Expansion of medical insurance coverage, a move toward more integrated care delivery and significant changes in the financing of health care are among the expectations of ACA legislators and regulators. The Association’s primary focus has been the law’s potential effects on dentistry and the delivery of dental services to patients. The first ACA Q-and-A installment in the Aug. 5 ADA News is posted online at ADA.org. This report examines the ACA and dental benefits.

Recontouring teeth and closing diastemas with direct composite buildups: a 5-year follow-up
Conclusions The direct composite buildups observed in this study were found to have promising clinical outcome and good quality parameters after 5 years.
