Powers, Ph.D. Sabiha S. Bunek, D.D.S. demand for cosmetic dental procedures. As our practice was tackling new guidance and PPE requirements during our 3-month shutdown last year, I was surprised to see so many patients requesting procedures EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Sabiha S. Bunek, D.D.S. like teeth whitening, clear aligner treatment, and cosmetic veneers when we opened back up. Some have claimed this is the result of people spending more time on video conferencing calls, aka “the zoom effect”. EDITORIAL BOARD Prior to Zoom, most people never talked to themselves in a mirror, so they had no idea what their teeth Gary Bloomfield, D.D.S. Julius Bunek, D.D.S., M.S. looked like.

Various techniques have now been established to analyze the smile digitally and, to simulate the “Before and After” in a particular case. Selfiedontics defines the amalgamation of selfie-culture with clinical practice of dentistry.

This article focuses on the combination of digital dentistry with that of the cosmetic or esthetic dentistry.

  • Updated Clinical and Technical Protocols for Predictable Immediate Implant Placement
    CLINICAL COVER FEATURE Updated Clinical and Technical Protocols for Predictable Immediate Implant Placement Iñaki Gamborena, DMD, MSD, FID Yoshihiro Sasaki, CDT Markus B. Blatz, DMD, PhD Abstract Whenever possible and indicated, placing implants immediately after extraction has numerous advantages, including significantly increased patient comfort and immediate esthetics. However, this treatment is highly sensitive to proper treatment planning and execution. Not following the most appropriate and updated protocols meticulously can have detrimental, if not devastating, consequences, especially in the esthetic zone. It therefore is critical to understand and apply fundamental biologic principles and to practice the most advanced and proven techniques for ultimate long-term success. This article introduces a comprehensive and updated protocol for immediate implant placement. Critical steps and considerations from treatment planning to execution with long-term follow-up are described. Key Words: immediate implant placement, connective tissue grafts, cone beam computed tomography, extraction, 3D bone packing 36 2020 • Volume 35 • Issue 4 Gamborena/Sasaki/Blatz Journal of Cosmetic Dentistry 37 CLINICAL COVER FEATURE Introduction First Example Restoring both function and esthetics are the ultimate goals In one patient, whose case is shown in Figures 1 through 4, of dental treatment.1 Since the introduction of osseointegra- the maxillary right central incisor (#8) had to be extracted due tion,2 endosseous dental implants have become an established to root resorption (Fig 1) and was replaced by an immediate and proven treatment option with very high long-term success implant (Fig 2).

Surely the rehabilitation times have also been reduced, thanks to the advent of the new implant surfaces, which favour the osseointegration phases and allow the clinician to rehabilitate their patients earlier. To carry out this study, a search was conducted in the Pubmed, Embase and Elsevier databases; the articles initially obtained according to the keywords used numbered 283, and then subsequently reduced to 10 once the inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied. The review that has been carried out on this type of surface allows us to fully understand the features and above all to evaluate all the advantages or not related. The study materials also are supported by a manufacturing company, which provided all the indications regarding surface treatment and confocal microscopy scans.
