Essix appliances. Provisional anterior prosthesis for pre and post implant patients.

Missing anterior teeth are being replaced by implant-supported restorations quite frequently in modern dentistry. Providing the patient with a temporary prosthesis prior to or following implant fixture placement must satisfy established esthetic and functional criteria. When orthodontic treatment is included as part of the overall treatment effort, additional considerations include the retention and stabilization of newly established tooth positions. This article describes the fabrication, use and advantages of a provisional anterior prosthesis that replaces missing teeth prior to or following implant placement.

Periodontal and restorative considerations of molar uprighting.

The sequelae to the loss of a tooth are both numerous and varied. Furthermore, the ramifications of tooth loss increase in severity with time. Consequently, corrective therapeutic measures can become complex both in the diagnosis and treatment of these situations. As the demand for more predictable treatment results grows, the requirements for more efficacious treatment modalities grow as well. Therefore, the need for interdisciplinary treatment within the various areas of dentistry to assist in the complex rehabilitation becomes very important. The purpose of this article is to examine the various benefits of molar uprighting from periodontal, orthodontic, and restorative viewpoints, and to suggest a classification whereby the clinician is directed toward a multidisciplinary treatment approach.

Esthetic periodontics.

Periodontal therapy has developed beyond the scope of the treatment of periodontal pathoses. Periodontal plastic surgery has evolved beyond the techniques of mucogingival surgery and now consists of the regenerative and reconstructive procedures designed to enhance esthetics. This article briefly reviews the historical development of root coverage, ridge augmentation, and papilla preservation and provides an update of the current pertinent literature.
