Esthetic Dentistry vs Cosmetic dentistry
|
Esthetic - Needed dentistry done esthetically
Cosmetic dentistry - Elective dentistry used to enhance cosmetics |
|
Smile analysis areas of concern
|
Facial esthetics
Macroesthetics of smile zone aka Display zone Microesthetics of dental tissues |
|
Facial Esthetics
|
Study of Parameters of facial beauty
- Replace missing teeth and alveolar tissues - Restoring vertical dimension - Orthognathic surgery - Standard orthodontics - |
|
Golden Proportion
|
1.618/10
Phi = 1.618 |
|
Macroesthetics
|
Relationships and ratios of teeth to each other, to soft tissues, and to facial characteristics
- Midline: Starting point, Nasion to base of philtrum, view 4-6 weeks. Atleast parallel to prevent Canted midline. - Symmetry - Incisal Embrasures - Tooth reveal - Vestibular space - Shade progression |
|
Contacts/Connectors
|
Contact - Area of actual contact between teeth
Connector - Area where teeth appear to touch; ideally from embrasure to papilla |
|
Minimum Reveal
|
Lips at rest but parted
2-4mm in young & decreases with age |
|
Incisal edge position
|
Length and Buccal-lingual position
- Probably the most important factor in how esthetic the smile is |
|
Maximum Reveal
|
Have patient smile as big as they can or trying to have them say E in an exaggerated way
- Tells you how critical esthetic aspects of gingival area of restorations will be. Perio? Subgingiva? PFM? |
|
Intercommissure line
|
Maxillary anterior should fill 75% to 100% of space below the line for a youthful smile
|
|
Smile Line
|
Should follow lower lip in smile pose
- Should be flatter in men and be esthetic |
|
Microesthetics
|
Shape, Size, Color, Surface anatomy and texture, Translucency, and periodontal considerations
|
|
Length/Width
|
1/0.8
Width should be 75-80% Length |
|
Size determination
|
- Surrounding teeth
- Space available - Smile analysis and design - Gingival Margin Position - Golden proportion |
|
Surface Anatomy
|
- Light reflection Highlights it
- Older teeth are smoother |
|
Translucency
|
- Not too little or too much
- Should be subtle - Difficult to mask color and make it translucent |
|
Bonding vs Veneers
|
Bonding
- More conservative - Cheaper - Totally under your control - Can chip and discolor and can't make significant color change - Can't add too much length because composite not strong enough Veneers - More durable - More esthetic of done well - Can make more significant color and shape change - Little to no maintenance - Not as conservative - More expensive - Can't alter like crowns to stain or add porcelain |
|
Crowns vs Veneers
|
Crowns
- Easier to do and modify - Indicated for extensive restorations or wears and bruxers - Indicated when endo involved Veneers - More conservative - More esthetic and natural - Occlusion unchanged Much easier to match crown to veneer because there's more porcelain |
|
How to prevent a dark triangle
|
Distance from contact point to bone
5mm or less - Papilla fills 100% 6mm - 56% 7mm or more - 27% |
|
Bleaching for Cosmetics
|
Always offer to patients needing cosmetic dentistry
- Must wait atleast 2 weeks before shade selection for rebound |
|
Veneer preps
|
Initial depth cuts
- 0.3mm Gingival - 0.5mm middle and incisal Proximal margins about 0.5mm Prepare 75% through contact Incisal reduction 1.5mm of not changing length |
|
Shewing the cusp
|
C is done for bicuspids and fat cuspids
|
|
Proximal margin types
|
At contact
- Ideal when teeth are in good alightment - Margin not visible - Easy bonding and finishing Lingual proximal margins - Indicated for previously restored or carious teeth - Can close diastema or when teeth have been stripped |
|
Indications & Disadvantages of slice prep
|
- Diastema closure
- Large interproximal lesions - Dark triangles - Crowding - Need more retention - Less conservative - Less definite seating - Risk of undercut |
|
Staining and Glazing
|
Strength
Smooth Shade or color alteration |
|
3 Ways to finish porcelain
|
Natural glaze - Used when adding contact
Polish Separate glaze cycle |
|
Types of coloring
|
Additive color - Start with black and end with white
Subtractive color - Start with white and end with black Staining is a subtractive color system |
|
Vita Shade Guide
|
Hue
A - Orange Grey B - Yellow C - Grey D - Grey Brown A & D are translucent Chroma is 1-4 |
|
Change incisal edge translucency
|
- Add grey or violet to increase translucency
- Add white to lingual to decrease translucency. |
|
Before and After glazing
|
Crown comes out lighter than it looks going in
|
|
Porcelain Veneer Provisionalization Techniques
|
Luxatemp
- Self cure, used with clear stent or impression Standard Composite - Traditionally used Acrylic - Least desirable |
