Esthetic Treatment of Anterior Spacings in a Patient with Localized pISSN, eISSN 0125-5614 Case Report M Dent J 2019; 39 (2) : 53-63 Esthetic treatment of anterior spacings in a patient with localized microdontia using no-prep veneers combined with periodontal surgery: A clinical report Pajaree Limothai, Chalermpol Leevailoj Esthetic Restorative and Implant Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Chulalongkorn University Objectives: This case report describes the treatment of a patient with maxillary anterior spacings, resulting from microdontia, using a multidisciplinary approach to improve her esthetic appearance. Materials and Methods: A 23-year-old Thai female patient had multiple spaces between her maxillary anterior teeth with a high smile line and an unsymmetrical gingival level. The Recurring Esthetic Dental (RED) proportion was used to determine the widths of maxillary teeth and Bolton’s analysis was used to confirm the RED results, after that a diagnostic wax-up model was fabricated. Esthetic crown lengthening was performed from the right maxillary canine to the left maxillary canine to reduce excess gingival exposure and increase the length of the teeth according to the proportion acquired from the calculation. After complete gingival healing, no-prep ceramic veneers were placed on the maxillary anterior teeth using the IPS Empress® Esthetic ceramic system. Results: The no-prep veneers preserved all tooth structures and gave a satisfactory esthetic result. The patient was satisfied with the outcome. The final restorations closed the spaces with the natural appearance the patient desired. The function and occlusion of the restorations were good. The veneers and the periodontal tissues were in good condition at the 1-year recall. Conclusion: The multidisciplinary approach and no-prep ceramic veneers used in this case restored the maxillary anterior spacing and provided an excellent esthetic outcome. However, successful treatment in the anterior esthetic zone requires a thorough diagnosis and meticulous step-by-step treatment planning.

  • Management of Anterior Spacing with Peg Lateral by Interdisciplinary Approach : a Case Report
    Case Report Management of Anterior Spacing with Peg Lateral by Interdisciplinary Approach : A Case Report Dr Sanjay Prasad Gupta Assistant Professor & Consultant Orthodontist, Department of Orthodontics, Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Institute of Medicine, Kathmandu Correspondence: Dr Sanjay Prasad Gupta; Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Anterior spacing is a common esthetic problem of patient during dental consultation. The most common etiology include tooth size and arch length discrepancy. Maxillary lateral incisors vary in form more than any other tooth in the mouth except the third molars. Microdontia is a condition where the teeth are smaller than the normal size. Microdontia of maxillary lateral incisor is called as “peg lateral”, that exhibit converging mesial and distal surfaces of crown forming a cone like shape. A carefully documented diagnosis and treatment plan are essential if the clinician is to apply the most effective approach to address the patient’s needs. A patient sometimes requires a multidisciplinary approach to correct the esthetics and to improve the occlusion. This case report describes the management of an adult female patient with a proclined upper anterior teeth, upper anterior spacing, deep bite and peg shaped upper right lateral incisor tooth through orthodontic and restorative treatment approach. Key words: Anterior spacing, Peg lateral, Esthetic, Interdisciplinary approach INTRODUCTION Peg shaped lateral incisors occur in approximately 2% to 5% of the general population, and women show a Maxillary lateral incisors vary in form more than any slightly higher frequency than men. Usually they are found other tooth in the mouth except the third molars. If the equally on the right and left, uni or bilaterally, however variation is too great, it is considered a developmental some studies have shown their bilateral occurrence anomaly.1 Developmental alterations which are most slightly higher than the unilateral occurrence.

  • Preventing Malocclusions in the 5 to 7 Year Old - Crowding, Rotations, Overbite, and Overjet
    #27 Ortho-Tain, Inc. 1-800-541-6612 PREVENTING MALOCCLUSIONS IN THE 5 TO 7 YEAR OLD - CROWDING, ROTATIONS, OVERBITE, AND OVERJET Dr. Earl O. Bergersen A DESCRIPTION OF THE PREVENTIVE TECHNIQUE Preventing malocclusions from developing in the young child is easier, less costly and less prone to relapse than using standard braces at 11 or 12 years of age. There are several reasons for these differences. Crowding and rotations develop as the permanent front teeth first erupt into the mouth at 5 or 6 years of age. Once erupted into this crowded state, the fibers that secure the teeth in position develop and increase their resistance to change orthodontically as well as increase their tendency for relapse or return to their original positions once straightened. This technique of guiding the erupting teeth in straight initially then uses these resistant fibers that develop around the teeth as an ally rather than as an enemy by letting them keep the teeth straight and prevent them from becoming crowded at a later time. Also, it is easier to prevent the teeth from overerupting initially into an excessive overbite at the time of their normal eruption than to correct their positions afterwards after the fibers have stabilized then into a malocclusion. Also, the correction of vertical and/or horizontal problems such as an excessive overbite or overjet require sufficient facial growth to stabilize the correction and frequently by 11 or 12 years of age there is an inadequate amount of growth present to avoid substantial relapse (especially in the female and accelerated growing male) and may even require surgery for an ideal correction.

  • Non-Syndromic Occurrence of True Generalized Microdontia with Mandibular Mesiodens - a Rare Case Seema D Bargale* and Shital DP Kiran
    Bargale and Kiran Head & Face Medicine 2011, 7:19 http://www.head-face-med.com/content/7/1/19 HEAD & FACE MEDICINE CASEREPORT Open Access Non-syndromic occurrence of true generalized microdontia with mandibular mesiodens - a rare case Seema D Bargale* and Shital DP Kiran Abstract Abnormalities in size of teeth and number of teeth are occasionally recorded in clinical cases. True generalized microdontia is rare case in which all the teeth are smaller than normal. Mesiodens is commonly located in maxilary central incisor region and uncommon in the mandible. In the present case a 12 year-old boy was healthy; normal in appearance and the medical history was noncontributory. The patient was examined and found to have permanent teeth that were smaller than those of the average adult teeth. The true generalized microdontia was accompanied by mandibular mesiodens. This is a unique case report of non-syndromic association of mandibular hyperdontia with true generalized microdontia.

    International Journal of Oral Science www.nature.com/ijos REVIEW ARTICLE OPEN Dental-craniofacial manifestation and treatment of rare diseases En Luo1, Hanghang Liu1, Qiucheng Zhao1, Bing Shi1 and Qianming Chen1 Rare diseases are usually genetic, chronic and incurable disorders with a relatively low incidence. Developments in the diagnosis and management of rare diseases have been relatively slow due to a lack of sufficient profit motivation and market to attract research by companies. However, due to the attention of government and society as well as economic development, rare diseases have been gradually become an increasing concern. As several dental-craniofacial manifestations are associated with rare diseases, we summarize them in this study to help dentists and oral maxillofacial surgeons provide an early diagnosis and subsequent management for patients with these rare diseases.
