    Journal of Oral Health REVIEW ARTICLE & Community Dentistry Selfiedontics: The Art Of Selfies Combining Cosmetic Dentistry Tavane P1, Gundappa M2, Dibyendu M3, Agrawal A4, Gupta S5, Dimri S6 ABSTRACT Cosmetic dentistry has gone through potential transformations over the years. 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. Use of selfie should not only be restricted to social platform, but also to educate the patient about his own dental status, and even in treatment planning. 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.

  • Excellecence in Cosmetic Dentistry Message from the AACD President What’S Next?
    EXCELLECENCE IN COSMETIC DENTISTRY MESSAGE FROM THE AACD PRESIDENT What’s Next? Fellow AGD Members, I just want to take a couple of minutes to invite you to sample this mini-version of our Journal of Cosmetic Dentistry. In some ways, this may serve as an introduction to many of you to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry(AACD). As AACD President this year, I am in the enviable position of helping build bridges between two organizations that have each made significant contributions to my career. I confess, I am a continuing education “junkie.” I have been a member of the Academy of General Dentistry since 1974. I joined just to get my CE tracked by someone official in case I ever got sued. Then, one year when I was a little negligent about seeking courses, I got my AGD reminder that I had a “promise” to fulfill in meeting my requirements of membership. It was a wake-up call. It reminded me that we never can afford to let ourselves stop learning. I have never needed another reminder. I remember when I got my AGD Fellowship and how proud I was (and my Dad, too, who was also a Fellow in the AGD). I remember asking myself “What’s Next?” That was the same year as my first AACD conference. Suddenly I was exposed to the greatest cosmetic dentistry get-together the world had ever seen. I was mesmerized. I was challenged. And, I was a little intimidated to see work that beautiful being done by mere mortals. Soon I knew what was next.
