Application of composite resin for single-appointment anterior and posterior diastema closure.

Due to aesthetic and periodontal factors, patients often seek treatment to close diastemata. This condition may be eliminated by either direct or indirect techniques. Indirect techniques generally require multiple visits to facilitate the placement of laminate, crown, or bridge restorations, and involve significant financial expense. Direct techniques can be economical and successful, although they present unique challenges in the achievement of satisfactory proximal contacts and contours. This article describes three clinical techniques that may be employed to treat anterior and posterior diastemata in a single appointment.

The full veneer as an alternative to the full crown.

The use of ceramic veneers on the facial and incisal surfaces of teeth has become an integral part of our esthetic armamentarium. The success rate on these restorations has led to increased optimism and expanded applications. The full veneer uses bonded ceramic veneers to restore additional tooth surfaces. The result is a highly esthetically pleasing restoration that is functional and very conservative compared with traditional crowns.

Full-mouth porcelain rehabilitation.

The understanding and development of cosmetic choreography as both an art and a science has enabled clinicians to restore structure and function to damaged dentitions while restoring aesthetic harmony to their patients' oral and facial appearance. This review presents a case of full-mouth, all-porcelain rehabilitation, embracing the interplay between diagnosis, treatment planning, material selection, and cosmetic choreography.

Composite smile designs: the key to dental artistry.

Patients seeking to improve the appearance of their smiles have driven the profession toward more challenges in esthetic dentistry to answer their needs. Better smiles are being equated with better living. Direct composite veneering has gained tremendous popularity over the past few years because the procedure can be done in one single appointment for a reasonable fee with acceptable results. Materials recently put on the market require stratification build-up techniques to allow for the best natural results. In addition, the procedure gives patients the freedom of live communication and dentists the emotive artistic recreation of a smile composition in which anterior teeth can be designed and redesigned through freehand craftmanship, until both patient and dentist are pleased with the results. This review highlights the benefits of direct composite veneering, a very unique process to investigate more about tooth and smile designs, and suggests more effective communication between patient and dentist in order to achieve predictable results.

Trans-surgical restoration of extensive Class IV defects in the anterior dentition.

Direct bonding is the most commonly utilized treatment for conservative aesthetic restoration of the anterior dentition. Class IV defects require special attention due to their high incidence, particularly in young patients. One of the major challenges for the clinician in treating defects in this category is selecting the appropriate restorative composite resin material that emulates the physical and optical characteristics of dentin and enamel and conceal the fracture line at the tooth/composite interface. Class IV defects with margins violating the biologic width present another concern, since this violation often impedes the attainment of the correct anatomic contours. The learning objective of this article is to describe a technique for achieving a correct integration of the periodontium, the tooth structure, and the restorative composite resin material to achieve a high level of aesthetic excellence.

Cracked tooth syndrome--incidence, clinical findings and treatment.

Cracked tooth syndrome (CTS) is a common occurrence in modern general practice. This article reviews the forces placed on the human dentition and the effect restorative dentistry has on the strength of tooth structure. The study reports on the incidence of CTS in a general practice, finding a far higher incidence in teeth which have had the marginal ridge restored than those which have not. The various types of treatment modalities advocated and their relative merits are discussed.

Tissue management needs for adhesive dentistry now and in the future.

Hemostasis and other tissue control has always been important for proper impression making; however, the need for these procedures has never been more present than in contemporary adhesive dentistry. Bondable restorations demand as contaminant-free a field as possible. This article provides a simple and effective method for addressing hemostasis and sulcular fluid control for soft tissue management in adhesive dentistry.

Ultraconservative dentistry.

Ultraconservative techniques are providing dentists with new opportunities for the rehabilitation of the debilitated dentition. These techniques involve the use of bonded, reinforced ceramics that restore function and esthetics. The new parameters of ultraconservative treatment include the routine use of supragingival margins, color gradients, and the alteration of the occlusal vertical dimension. The minimally invasive nature of these new techniques makes them more readily acceptable to, and more easily maintainable by, patients.

Esthetic dentistry in the twenty-first century. Healthy beauty.

The goal of esthetic dentistry in the twenty-first century is to attain healthy beauty by harmonizing morphology and function. Morphologic beauty is achieved by using restorative techniques such as ceramo-metal restoration, all-ceramic restoration, laminate veneer, bleaching, and the treatment of malocclusion. Functional beauty is obtained by facilitating the primary functions of the stomatognathic organ, namely, mastication, speech, and craniomandibular stability. In the next century, esthetic dentistry must combine the present focus of morphologic beauty with the goals of functional beauty to attain true, healthy beauty.

Achieving optimal gingival esthetics around restored natural teeth and implants. Rationale, concepts, and techniques.

The role of prosthetic restorations in the final appearance of the surrounding soft tissues has long been recognized. Innovative prosthodontic concepts as described should be used to enhance the biologic as well as the esthetic data of the supporting tissues, in natural teeth and implants alike. Combined dental treatment modalities of different kinds (i.e., orthodontics, periodontal treatment) are often required for optimal results. Meticulous care and attention to the delicate soft tissues should be given throughout all phases of the treatment, with a view to achieving a functional, healthy, and esthetic oral environment.

Five steps to selling cosmetic dentistry.

The 5-S selling system works extremely well when used properly. Because each 5-S selling system step relates closely to a treatment planning step, skipping portions or rearranging the process only negates its results. The dentist should also consider having a meeting with all staff and training them on the benefits and verbal skills necessary for presenting cosmetic dentistry. Case acceptance occurs when patients feel comfortable and perceive value. By facilitating both, the 5-S selling system provides the dentist with an opportunity to enjoy higher productivity with a smaller group of patients.
