From function to esthetics: anterior or occlusal compromises to esthetics.

Increased patient expectations together with improved diagnostic, material, and surgical advances have expanded the boundaries of esthetic dentistry. To optimize functional and esthetic success, existing techniques are being enhanced through careful patient selection and management of the occlusion. During the period from 1991 to 1992, several areas relating anterior or occlusal compromises to esthetics have been identified. These include: dental and skeletal malocclusion, periodontal esthetic defects, restorative materials and laboratory techniques, tooth arrangement and maxillomandibular relations, and implant dentistry. This paper reviews some of the literature on these areas during this period.

Esthetic posterior restorations utilizing the double-inlay technique: a novel approach in esthetic dentistry.

The employment of adhesively bonded porcelain or resin composite inlays is considered problematic in Class II cavities extending into the dentin and cannot be recommended as a routine procedure for current clinical practice. A two-part restoration in the form of a double inlay provides an alternative to the clinically established gold inlay restoration. The double inlay is composed of a conventionally cemented metal base and an adhesively bonded porcelain inlay. After the metal substructure is coated with silica or a microretentive opaque glaze is fired, the porcelain inlay can be luted to the metallic base with a bonding resin composite. This procedure incorporates the advantages of cast restorations at the critical cervicoproximal cavity margin and the esthetic and stabilizing properties of the adhesively bonded restoration technique in visible areas.

[Esthetics of face; development of a scale for the measurement of facial esthetics].

The aim of this study was to develop a measurement scale to quantify facial appearance. Four series of 36 facial photographs, boys and girls at two ages, were judged twice by three different panels by means of ratio estimation. Pearson's correlation coefficients were calculated to determine intra- and inter-observer agreement (median r = .78 and .71 respectively) as well as inter-panel agreement (median r = .84). Cronbach's alpha coefficients were established as a measure for the homogeneity within each jury panel (median alpha = .906). The results showed that reproducibility of the ratings as well as agreement between different observers were sufficient. Therefore, a mean overall score for each photograph could be calculated. Finally, for each group a metric scale was composed, consisting of five photographs with their scores.
