Background Lots of studies on maxillary anterior teeth proportions have been studied in different populations in various countries, but no studies have been conducted in Nepal on the esthetic maxillary anterior teeth proportions. Objective The study was done to investigate the maxillary anterior teeth proportions in a Nepalese population. Teeth proportions in the total population were compared ...

When natural teeth are lost it becomes difficult to arrange the teeth in their original position in the complete dentures. A variety of guides has been suggested for arranging teeth and are called the Bio-Metric guides. Incisive Papilla is a commonly used and a reliable landmark in the arrangement of anterior teeth. Different values are reported for the distance between it the anterior teeth. T...

OBJECTIVE This article presents a case report of restoration of anterior teeth using an indirect technique with composite veneers in order to restore the dental anatomy and to provide aesthetic and function of anterior teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS A treatment of upper anterior teeth with indirect micro-hybrid composite restoration was proposed to a 40-year-old woman with old discolored and fr...

Anterior crossbite is the term used to define an occlusal problem involving palatal positioning of maxillary anterior teeth relative mandibular teeth. It has a reported incidence 4-5% and usually result malposition incisors resulting from lingual eruption path. Three male patients department pediatric preventive dentistry, Sri Aurobindo College Dentistry with chief finding cross bite were treat...

INTRODUCTION In cases where the patient experiences trauma, the teeth may be fractured or a bone segment could be fractured causing misplaced teeth. Ceramic veneer restorations may be a solution for re-establishing the ideal position. The treatment of misplaced dental arch segment is presented and treatment options are discussed. CASE PRESENTATION A 30-years-old female Turkish patient had a h...

Pediatric dentists should always aim for esthetic and functional rehabilitation of decayed/traumatized primary teeth. The most common method for restoring such teeth involves the use of "strip crowns" with composites, while the recent trend is toward using other extracoronal restorations including preve-neered stainless steel crowns and zirconia crowns. All these restorative options have shown ...

The internal anatomy of mandibular anterior teeth is more complex than previously assumed with high incidence of two canals. Performing endodontic treatment in mandibular anterior teeth can pose several challenges if the traditional lingual approach is adopted. A labial or labioincisal approach is more appropriate in managing such teeth. A case is described where a labial access preparation pro...

This paper describes an appliance to replace prematurely lost maxillary anterior teeth. A review of the literature is given. The prosthesis is different from previous appliances in its use of intraorally placed composite-filled celluloid crown forms. This allows for superior control of both esthetics and functional occlusal relationships. A case presentation is given describing laboratory and o...

Our knowledge on the growth of anterior teeth in extant and extinct humans has recently been broadened. Two studies have compared Neandertal dental growth with that of Upper PaleolithiceMesolithic humans and with modern contemporary humans. Neandertals clearly show fewer perikymata in their anterior teeth than do Upper PaleolithiceMesolithic people of Europe, as reported by Ramı́rez Rozzi and Be...
