Full textAbstract:
Dental diastema is a space or absence of contact between two consecutive teeth, which may represent an aesthetic embarrassment for the patient when smiling. For the aesthetic resolution of diastema some factors should be evaluated as, age of the patient, dental structure conservation, reversibility of treatment, cost and longevity. For closing diastema, for a long time, the clinical alternatives were the use of orthodontics and fixed prostheses. Currently, with composite resins, it is possible to reproduce natural characteristics of the teeth with a direct, reversible restorative technique, without the wear of healthy dental structure, with affordable cost, able to provide satisfactory aesthetic results. The aim of this study is to report a case of a patient diagnosed with inter incisor diastema and to present a literature review. Patient, male, 70 years old, was attended at oral clinic of Ingá University Center - Uningá, complaining about the aesthetics of his smile. Clinically, was observed the presence of a diastema between upper incisor, fracture of incisal edge of central incisors and poor dental positioning. A reverse planning of the case was carried out through diagnostic waxing. With aid of a silicone guide, the diastema was closed through reanatomizations in composite resin. After the proposed treatment, was possible to obtain a satisfactory aesthetic in the patient's smile. The closure of diastema, with the use of composite resins was able to provide a better contour to the teeth, closing the spaces present, resulting in an aesthetic and pleasant smile.

Today, in restorative and prosthodontic dental treatments, the focus is on aesthetics. This involves meeting the needs and expectations of the patient. Failures occur not only as a result of technical problems, but also as a result of poor communication with the patient. To avoid these scenarios that may obligate us to repeat the restoration from the beginning, we can obtain help by using Mock-up. Despite communication with the diagnostic and treatment planning step, Mock-up enables us to control the function of the end result without even beginning the work. It also enables us to do a minimal invasive tooth preparation. The aim of this study is to use Mock-up to show its effectiveness in communication, planning, and preparation to achieve the demanded aesthetic dental treatment. Materials and Methods: We prepared mock-up according to wax-up in the second meeting- the treatment planning step. We used a minimal invasive, mock-up guided, preparation technique from the Mock-up accepted by us and the patient. Results: This easy and practical method enabled us to avoid the intervention in the ultimate restoration. Our result is in accordance with those of other authors: we had minimal preparation, even some unprepared surfaces and satisfied patient. Conclusions: The use of Mock-up is a simple technique in aesthetic dentistry. Broadly in prosthodontics, it assures us that the work will be functionally and aesthetically successful.

Aim: This case report aimed to discuss the clinical sequence and the indications of the direct veneer technique with composite resin to mask a discolored tooth. Case report: A 18-year-old male patient attended a Dental School for treatment of the maxillary central incisors. During the initial examination, the patient reported a dental traumatism in childhood fracturing both teeth. Tooth 21 had already been endodontically treated, and the patient complained of the darkened color, while tooth 11 had been fractured for a long time. Results: Poor class IV composite resin restoration was found, showing rests of endodontic material on tooth 21 and class IV dental fracture on element 11. The elements were cleaned, restorative materials were removed and composite resin veneers were made using a silicone guide technique. Finishing and polishing were performed in the next session, reproducing some of the peculiar characteristics of young teeth, consistent with the patient's age, such as macro and microtextures. Conclusion: The use of direct veneers in composite resin proved to be efficient to restore the aesthetics of darkened and fractured teeth, restoring aesthetic satisfaction through the transformation of the patient's smile.

Full textAbstract:
Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) describes often severe, largely Mendelian biomineralisation defects of tooth enamel. AI enamel can be abnormally thin, soft, fragile, pitted and/or badly discoloured, resulting in major morbidity as patients have difficulty maintaining oral hygiene, experience low self-esteem due to poor aesthetics and report an inferior quality-of-life. Improved understanding of biomineralisation defects in AI would assist in clinical management of AI patients. Dental Volumetric Tomography (DVT, commonly known as Cone Beam CT scanning) is a diagnostic X ray based methodology that produces three -dimensional anatomical images of the skeletal tissues (including the teeth). The aim of this study was to investigate the use of DVT to provide detailed dental anatomy associated with AI. A Morita Veraviewpocs 3D R 100 was used to generate high definition 3D digital images of the maxillae of eight AI-affected volunteers (ethics approval N 440–B2-334 U.C.R.). Pulpal calcifications of varying size, Dens in Vaginitus, dental cysts, root fractures, retained teeth and anomalies in the position of the mandibular canal were all common findings. The data also revealed enamel surface irregularities in an unerupted tooth. In conclusion, use of DVT in AI would facilitate phenotyping by providing identification of dental/oral defects with greater accuracy and definition compared with conventional panoramic radiographs. The data could also be used to aid diagnostics, e.g. by permitting discrimination between hypoplastic enamel (diminished enamel volume) and hypomineralized enamel (failure of normal biomineralization). However, given the high costs associated with DVT and the radiation risks for individual patients, it is best indicated as a research tool for academic and clinical research proposes.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> The purpose of this study was to find the effect of chronic rhinosinusitis on dental malocclusion. A malocclusion is defined as an irregularity of the teeth or a mal relationship of the dental arches beyond the range of what is accepted as normal. Malocclusion may not be life-threatening, but it is an important public health issue as it compromises the health of oral tissues and also can lead to psychological and social problems. There are numerous studies in the literature about prevalence of the dental malocclusion but there is no study regarding association of CRS and malocclusion. Several factors related to malocclusion, such as anterior crowding, midline malalignment, and facial asymmetry, have strong effects on the perception of facial aesthetics, which influence the psychological development and in turn, influence social acceptance and self‑perception.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> This was a prospective cross-sectional observational study was conducted from September 2015 to August 2017 and 57 patients with diagnosis of having chronic sinusitis, were evaluated for dental occlusion.

Full textAbstract:
Fibrous dysplasia is a bone disorder whereby normal medullary bone is replaced by fibrous tissue. Many sites may be affected, including the craniofacial skeleton. A 33-year-old female presented at the Bristol Dental Hospital in 2007 complaining of a prominent and expanding lower jaw as well as poor aesthetics. She was diagnosed with craniofacial polyostotic fibrous dysplasia. In order to manage her concerns and the ongoing growth of the polyostotic lesions, a combined maxillofacial and restorative approach was utilized. After ten years of ongoing management and care, including surgery and dental rehabilitation, her primary concerns have been addressed. CPD/Clinical Relevance: The clinician should be able to understand the clinical and radiographic appearance of craniofacial fibrous dysplasia, how the condition can impact a patient and the complex management that may be involved.

Full textAbstract:
BACKGROUND: The advanced periodontal disease is characterised by a strongly pronounced loss of attachment and reduction of the alveolar bone support, which leads to luxation, migration of the teeth, functional discomfort and poor facial aesthetics.
CASE PRESENTATION: The aim of this paper is to present the case of a 26-year-old female patient, registered at the Clinic of Periodontology with highly expressed gingivitis, unsatisfactory periodontal status, presence of diastemas between the frontal teeth and attachment loss of 5-6 millimetres in different areas. We conducted a thorough classic periodontal treatment, as well as training for proper maintenance of oral hygiene, with frequent professional oral-prophylactic sessions, complemented with orthodontic treatment. Fixed orthodontic appliances were installed, and mild forces were applied for gradual levelling of the teeth, with constant control of the periodontal status. After 20 months of treatment, the patient was in retention.
CONCLUSION: Orthodontic therapy of periodontally-affected teeth can begin only after exhaustive administration of a periodontal treatment. Orthodontic treatment as an addition to the periodontal restoration must be gradual with mild forces for an optimal dental response, thus helping to improve function, facial aesthetics and psychological confidence of adult patients.

Full textAbstract:
Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is defined as an interruption of enamel formation due to genetic inheritance. To prevent malfunction of the masticatory system and an unaesthetic appearance, various treatment options are described. While restoration with a compomer in the anterior region and stainless steel crowns in the posterior region is recommended for deciduous dentition, the challenges when treating such structural defects in mixed or permanent dentition are changing teeth and growing jaw, allowing only temporary restoration. The purpose of this case report is to demonstrate oral rehabilitation from mixed to permanent dentition. The dentition of a 7-year-old patient with AI type I and a 12-year-old patient with AI type II was restored under general anesthesia to improve their poor aesthetics and increase vertical dimension, which are related to problems with self-confidence and reduced oral health quality of life. These two cases show the complexity of dental care for structural anomalies of genetic origin and the challenges in rehabilitating the different phases of dentition.

Full textAbstract:
A complete denture is defined as a 'dental prosthesis which replaces entire dentition and associated structures of the maxilla and mandible'. Functions of complete Dentures include restoring aesthetics, mastication, and speech. When all the teeth within a jaw have been lost and need to be replaced, and it is an exclusively tissue-supported prosthesis if implants are not indicated. Tooth loss can occur due to many reasons, such as Dental caries, Periodontal disease, Trauma and Congenital disorders. So the aim of the study was to evaluate the ratio between the female and male patients in receiving the complete denture in dental college and Hospitals. Data of 423 patients records were and retrieved from total data of 86000 patients who visited between June 2019 and March 2020. The study parameters such as age, gender and patients who received complete denture were recorded and converted into excel sheets for tabulation, and the collected data were entered in SPSS and through Chi-square test. Results from the study revealed that prevalence among the males was 59.8% and among the females was 40.2%; distribution of complete denture among various age groups revealed 85.1% above 50 years and 14.9% below 50 years. The association between the age groups and the frequency of gender revealed Pearson Chi-Square Value-0.005;p<0.05 Hence statistically significant. The study showed that male patients and patients above 50 years were more likely to be delivered with a complete denture. The study revealed the male predominance due to their poor oral hygiene.

Full textAbstract:
During the last three decades there has been an increased influx of refugees and immigrants into Scandinavia. The overall aim of this thesis was primarily to improve our knowledge of malocclusion and orthodontic treatment need, both normative and self-perceived, in adolescents of varying geographic origin. A further aim was to determine whether any differences with respect to perception of general appearance and psychosocial well-being were related to geographic origin. Papers I and II concerned self perceived and normative orthodontic treatment need. About 500 12-13 year-old subjects, stratified into different groups: A-Sweden, B-Eastern/Southeastern Europe, C-Asia and D-other countries, answered a questionnaire and underwent clinical examination by the author. In paper III the association between the two variables in papers I and II was investigated. Paper IV was a follow up study, at 18-19 years of age, of the relationship between geographic origin and prevalence of malocclusion, self-perceived treatment need, temporomandibular symptoms and psychosocial wellbeing. In Paper V a qualitative study of 19-20 year old subjects was conducted, to identify the strategies they had adopted to handle the issue of persisting poor dental aesthetics. The main findings were that at 12-13 years of age, immigrant subjects had a lower perceived orthodontic treatment need than subjects of Swedish background. Girls of Swedish background had the highest self perceived treatment need, whilst girls of non-Swedish background were most concerned that fixed appliance therapy would be painful. In a few of the clinical variables measured at 12-13 years of age, the Swedish group exhibited the greatest space deficiency and irregularity in both the maxillary and mandibular anterior segments and greater overjet, compared to the Eastern/Southeastern European and Asian groups. The clinical implications were negligible. The orthodontic treatment need according to “Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need - Dental HealthComponent” (IOTN-DHC) grades 4 and 5, ranged from 30 to 40 percent, without any inter-group differences. There were strong associations between subjects perceiving a need for orthodontic treatment and 6IOTN-DHC grades 4 and 5, anterior crossbite and avoiding smiling because they were self-conscious about their teeth. At the age of 18-19 years, the frequency of malocclusion was similar in all groups. Subjects of Asian origin had a higher self-perceived orthodontic treatment need than their Swedish counterparts and a higher frequency of headache than those of Eastern/Southeastern European origin. Psychological wellbeing was reduced in nearly one quarter of the sample, more frequently in girls than boys. No association was found between self-perceived orthodontic treatment need and psychological wellbeing. The theory “Being under the pressure of social norms” was generated in Paper V, and it can be applied to improve our understanding of young adults who have adjusted to living with poor dental aesthetics and also aid to identify those who are not as well-adjusted and would probably benefit from treatment. Undisclosed dental fear is an important barrier to acceptance of orthodontic treatment in early adolescence. Despite demographic changes due to immigration, no major change in the prevalence of malocclusion and normative orthodontic treatment need has been disclosed. This does not apply to adolescents and adults who immigrated at an older age.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter reviews the topic of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) and cosmetic medical (including surgical) treatments. One of the most concerning aspects of BDD from a clinical perspective is these individuals’ pursuit of non-mental health treatments—such as surgery, dermatologic treatment, and dental treatment—for a mental health problem. The prevalence of BDD among individuals who seek cosmetic surgical and nonsurgical treatments—especially rhinoplasty—is consistently higher than BDD’s estimated prevalence in the general population. Conversely, a high proportion of persons with BDD seek aesthetic procedures to improve their perceived appearance defects. The limited literature on changes in BDD symptoms and psychosocial functioning after these treatments suggest that outcomes appear to often be poor. BDD symptom improvement is rare and, at best, temporary; there also is risk for symptom exacerbation. Provision of cosmetic treatment for BDD concerns may also involve risks for both patients and clinicians. Taken together, these findings suggest that BDD is a contraindication for cosmetic procedures. The chapter concludes with directions for future research.

This chapter introduces the Force Finishing concept that is based upon the T-Scan technology. During case finishing, the aesthetic components are clinically visible and guided by the subjective analyses of the patient and the clinician. Alternatively, the case occlusal force components are invisible and do not become apparent until their adverse effects become chronic. When the force components are not properly addressed, clinicians may encounter Occlusal Force Disorder (OFD) symptomatology. Often, clinicians focus on the aesthetic finishing while placing a low priority on the occlusal Force Finishing by relying on subjective articulating paper mark interpretation and the patient's subjective “feel” with which to guide occlusal adjustments. Because articulating paper is a poor indicator of occlusal force and timing, the T-Scan technology can greatly improve the occlusal case finishing. This chapter details how to integrate the Force Finishing concept into conventional case finishing to simplify achieving occlusal force harmony in every case.
