Background. This paper reports a case with end-on-molar relation with maxillary anterior teeth proclination, lower anterior teeth crowding, and deep bite. The case was successfully treated in a short span. Clinically significant improvement in the dimensions of the maxillary and mandibular dental arch forms and sufficient space for the eruption of permanent teeth was observed. Conclusion. There...

Trauma to the anterior teeth is a common phenomenon in young children and in adolescents. Uncomplicated crown fracture to the permanent teeth has an intense effect not only on the patient's appearance, but also on function and speech. This case report describes a novel technique in restoring an uncomplicated fractured maxillary anterior tooth in a young patient with direct composite, which is e...

A 50-years old female patient presented for treatment of the anterior maxillary teeth that had been restored repeatedly in the past with direct resin composite restorations. The treatment plan for this patient included all-ceramic shell crowns on all anterior maxillary teeth and the premolars. Shell crowns were selected as the treatment option to ensure optimum esthetic result with increased st...

UNLABELLED In case of severe dental erosion, the maxillary anterior teeth are often particularly affected. Restoring such teeth conventionally (ie, crowns) would frequently involve elective endodontic therapy and major additional loss of tooth structure. A novel, minimally invasive approach to restore eroded teeth has been developed and is currently being tested in the form of a prospective cli...

Deeply impacted supernumerary teeth in the anterior maxillary cannot be generally removed by the conventional labial or palatal surgical approach because of the risk of damaging the surrounding soft tissues and the possibility of injuring the roots of adjacent permanent teeth. In piezosurgery, bony tissues are selectively cut, thereby avoiding the soft tissue damage caused by rotary cutting ins...

PURPOSE Augmentation of anterior maxillary alveolar bone defects before placement of endosseous implants still poses a clinical challenge. Previous traumatic loss of upper anterior teeth is often concomitant with significant bone loss. The aim of augmentation is to reconstitute as far as possible the original hard tissue contour. This is a prerequisite for later optimal positioning of the denta...

AIM The aim of this report is to present five-year follow-ups of two different applications for the use of direct laminate resin-based composite veneers to improve esthetics. BACKGROUND Defects in the maxillary anterior teeth, such as enamel hypoplasia and peg lateral, can present esthetic challenges. Furthermore, a treatment plan that can be completed in a single appointment is highly desira...

Open bite was defined as lack of vertical overlap between the incisor edges of the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth. It can be either located anterior or posterior and can be either dental or skeletal in origin [1]. It was found to be significantly associated with temporomandibular joint disorders [2-4]. Adolescent patients with anterior open bite commonly have masticatory muscle dysfunc...

Maxillary anterior teeth are often referred to as “social six”; if ectopically placed affect the quality of life patient. This article presents a case report skeletal class II patient with Angle’s malocclusion and erupted right maxillary central incisor which is managed fixed orthodontics. highlights importance proper history taking, careful examination, investigations in reaching diagnosis for...
