Clinical Cases
What does successful dentistry look like in daily practice?
In our Clinical Cases, experienced dental professionals present real treatment scenarios from everyday practice. They offer insights into clinical decision-making, treatment concepts, and outcomes under routine conditions.
The cases illustrate how indication-based solutions are implemented across Restorative, Endodontic, and Prophylaxis disciplines and provide practical reference points for daily work.
Restorative Cases
Our Restorative Cases reflect the range of modern restorative dentistry—from functional rehabilitation to aesthetic treatments. They show how materials, techniques, and treatment strategies are combined to restore form, function, and durability.
"The best solution: One More Overlay" Prof. Angelo Putignano
The step‑luting technique improves cementation of indirect restorations by using controlled light curing with dual‑cure resin cement to enhance handling, bonding, and polymerization. This approach increases clinical efficiency, ensures reliable curing even in low‑light areas, and supports long‑term restoration stability.
"Simplified approach to predictable class v restorations" Dr. Ajay Juneja
Class V restorations are common but challenging due to bonding on large dentin surfaces, limited enamel margins, and cervical flexion stresses that can compromise adhesion. While traditional flowable composites offer flexibility, they often lack long‑term esthetics and polishability. Newer flowable composite materials overcome these limitations with improved strength, surface stability, and optical properties, enabling more predictable Class V restorations.
"Managing esthetics of two upper central incisors with indirect ceramic restorations: A novel approach" Dr. Walerie Mendoza
Achieving optimal color integration and natural optical properties is essential for both patient satisfaction and long‑term restorative success, and this clinical case highlights a comprehensive workflow—from digital diagnosis and periodontal therapy to substrate management, bleaching, and final adhesive rehabilitation using contemporary esthetic materials.
"Use of bulk composites for the treatment of direct restoration in the third quadrant" Dr. Simona Chirico
Bulk‑fill composites have become increasingly popular due to their reliable mechanical properties and esthetic performance, and this case report illustrates a direct restoration in the third quadrant, outlining the key clinical steps required to achieve an optimal outcome.
Endodontic Cases
The Endodontic Cases present contemporary approaches to root canal treatment, with a focus on structured workflows, precision, and long-term outcomes. They highlight key aspects of case assessment and clinical execution in daily practice
"Minimally invasive endodontics - Part 1: From endodontic access to shaping of root canals" Dr. Dimitar Kosturkov, DMD, PhD
Endodontics is evolving toward minimally invasive principles, as treatment success depends on eliminating infection while preserving tooth structure to reduce fracture risk. Advances such as magnification, CBCT, modern Ni‑Ti instruments, improved irrigation, and biocompatible materials support this shift by enabling more conservative and durable endodontic care.
"Minimally invasive endodontics - Part 2: 3D disinfection and obturation of root canals" Dr. Dimitar Kosturkov, DMD, PhD
Root canal shaping is essential for effective disinfection and obturation, requiring a continuous tapered form that preserves natural anatomy and apical integrity. Because residual bacteria can persist within dentinal tubules, three‑dimensional obturation is critical to prevent recolonization and ensure long‑term endodontic success.
"ZenFlex™ Clinical Case Booklet."
The ZenFlex™ Clinical Case Booklet presents a curated collection of routine and complex endodontic cases, offering practical insights and real‑world guidance on the effective use of the Kerr ZenFlex file to support confident and predictable root canal treatment.
Prophylaxis Cases
Our Prophylaxis Cases underline the role of professional oral hygiene in maintaining oral health and supporting treatment outcomes.
They show how prophylaxis concepts are applied in different clinical situations, including patients with existing restorations or special requirements, and how they help preserve teeth and existing restorations.
"The use of Cleanic prophy-paste in professional oral hygiene procedures" Maciej Mikołajczyk DDS PhD
Although daily home oral hygiene is essential, it is often insufficient or improperly performed, making professional hygiene procedures in the dental practice a critical complement that prevents disease, builds patient awareness, and strengthens long‑term trust in dental care.
"Update on the maintenance and monitoring of oral health in special needs patients" Prof. Dr. Sebastiana Arroyo Bote
As the number of patients with special needs continues to grow, dental prophylaxis plays a vital role in maintaining oral health, and this article highlights recent advances in periodontal assessment and preventive care tailored to their specific clinical requirements.
