To restore a tooth to its functional health, four basic determinants of dental esthetics; position, contour, texture and colour in the said sequence are required. Clark1 said, “Color, like form, has three dimensions, Hue, Value, and Chroma. An understanding of the science of color and color perception is crucial to success in the ever-expanding field of esthetic restorative dentistry. It is pos...

Supernumerary teeth are considered as one of the most significant dental anomalies during the primary and early mixed dentition stages. They are of great concern to the dentists and parents because of the eruption, occlusal, and esthetic problems they can cause. Supernumerary teeth occur more frequently in the permanent dentition but rarely in primary dentition and more often seen in males. A s...

INTRODUCTION Previous studies evaluated the perception of laypersons to symmetric alteration of anterior dental esthetics. However, no studies have evaluated the perception of asymmetric esthetic alterations. This investigation will determine whether asymmetric and symmetric anterior dental discrepancies are detectable by dental professionals and laypersons. METHODS Seven images of women's sm...

Injury of anterior teeth is a relatively common event that mainly affects children and adolescents. Dentists are confronted with managing dental trauma and restoring fractured teeth on a regular basis. Hence the techniques that speed and simplify the treatment, restore esthetics and improve long term success rate are considered of potential value. If an intact tooth fragment is present after tr...

Vital teeth tend to present color changes that compromise esthetics substantially. These discolorations can be extrinsic or intrinsic according to the location and the cause of the stain. Many dentists have indicated the treatment of intrinsic discolorations with bleaching agents. Thanks to innovations in bleaching agents, tooth whitening has become more and more popular among dental profession...

Bimaxillary deficiencies (BMD) are frequently observed in adult patients and an increasingly recognized major orthodontic problem. Transverse skeletal deficiency (TSD) is a common clinical problem associated with narrow basal and dentoalveolar bone. An adequate transversal dimension is an important factor of stable occlusion and it positively effects facial esthetics and mastication. Narrow and...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate and compare the influence of posterior gummy smile on the perception of smile esthetics by orthodontists, general-dentists and laypersons. STUDY DESIGN A frontal photograph of a smile with normal gum exposure was chosen and manipulated digitally using Adobe Photoshop C3 to generate three further images with posterior gum exposure of 4, 6 and 8mm.
