Abstract:

ABSTRACT Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors influencing the satisfaction of dental appearance and attitude toward treatments to improve dental esthetics among patients attending a dental teaching center. Methods A questionnaire was used to collect data of four background variables among 450 patients attended a dental teaching center in the city of Irbid in Jordan. The questionnaire enclosed self-reported questions about the appearance of anterior teeth, received esthetic treatment and desired treatment for improving esthetics. Descriptive, multiple logistic regression and Chi-square tests were used for data analysis (p ≤0.05). Results The 450 participants consisted of (66.2%) male and (33.8%) female. Of these, 69.3% were satisfied with their dental appearance and 58.0% with the color of their teeth. Esthetic restorations were the most received treatment (39.8%) and whitening of teeth was the most desired treatment (55.3%). The patients’ satisfaction with dental appearance was influenced by teeth color, crowding and receiving whitening (p < 0.05. r = 0.561, r2 = 0.315). The most desired esthetic treatments influenced by the satisfaction with dental appearance were esthetic restorations and orthodontics (p < 0.05. r = 0.223, r2 = 0.05). Significantly more female reported having esthetic restorations and orthodontics (p = 0.008, 0.000) and desired to have orthodontic, crowns or veneers and esthetic restorations (p = 0.000, 0.015, 0.028). Conclusion Satisfaction with dental appearance was affected by teeth color, feeling teeth are crowded, desire for esthetic restorations and orthodontic treatment. A high percentage of patients were not satisfied with the color of their teeth. Clinical Significance Recognizing the factors that affect patients’ satisfaction with their present dental appearance and attitude toward treatments to improve dental esthetic can guide clinicians to strategies to improve esthetics.

Abstract Objective: To assess the relative importance of an orthodontic esthetic index, dental fluorosis and nonfluoride opacities, with respect to parents' satisfaction with their children's dental esthetics. Materials and Methods: Dental examinations of Iowa Fluoride Study participants assessed fluorosis and nonfluoride opacities in the mixed dentition. Dental casts of 200 randomly selected subjects were scored using the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) criteria. Parent satisfaction was assessed via multiple items on a questionnaire. Associations were evaluated using logistic regression. Results: Nineteen percent of parents were somewhat or very dissatisfied with their children's dental esthetics. Overall DAI score was positively associated with dissatisfaction (P < .001), as was fluorosis (P = .003). Conclusions: In addition to changes related to DAI scores, parent esthetic satisfaction decreased with the presence of fluorosis. Dental professionals should address both the issues of tooth positioning and color aberration with respect to dental esthetics.

Abstract:

The increased awareness of esthetics in dental treatment has challenged dentistry to look dental esthetics in a more organized and systematic manner. Today dental professionals should have a clear understanding of Esthetic Principles to reach patients satisfaction level which cannot be achieved by formerly independent disciplines of Orthodontics, Prosthodontics, Endodontics and Periodontics of Maxillofacial Surgery alone. To provide the highest level of dental treatment to each patient various disciplines of dentistry should be used together. Therefore in the present case report we emphasize on the use of interdisciplinary approach using ortho-prostho dental treatment to provide maximum esthetic results to our patient.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTFacial esthetics, including oral esthetics, can severely affect children's quality-of-life, causing physical, social and psychological impairment. Children and adolescents with esthetic-related dental malformations are potential targets for bullies. This study was aimed to present and discuss patients who suffered from bullying at school and family environment due to esthetic-related teeth anomalies. Providing an adequate esthetic dental treatment is an important step in their rehabilitation when the lack of esthetic is the main source of bullying. After dental treatment, we noted significant improvement in self-esteem, self-confidence, socialization and academic performance of all patients and improvement in parental satisfaction regarding the appearance of their children. It is imperative that both family and school care providers be constantly alert about bullying in order to prevent or interrupt aggressive and discriminatory practices against children and adolescents. Clearly, dental anomalies may be a motive for bullying.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Introduction: Esthetics is often an essential yet ignored aspect of dental treatment. In the present study, an attempt was made to evaluate patient satisfaction in terms of esthetic outcome of dental treatment. MaterialS and Methods: For this purpose, a systematic review was carried out by searching, MEDLINE, PubMed, and Scopus databases using the keywords “esthetics,” “orthodontic treatment need,” “dental treatment need,” “satisfaction,” and “determinants.” A total of 1075 studies were shortlisted, out of which a total of 927 were excluded in the preliminary assessment itself. A further 779 were excluded during the process of identification of themes and concepts and another 73 were out of sampling frame/inappropriate methodology. Of the remaining 75, a total of 44 studies were related with expectation and perceptions and thus only 31 (2.9%) studies were left that had evaluated esthetics as the treatment outcome. Among these, 9 studies each were related with orthodontic and prosthodontic/implantology treatment, respectively, while 6 studies were related with general dental treatment, and the remaining 7 were related with specialized/esthetic procedures. Results: The overall patient satisfaction rate was 67.3%. It was highest in the prosthodontics and dental implantology group (75.1%) and lowest in patients availing of generalized dental (32.4%). Conclusion: Patient satisfaction was affected by gender, pretreatment appearance, patient personality characteristics, type of disorder, patient education, previous bad experience, treatment time, cost of treatment, use of appliance/treatment modality/material, practice location and environment, dentist personality, quality of treatment, patient’s esthetic perception, negligence/regularity, smoking, and oral health factors. CLINICAL RELEVANCE TO INTERDISCIPLINARY DENTISTRY The article targets to describe the patient expectations with respect to esthetic dental treatment and how patient’s satisfaction is affected by different esthetic dental treatments availed by them for various purposes. The article also highlights the various dental treatment options availed by the patients and their esthetic outcome.

Abstract:

Esthetics in dentistry aims to improve the patients’ self-esteem and satisfaction regarding how beautiful and attractive they feel. However, patients and dental professionals may perceive the concept of esthetics differently instead, which may cause the dissatisfaction of the patient with the results of the treatment. Objective: This cross-sectional observational study aimed to verify the esthetic self-perception of undergraduate dental students regarding their own smile. Material and methods: A questionnaire, designed by Goldstein [10] to measure the patients’ self-perception and satisfaction, regarding their smiles, was applied to undergraduate students of different semesters of the School of Dentistry of the Federal University of Pelotas. Results: Our results showed that women are more dissatisfied with their smiles than men. Students attending different semesters worried somehow about the esthetics of their smiles and revealed the wish of having whiter teeth. Most students are satisfied with the shape of their teeth. Ninety two percent of the students feel self-confident regarding to smile, 90% believe someone else has a better smile, 87% look at the smile of models in fashion magazines, 71% wish to have whiter teeth and 80% wish to have rather a bigger or smaller teeth. Conclusion: Undergraduate dental students have a positive self-perception of their smile. Women are less satisfied than men. Students of the earlier semesters wish to have whiter teeth than students from the later semesters.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThe aim of this article is to describe the possibility of improving dental esthetics with low-thickness glass ceramics without major tooth preparation for patients with small to moderate anterior dental wear and little discoloration. For this purpose, a carefully defined treatment planning and a good communication between the clinician and the dental technician helped to maximize enamel preservation, and offered a good treatment option. Moreover, besides restoring esthetics, the restorative treatment also improved the function of the anterior guidance. It can be concluded that the conservative use of minimum thickness ceramic laminate veneers may provide satisfactory esthetic outcomes while preserving the dental structure.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Aim To compare and evaluate the perceptions of esthetics among dentists and patients regarding the final esthetic outcome of a dental treatment. Background Esthetics is a matter of perception and is associated with the way different people look at an object. What constitutes esthetic for a particular person may not be acceptable for another. Hence it is subjective in nature. This becomes more obvious during the post-treatment evaluation of esthetics by dentist and the concerned patient. Opinion seldom matches. Hence, the study is a necessary part of the process of understanding the mind of dentist and patient regarding what constitutes esthetics. Technique A survey has been conducted by means of a questionnaire consisting of 10 questions, on two groups of people. First group consists of 100 dentists picked at random in Kanyakumari district of Tamil Nadu, India. Second group consisted of 100 patients who required complete denture prosthesis. The second group was divided into two subgroups A and B. Subgroup A consisting of 50 men and subgroup B consisting of 50 women. In each subgroup 25 patients were selected in age group of 40 to 50 and 25 patients were selected in the age group of 50 to 60. The questionnaire was given to both the groups and asked to fill up, which was then statistically analyzed to look for patterns of thought process among them. Results Results were subjected to statistical analysis by Student's t-test. Conclusion Perceptions of esthetics differs from dentist who is educated regarding esthetic principles of treatment and a patient who is not subjected to such education. Since, the questions were formulated such that patients could better understand the underlying problem, the final outcome of survey is a proof that dentists need to take into account what the patient regards as esthetics in order to provide a satisfactory treatment. Clinical and academic significance The current study helps the dentist to better educate the patient regarding esthetics so that patient appreciates the final scientifically based esthetic outcome of treatment. It also helps the dental students to understand the underlying patient's thought process regarding esthetics.

Abstract:

Esthetics is the “new trend” in dental medicine as a natural consequence of the development of modern society, with implications in practice and training. Like any rule in art, but also within the medical field, esthetics must be known and addressed in relation to other medical or non-medical principles (dental cosmetic), respect the ethics rules. Aim. Literature study designed to focus on the current problems that modern dentistry is facing, in relation to esthetic requirements. The literature search strategy in electronic databases: EBSCO Data Base, Dentistry & Oral Sciences Source, Pub Med indexed articles, used Boolean Operators. As a conclusion, the dentist must be familiar with the differences between esthetic and dental cosmetic, must minimize the subjective component of the examination, identify the reasons of presentation, guide the patient in choosing the optimal treatment, including obtaining the desired esthetic results, within the ethical boundaries of the noble medical profession.

Abstract:

In the present era, esthetics has become an important dimension in dental practice as parents and children are equally self-conscious of their appearance. Children now desire to possess an aesthetically pleasing smile. Harmonizing an esthetic smile integrates facial and dental components. Since the scientific data on pediatric esthetics are limited, the aim of the study was to evaluate esthetic parameters of the face and components of smile in children with deciduous dentition.: After fulfilling inclusion criteria, 3 sets of facial photographs of 100 children were obtained, comprising of frontal at rest, frontal smile and profile at rest images under standardised photographic technique. Linear measurements of facial and dental parameters were assessed with the help of Adobe photoshop and static norms were obtained by taking the average value. Subjective evaluation was performed by a group of professionals using Q-sort technique to list the attractive features in children.Static norms were obtained for facial and dental parameters. Attractive children showed decreased facial height, anterior lower facial height, vermilion height and bigonial width. They also displayed decreased smile index and buccal corridor ratio along with parallel smile arc and more than 3/4th of crown height visibility during smiling. Attractive children presented facial and dental parameters variable from normative values. : The study results can be utilised during restorative and prosthetic rehabilitation among children to improve esthetics.

Abstract:

The ultimate goal in modern era dentistry is to achieve the balance of “white” and “pink” in esthetically important zones. “White esthetics” is the natural dentition or the restoration of dental hard tissues with suitable materials. “Pink esthetics” refers to the surrounding soft-tissues, which includes the interdental papilla and gingiva that can enhance or diminish the esthetic result. This paper aims to describe a careful diagnosis and multidisciplinary treatment approach to achieve a satisfactory final esthetic outcome in a clinical scenario where there is an abnormal shape, position of tooth and displaced papilla in the anterior esthetic zone.

Abstract:

Esthetic dentistry is a field of dentistry that focuses on enhancing the individuals’ esthetic, oral function, and health. One of the tools that have been used is the golden ratio which is a mathematical concept with substantial application in facial and dental esthetics. Some studies showed that this proportion affects people`s esthetic. Therefore, using the golden ratio can be beneficial for improving individuals’ facial and dental esthetic when it combines with other procedures such as implants and gingival recession treatment.

Abstract:

Abstract This study analyzed the prevalence of lectures involving esthetics in the scientific program of Brazilian dental conferences and the gender distribution of speakers. All lectures presented in three dental conferences (Bahia, São Paulo, and Goiás states) held from 2016 to 2020 were evaluated. Three investigators individually divided the lectures according to the specialties recognized by the Brazilian Federal Council of Dentistry (FCD) based on their titles. The lectures were also classified as involving or not esthetics, and the speaker`s gender was recorded. Descriptive statistical analyses were performed, and Chi-square tests assessed possible associations between factors. The words most cited in the titles of the lectures were “esthetic” (13.6%), “dentistry” (9.9%), and “treatment” (8.1%). Oral diseases were barely mentioned in the titles (up to 1.3%). The highest number of lectures was observed for the specialty of Restorative Dentistry (22.3%), followed by Prosthodontics (18.5%). Approximately one-third of lectures involved some aesthetic aspect, but this percentage ranged from 71.9 to 78.6% for the two specialties with more lectures. Regarding the speaker`s gender, the inequity was higher for lectures involving esthetics (81.6% of males) than for topics unrelated to esthetics (66.7%). More male speakers than females were observed for all specialties. The highest gender gap was observed for Pediatric Dentistry with 62.4% male speakers, although only 10.6% of FCD registered specialists were men. In conclusion, the Brazilian dental conferences analyzed seemed to favor offering lectures dealing with esthetic topics and male speakers.

Abstract:

Pincus is credited for evolution of porcelain veneers. He attached the thin labial porcelain veneers temporarily with denture adhesive powders to improve dental esthetic appearance. Improvement of patient’s lost natural dental esthetics have become important goal of discipline of dentistry and credited for wide ranging applications from improving common man’s appearance to filmstars. Esthetic problems may be result of interplay of complex factors like color, shape, and structural and position abnormalities of anterior teeth. Laminate veneers are used for purpose of improving esthetic deficiencies and discolorations as well as existing abnormalities.Successful application of porcelain veneers depends on multiple factors such as the clinical and laboratory steps involved, along with the understanding of the scientific background of procedure.Conservative and esthetic approaches, such as direct and indirect laminate veneer restorations are most preferred way chosen by dentist across world to improve compromised esthetics of human beings. Technological advancements such as intraoral scanner for impression making have significantly improved the success of prosthesis.

SUMMARY Objective: The esthetics of the smile are related to the color, shape, texture, dental alignment, gingival contour, and the relationship of these with the face. Purpose: To present a two-year follow-up for an esthetic rehabilitation clinical case in which the method of digital smile design (DSD) was used to assist and improve diagnosis, communication, and predictability of treatment through an esthetic analysis of the assembly: face, smile, periodontal tissue, and teeth. Clinical Procedure: The smile's esthetics were improved through gingival recontouring, dental home bleaching, and a restorative procedure with thin porcelain laminate veneers using lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (e.max Ceram, Ivoclar-Vivadent) laminates on teeth 4 through 13. Discussion: The proposed technique had an acceptable clinical performance at the end of a two-year follow-up. Significance: DSD can be used to increase professional/patient communication and to provide greater predictability for the smile's esthetic rehabilitation.

Abutments are used in dentistry to attach dental crowns to dental implant. Currently, zirconia custom abutment is the one which is mostly used in restorations, since it offers several advantages, especially better esthetics and prevention from infection. Several innovations are done in the implant designs and procedures to achieve better esthetics. Computer-aided design & computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system is widely used innovative technology in dentistry. This technology offers custom implants that help to achieve better esthetics and good internal fit. This procedure used a novel technique of anatomical modification of the final abutment incisal edge from straight anatomical edge to irregular one with a mamelon-incisal effect to enhance esthetic, shade matching, and anatomical replication of incisal structure that resembles the natural incisor. Usually, dental technicians will perform facial and incisal cut-back and apply porcelain layers to the crown in order to reproduce the translucency and the other optical effects that most closely match that of natural dentin and enamel, especially at the incisal edge. These optical effects will make the prosthetic crown look more natural and esthetically pleasant. By this presented technique will help the dental technician to achieve highly esthetic crown with completely digital workflow without the need for porcelain layering. The procedure was also followed up to 3, 6, and 12 months after the surgery and found no complications or complaints from the patient and esthetically satisfied.

Abstract:

Edentulism and dental disease have a major effect on the standard of lifetime of patients. Fixed partial dentures have become the treatment of choice for many people for the replacement of edentulous space in the oral cavity. Therefore, it is of interest to correlate and compare the esthetics between monolithic zirconia and hand layered zirconia among fixed partial dentures in Saveetha Dental College. 100 patients who monolithic zirconia and hand layered zirconia had fixed partial dentures were included within the study. Pink and white esthetic scores were evaluated. Data collected were entered in SPSS and analyzed through Chi square test. It was observed that hand layered zirconia have better white esthetic score (p<0.000) and pink esthetic score (p<0.003) when compared to monolithic zirconia fixed partial dentures, which were statistically significant. It was concluded that hand layered zirconia fixed partial dentures have better esthetics than monolithic zirconia fixed partial dentures.

Abstract:

Abstract Fluorescence, the emission of light by a material after absorbing photons, is a property that has been extensively studied and utilized in various fields. In dentistry, fluorescence plays a crucial role in assessing the esthetic outcomes of dental restorations and prostheses. Different dental materials, such as resin composites and ceramics, exhibit distinct fluorescence characteristics. Understanding how these materials interact with fluorescent light is essential for achieving optimal esthetics in dental treatments. Therefore, fluorescence light reflection of different dental materials is a topic of great significance in the field of dentistry. Researchers have employed various methods to investigate the fluorescent light reflection of dental materials. These methods include spectrophotometry, fluorescent microscopy, and digital imaging techniques. By analyzing the fluorescence emission spectra and intensity, valuable insights into the optical properties of different dental materials have been obtained. Studies have shown that factors such as material composition, surface roughness, and color stability can influence the fluorescence light reflection of dental materials. For example, resin composites with certain additives or modifications may exhibit enhanced fluorescence, resulting in more natural-looking restorations. Furthermore, advancements in digital imaging technology have allowed for the development of fluorescencebased devices, such as fluorescence imaging cameras, to aid in clinical assessments. These devices enable dentists to evaluate the esthetic integration of dental materials within the oral environment, leading to improved treatment outcomes. Overall, the investigation of fluorescence light reflection of different dental materials offers valuable insights into their optical properties and their potential impact on esthetics. The understanding gained from this research can aid in the selection and characterization of dental materials, ultimately enhancing the esthetic outcomes of dental treatments

ABSTRACT Background There are many different ceramic systems available on the market for dental restorations. Glass-ceramics are a popular choice due to their excellent esthetics and ability to bond to tooth structure allowing a more conservative approach. However, at present, these materials have insufficient strength to be used reliably in posterior regions of the mouth. Purpose The aim of this review article is to discuss the types of novel glass-ceramic currently be investigated including composition, microstructure and properties. Conclusion Current research in glass-ceramics focuses on the quest for a highly esthetic material along with sufficient strength to enable crowns and bridgework to be reliably placed in these areas. Clinical significance There is a gap in the market for a machinable resin bonded glass-ceramic with sufficient strength as well as excellent esthetics. How to cite this article Pollington S.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: The objective of the present article is to describe procedures that can be performed to achieve excellence in orthodontic treatment finishing. The content is limited to microesthetics, which comprises the concept of ideal dental dimensions and proportions (white esthetics) and its correlation with the periodontium (pink esthetics). Standards of normality are described both in their real dimensions (dental height and width), and in those effectively perceived by the observer, the virtual dimensions. METHODS: The best scientific evidence was sought in the literature to support the clinical procedures that must guide the professional to obtain maximum esthetic quality on their treatments. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate what the other specialties in Dentistry expect from Orthodontics and, specially, what they have to offer. Clinical cases will be used to illustrate the dental movement that might maximize treatment outcome and to confront the ideal standards with the current state of the art. CONCLUSION: Treatment quality is directly related to the amount of procedures implemented by the orthodontist, associated with concepts and resources from Periodontics and Dental Prosthesis. Microesthetics cannot be seen in isolation, but rather as the key to establish a pleasant smile (miniesthetics) in addition to a harmonious face (macroesthetics) and a human being with high self-esteem (hyper-esthetics).

Abstract:

The restoration of normal function and esthetic appearance with a dental prosthesis is a major challenge in the rehabilitation of patients who have lost their teeth. In such situation, a fixed removable prosthesis allows favorable biomechanical stress distribution along with restoration of esthetics, phonetics, comfort, hygiene and better postoperative care and maintenance. Prime function of attachment retained partial denture is to distribute the masticatory forces to the wide area thereby reducing the damage to the abutments, soft tissues and bony ridges in addition to improved esthetics and proprioceptive responses. In this case series patient’s esthetic and functional requirements were fulfilled with attachment retained cast partial denture using semi-precision attachments

Abstract:

Dental esthetics is a field of dentistry concerned especially with the appearance of dentition as achieved through its arrangement, form and color. The type of malocclusion, the degree of malocclusion, age, patients’ esthetic desires, practitioners’ style of treatment as well as gender predilection can influence the final esthetic treatment the patient will be subjected to. From functional demands, over the years, patients’ demands have dynamically shifted to meeting the maximum esthetics possible. In older patients, it is difficult to treat the malocclusion by orthodontic procedures, hence bringing in the requirement of performing surgical treatment along with prosthetic rehabilitation. This will help maximize esthetics as well as provide a long term, sustainable solution for the patient. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of outflow of patients undergoing jaw-related surgery requiring prosthetic rehabilitation and its association with esthetic demand. A sample size of 1743 patients' information from SDC DIAS database of Saveetha Dental College was taken and a retrospective study was performed where the data collection was done using Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet and data analysis was done using SPSS version 20.0 software. It can be said that surgical treatment is done majorly due to esthetic desires. There is no significant association of the requirement of the treatment with age as well as the gender of the patient (P>0.05). There is a statistically significant association between Requirement of Prosthetic Rehabilitation and Age group (P<0.05).

Introduction: Esthetics dental treatments involving ceramic laminate veneers can obtain optimal results through detailed considerations with respect to teeth preparations, gingival margins and esthetic factors. Objectives: This case report aims to present a conservative management for ceramic conservative preparation associated with the digital workflow for ceramic laminates, with 18-month follow-up. Case Report: Patient complaining of a child smile due to diastemas in the anterior region. The planning and design of the smile was carried out using a software (Keynote, Ceramill Mind). After molding and printing a 3D model, a mock-up was performed, which was used as a surgical guide for the performance of gingivoplasty. The conservative dental preparation was then performed, with cervical enamel preservation. The ceramic laminates were made after molding and scanning the model, using the CAD/CAM system and cemented on the dental surface. It was observed that there was an increase in gingival quality and thickness, achieving esthetics, color and marginal stability, after 18 months of follow-up. Conclusion: The conservative preparation technique associated with the digital workflow allowed the manufacture of thin ceramic laminate veneer, promoting stability of esthetics and periodontal health after 18 months.

Abstract:

Most patients require orthodontic treatment to improve the esthetics of their smile. Orthodontists must consider how some parameters of mini-esthetics can influence the patient’s esthetic perception. Methods: A photograph of the smile of a young female was taken and some modifications were made to the buccal corridor, gingival exposure, smile arc and midline position to assess the influence of these variables on smile attractiveness. Two hundred examiners were selected from four groups: orthodontists (O), dental students (DS), orthodontic patients (OP) and surgical-orthodontic patients (SOP). Each examiner was asked to complete the questionnaire with an approval rating from 1 to 10. Significant level was set at P ≤ 0.05. Results: Only orthodontists considered buccal corridors of 4mm and midline deviation of 1mm as non-esthetic; all other examiners considered gingival exposures ≥3 mm and midline angulation as non-esthetic. All examiners assigned higher satisfaction values to the photo with the concordant smile arc and defined as non-esthetic the covered smile and the reverse smile arc. Patients perceived as non-esthetic only midline deviations of 4mm. The surgical orthodontic patients assigned lower values to the photos and showed greater attention to evaluating the esthetics of the smile than the orthodontic patients. Conclusion: Smile arc, gingival exposure and midline angulation influence smile esthetics; the role of buccal corridors and midline deviation is dependent on the type of examiner.

Summary Background/Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate in the esthetic perceptions of 2nd grade dental students before and after training. Material and Methods: A total of 16 photographs which contain golden ratio, buccal corridor, midline deviation, incisal embrasure, lip line, midline diastema, dark triangles and smile arc were shown to 78 dental students (33 male, 45 female). Immediately after the training about the smile esthetics, the same photos were shown again. The effect of gender on esthetic perception was also examined, in addition to assessing the effects of education on esthetic perception. Pearson Chi-square, Fisher’s Exact test and McNemar test were used in the analysis of the results. Results: According to the results of the analysis, it was found that the answers of the smile arc before and after the education were statistically significant (p< 0.05). Accordingly, the rate of correct answers of women is statistically higher than that of men. A statistically significant difference was found between the responses to the gingival appearance in the smile before and after the education (p< 0.05). Conclusions: Based on the limited results of this study, professional dental education may affect the esthetic evaluation of smile. There were differences in the esthetic perception of women and men.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Aim The aim of this article is full mouth rehabilitation of adult rampant caries with a pragmatic approach. Background Dentistry has evolved from treating pain and oral diseases to improving esthetics and the overall look and appeal of an individual. Rampant caries are the nightmares of every individual, which are even more grossly accentuated in adults when compared with children. It can lead to emotional imbalance and the near death of a person's confidence. The prognosis of the treatment depends upon the age of the patient, extent of decay, cooperation of the patient, and the patient's motivation toward dental treatment. Herein, the pragmatic approach comes into play, by focusing on what is still left in the patient's arsenal. This simply means the esthetics of the patient's dentition has been improved from the original appearance, but may not be perceived as “dental perfection,” which can be accomplished through adhesive restorations. Case report A 38-year-old female patient reported to the department with rapid widespread decay in her upper and lower teeth for 2 years, after her second pregnancy and was mainly concerned with esthetics in her anterior dentition. The treatment included extraction of hopeless teeth irt #16, 26, 46, 15, 22 and root canal treatment reinforced with fiber post #11, 12, 13, 14, 21, 23, 31, 32, 33, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46 followed by composite restorations to enhance the esthetics, and the missing teeth were replaced with removable partial dentures. Conclusion The esthetic result achieved may not conform to the highest dental perfection, but represents an effective way of protecting the teeth from further tooth structure loss, while effecting an improvement in patient-perceived esthetics. This is the concept of pragmatic esthetics. Clinical significance Composite resin restorations represent an effective way of enhancing the esthetics and conservation of the remaining sound tooth structure for rampant caries.

Abstract:

Restorative services for the elderly have been a growing demand through the ages of dental profession. The patients affected by edentulousness feel handicapped and under confident due to reduced chewing efficiency, difficulty in speech and poor facial esthetics. The main objective of dental implant is to replace the tooth, to restore its function, esthetics, and speech. Implant-supported prosthesis gives a good amount of scope to live a healthy life. Implants are the most preferred option to retain removable and fixed prosthesis. Implants have overcome the challenges of the anatomic, psychological and esthetic consequences of edentulousness. Full arch implant-supported prosthesis is a good treatment option for edentulous patients. Many studies have shown that this type of rehabilitation can be a long-term option as their success rates are high. The aim is to present a case report on full mouth rehabilitation with implant-supported cement-retained prosthesis for edentulous maxillary and mandibular arches.

Aim. To find thresholds at which laypersons and dental professionals from Jordanian population perceive abnormalities in sagittal positioning of upper and lower jaws as a major determinant to facial profile esthetics. Materials and Methods. Using photo editing software, a baseline profile image of a young male was manipulated on a 2 mm incremental basis to move each of the upper and lower jaws backward and forward relative to true vertical line (TVL) at which four variables of maxillary and mandibular retrusion and protrusion were researched. A total of 120 participants divided equally into four groups of laypersons, general dental practitioners (GDPs), orthodontists, and oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMFSs) rated the images using an analog scale of 100 mm long. The image that showed the first statistical difference compared to the baseline was considered as a threshold of abnormality. Results. Laypersons, GDPs, and OMFSs perceived the abnormality in the maxillary retrusion at −5 mm to TVL, while orthodontists defined that at −3 mm. All dental professionals perceived the abnormality in the maxillary protrusion at +1 mm to TVL while the layperson group at +3 mm. A threshold of −7 mm mandibular retrusion to TVL was abnormally perceived by all groups. All dental professionals realized the abnormality in the mandibular protrusion at 0 mm to TVL while the laypersons at +2 mm. Conclusion. These thresholds regarding profile esthetics may contribute to the process of establishing proper orthodontic treatment planning that suits the highest facial esthetic standards.

Abstract:

Dentofacial esthetics plays an important role in social interaction and psychosocial well-being because it affects how people perceive themselves and how they are perceived in society. Dentofacial deviation, such a malocclusion has negatively affect the psychosocial well-being especially in adolescents period, when some aspects of the facial appearance and dental esthetics have great important for adolescent’s self-image and self-esteem. This study was aimed to investigate the effect of the anterior teeth appearance on the adolescents psychosocial in SMAN 10 Padang using Aesthetic Component of the IOTN. The subjects of cross-sectional study were 89 students in SMAN 10 Padang using the simple random sampling. Anterior teeth appearance were assessed by interviewer using the Aesthetic Component of the IOTN. Psychosocial impact was measured through a self-rated Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ). Data analysis included Spearman correlation test. Significant associations were observed between anterior teeth appearance using Aesthetic Component of IOTN and total score PIDAQ (p < 0,001), dental self-confidence (p < 0,001), social impact (p < 0,05), psychological impact (p < 0,05), and esthetic concern (p < 0,05). Anterior teeth appearance has a psychological impact in adolescents using Aesthetic Component of the IOTN. Therefore, it seemed necessary to improve dental esthetic on adolescents for prevent the disturbance on their psychosocial development.

Abstract Objective: To test the hypothesis that several dimensions of the self-perceived psychosocial impacts of dental esthetics are not associated with grades of malocclusion, oral health–related quality-of-life measures, and body self-image in adolescents. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included a convenience sample of 301 adolescents (mean age 16.1 ± 1.8 years, 58.1% female subjects). Demographic data were collected and dental conditions were assessed. The Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) was used for assessment of malocclusion and determination of orthodontic treatment needs. The short form of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14), the Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ), and the Body Satisfaction Scale (BSS) were used to measure adolescents' self-perceived variables. Results: All variables (DAI, OHIP-14, and BSS) were correlated with PIDAQ (P < .001). Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed significant associations (P < .001) of independent variables with the total score of PIDAQ (R2 = 0.29) and dental self-confidence (R2 = 0.30), social impact (R2 = 0.14), psychological impact (R2 = 0.23), and esthetic concern (R2 = 0.13). Conclusion: The hypothesis is rejected. A broad range of adolescents' self-perceived impact of dental esthetics is influenced by severity of malocclusion, oral health–related quality of life, and body satisfaction.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Although there have been a lot of advances in the field of esthetic and cosmetic restorative dentistry, metal—ceramic restorations stand apart in the race to achieve superior esthetics with its strong points of strength and accuracy of cast metal and esthetics of porcelain. To achieve superior esthetic restorations operators are compelled to narrow down their search to all ceramic restorations which are highly expensive. At most times, its use is not rightly justified. A case of a 53-year-old female patient, who reported to the Department of Prosthodontics and Crown 8 Bridge, Manipal College of Dental Sciences, Manipal, is presented here where simple and economic restorative techniques and principles are undertaken to achieve predicable esthetic results.

Abstract:

At the national level, it is considered that around half of 12-year-old children have some type of malocclusion. This problem gives rise to negative functional and esthetic consequences that produce a dissatisfaction in the individual, which is related to the severity of the dental irregularities. Even so, there are differences in their recognition and evaluation, given that it is not uncommon to observe some patients with severe malocclusions who are satisfied with their dental esthetics. Physical and facial appearance play a fundamental role in interpersonal communication; therefore, malocclusion can have a negative effect on social relationships, affecting the self-image and self-esteem of individuals. The objective of this article is to describe the results reported in the literature about the impact of dentofacial esthetics on self-esteem. Evidence about the impact of malocclusions and their relationship with general self-esteem and psychosocial disorders of dentofacial esthetics is varied; there is no direct association between these three measurements in all cases. Below, we present some interesting studies and evidence. The studies reveal the association that exists between malocclusion, general self-esteem and psychosocial disorders in relation to dentofacial esthetics. The majority of studies are in adolescent populations at the national and international level. This clearly shows the lack of studies in young or university age populations, which is of interest in dentistry and public health.

Abstract:

Diseases such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), bulimia, anorexia, and extrinsic alimentary factors may cause dental erosion (DE). The minimally invasive therapeutic attitude preserves the remaining healthy tooth structure. In the earlier stages, the direct restoration of dental lesions is possible, using composite materials. In advanced stages of DE, prosthetic treatments are recommended for stable esthetic and functional results. We present a case of DE in a partially edentulous patient who benefited from a complex therapy. The prosthetic project of the case involves ceramic veneers associated with dental and implant supported fixed prosthesis for the restoration of esthetics, mastication, phonetics and their maintenance

Abstract:

Dental fluorosis is a common disorder caused by excessive fluoride intake during tooth development. The esthetic consequences of dental fluorosis can negatively affect oral health-related quality of life and have lasting psychosocial effects. In severe cases, where the fluorosed enamel is prone to chipping, flaking, and developing caries, minimally invasive procedures are ineffectual and a more substantial restorative approach is required to restore optimal function and esthetics. However, no definitive guidelines exist for the management and treatment of severe dental fluorosis due to the limited evidence available in the literature. This case report describes the full-mouth rehabilitation of a patient with severe dental fluorosis utilizing adhesively bonded all-ceramic crowns, veneers, and overlays. The successful follow-up on this case indicates that adhesively bonded restorations may provide a viable option in the functional and esthetic management of severely fluorosed dentition.
