet, and highly damaged crown structure. Richmond crown is better recommended in these situations since Richmond crown is a crown having post. It is prepared as a single piece having a ceramic facing. We frequently encounter teeth having very less or no clinical crown portion that are structurally damaged. Support and retention of the restoration are challenging to achieve in such situations. The rehabilitation of anterior teeth that has been endodontically treated and structurally impaired is reviewed in two cases.

Patient Satisfaction and Oral Health-Related Quality of Life before and after Endodontic Treatment: A Longitudinal Study.

Introduction: Patient satisfaction depends on various factors despite a reasonable success rate of endodontic treatment. We study various factors affecting the quality of life and patient satisfaction post-endodontic treatment. Materials and Methods: After the successful endodontic treatment of 250 patients, a questionnaire with means of an interview by the examiner was carried out and recorded. Results: The majority of the patients were satisfied. Mean oral health quality was more satisfactory post one-month study. Oral health quality among anterior and posterior was not significant. Oral health quality among the upper and lower jaw was not significant. Oral health quality among males and females was not significant. Conclusion: A concrete relationship exists between the diseased state and its treatment on quality of life.
