Technological advances in materials and techniques have been allowing to obtain natural esthetic results with conservative interventions. Ceramic veneers are very effective tools for both esthetic and functional rehabilitation. Laminate veneers are a conservative treatment of unesthetic anterior teeth. This evolution of materials, ceramics, and adhesive systems permits improvement of the esthet...

Objective: The purpose of this review was to examine how tissue architecture, surgical procedures, implant components and prosthetic factors contribute collectively toesthetic success in the maxillary anterior and premolar region (esthetic zone).Materials and methods: Pubmed, Embase and the Cochrane electronic databases weresearched for prospective human studies that investigate sin...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the treatment outcome of implants placed in the maxillary anterior segment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients were treated with bone-level implants (Straumann Bone Level Implant, Institut Straumann) that supported all-ceramic single crowns and were followed for 2 to 4 years. Titanium or ceramic abutments were used according to the quality of the soft...

UNLABELLED The goal of this clinical report is to describe and illustrate the principles for achieving a predictable esthetic result for patients with worn incisal edges by creating a harmonious angle of disclusion. Patients can create an esthetic problem from altered tooth form and tooth migration, caused by worn incisal edges resulting from parafunctional activity. This presents substantial c...

INTRODUCTION In this study, we evaluated the effects of orthodontic appliances and an extracted maxillary first premolar on the esthetic evaluation of a smiling face according to the perceptions of orthodontists and laypeople. METHODS Standardized oblique photographs of a young woman with a pleasing smile were taken. The photos were edited by using digital imaging software to produce 10 combi...

Fabricating a restoration which can serve clinically long term without any sign of complication and fulfill the functional and esthetic requirement is very hard to achieve in excessivelly damaged tooth especially when it is in the esthetic zone. The following case report presents an alternate method for the treatment of excessively damaged tooth which can diminish the ability of complication in...

the purpose of these case reports is to analyze the results of gingivectomy and gingival troughing to determine the evidence on the effectiveness of laser-assisted soft tissue procedures and soft tissue management in aesthetic dentistry.the patients in these case reports underwent 980 nm diode laser assisted gingivectomy and gingival troughing to achieve immediate hemostasis and moisture contro...

Due to the development of dental materials and the esthetic requirements of patients, conservative restoration and esthetic dentistry is becoming more and more important.[...].
