ABSTRACT
Objective @#To study smile exposure in 20- to 30-year-olds with convex facial profiles and to explore the correlation between smile exposure and other aesthetic indicators, as well as psychological factors. @*Methods @# This study obtained ethical approval from the hospital. After they gave informed consent and portrait authorization, 80 young subjects aged 20-30 with convex facial profiles had their dynamic postural smile and spontaneous laughter recorded. The videos were imported into Photoshop CC software, key frames were selected, and the smile exposure was measured. The three-dimensional information of the subject's face in a resting state was obtained, the relevant aesthetic indicators were measured, and the satisfaction degree of their smile and laughter were evaluated. Correlation analysis was conducted for smile exposure and the relevant aesthetic indicators and subjective psychological evaluation.@*Results @# There were statistically significant differences in smile exposure, smile patterns, relevant aesthetic indicators and subjective psychological evaluation between males and females aged 20 to 30 (P<0.05). There was a large gap between males and females in the average opening degree when laughing, males having 5 times that of females, while the average gingival exposure height of the maxillary central incisor in males was approximately 1/2 of that in females. The average nasolabial angle of males (99.80° ± 7.96°) was larger than that of females (96.26° ± 7.31°) (P<0.05), while the average ratio of upper lip length to the length of the lower 1/3 of the face of males (33.73% ± 2.35%) was less than that of females (38.57% ± 2.76%) (P<0.05). The average psychological score of males (57.75±13.46) was higher than that of females (53.69±17.95) (P<0.05). The ratios of maxillary teeth and gingival exposure to oral fissure in the postural smile were positively correlated with the nasolabial angle. The oral fissure width in spontaneous laughter was negatively correlated with psychological score.@*Conclusion @# Convex-faced males and females aged 20 to 30 have different smile exposures and smile patterns. Males tend to smile more openly with a larger opening and less gingival exposure, while females tend to grin with a small opening and more gingival exposure. Smile exposure is positively correlated with nasolabial angle and negatively correlated with smile satisfaction.
ABSTRACT
Many patients with large-area tooth defect need cast post-core crown restoration. However, the color defect of the cast post-core will affect the final restorative result, especially that of the anterior teeth. A new technology of color masking by applying CERAMAGE polymeric porcelain to the cast metal post-core surface improves the color of a full-ceramic restoration of anterior teeth and may provide a new alternative for the aesthetic repair of anterior teeth with a large area of defective tooth.

Objective:To investigate the treatment and aesthetic restoration of anterior tooth loosening and falling in the patient with severe periodontitis,and to clarify the curative effect of multidisciplinary treatment in the anterior esthetic zone,and to provide reference for its clinical application.Methods:The male patients was 57 years old,and saw a dcotor becasuse of anterior teeth loosening and discomfort for more than half a year.The specialized examination:11,21,22,41 Ⅲ°loose,42 Ⅱ°loose.After multidisciplinary consultation,the teeth were treated with periodontal therapy.After inflammation was controlled,11,21,22,41,42 were removed for immediate implantation.The platelet rich fibrin(PRF)combined with guided bone regeneration(GBR)was used to repair the bone defect around the implants.Because of the aesthetic requirements of the patients,tooth preparation was performed for 12,13,23,31,32,33,43 after root canal therapy.Fixed restorations were performed in 13-23 and 33-43.Results:After operation,the implant was well positioned and the bone surrounding the implant was adequate.The soft tissue in the mouth healed well and the degree of the alveolar ridge was better.After restoration, the masticatory and phonation function of the teeth were restored,and the patients were satisfied with the aesthetic effect.Conclusion:Through the application of multidisciplinary treatment,the implant repair of the anterior esthetic zone of the patient with severe periodontitis is successfully achieved,which opens a new way for the diagnosis and treatment of the anterior esthetic zone.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To discuss the therapeutic effect of related periodontal surgical treatment and aesthetic rerepair in the patient with residual root and crown of anterior teeth induced by unfitting prosthesis and to clarify the curative effect of periodontal surgical treatment and aesthetic re-repair in the anterior teeth area,and to provide guidance for making the program of clinical treatment.Methods:Two years after repair of the anterior teeth of a patient,the restorations loosed;on the one hand the patient had a toothache of chewing food accompanying gingival bleeding,on the other hand the upper labial frenum was too high,furthermore the upper left incisor apical area showed low density images.After the consultation of periodontics,endodontics,prosthodontics and other disciplines doctors,anterior teeth root canal re-treatment and periodontal basic treatment were adopt as well ascrown lengthening combined with labial freneetomy to restore the normal biological width,additionally apply not only guided bone regeneration (GBR) but also platelet rich fibrin (PRF) to repair the defects of apical bone.One month later,provisional restorations were put into use and then three months later permanent repairs were conducted.Results:The corresponding gingival and gingival papilla shape recoverd perfectly and the height of gingiva coordinated with that of adjacent teeth,in the meantime the upper labial frenum attached normally and there was not obvious space between upper incisors;the morphology and function examination of restoration in maxillary anterior region were both well.The follow-up X-ray showed that the bone density of the defect area was the same as that of the peripheral bone without obvious boundaries.Conclusion:The aesthetic repair of thin biotype referring to anterior area,especially in the complicated re-treatment cases,the intervention of the appropriate periodontal surgical treatment is not only beneficial to obtain the obvious short-term effect,but also positive to stabilize longterm effects.

Objective: To discuss the therapeutic effect of related periodontal surgical treatment and aesthetic rerepair in the patient with residual root and crown of anterior teeth induced by unfitting prosthesis and to clarify the curative effect of periodontal surgical treatment and aesthetic re-repair in the anterior teeth area, and to provide guidance for making the program of clinical treatment. Methods: Two years after repair of the anterior teeth of a patient, the restorations loosed; on the one hand the patient had a toothache of chewing food accompanying gingival bleeding, on the other hand the upper labial frenum was too high, furthermore the upper left incisor apical area showed low density images. After the consultation of periodontics, endodontics, prosthodontics and other disciplines doctors, anterior teeth root canal re-treatment and periodontal basic treatment were adopt as well as crown lengthening combined with labial freneetomy to restore the normal biological width, additionally apply not only guided bone regeneration (GBR) but also platelet rich fibrin (PRF) to repair the defects of apical bone. One month later, provisional restorations were put into use and then three months later permanent repairs were conducted. Results: The corresponding gingival and gingival papilla shape recoverd perfectly and the height of gingiva coordinated with that of adjacent teeth, in the meantime the upper labial frenum attached normally and there was not obvious space between upper incisors; the morphology and function examination of restoration in maxillary anterior region were both well. The follow-up X-ray showed that the bone density of the defect area was the same as that of the peripheral bone without obvious boundaries. Conclusion: The aesthetic repair of thin biotype referring to anterior area, especially in the complicated re-treatment cases, the intervention of the appropriate periodontal surgical treatment is not only beneficial to obtain the obvious short-term effect, but also positive to stabilize longterm effects.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the treatment and aesthetic restoration of anterior tooth loosening and falling in the patient with severe periodontitis, and to clarify the curative effect of multidisciplinary treatment in the anterior esthetic zone, and to provide reference for its clinical application. Methods: The male patients was 57 years old, and saw a dcotor becasuse of anterior teeth loosening and discomfort for more than half a year. The specialized examination: 11, 21, 22, 41 III° loose, 42 II° loose. After multidisciplinary consultation, the teeth were treated with periodontal therapy. After inflammation was controlled, 11, 21, 22, 41, 42 were removed for immediate implantation. The platelet rich fibrin (PRF) combined with guided bone regeneration (GBR) was used to repair the bone defect around the implants. Because of the aesthetic requirements of the patients, tooth preparation was performed for 12, 13, 23, 31, 32, 33, 43 after root canal therapy. Fixed restorations were performed in 13-23 and 33-43. Results: After operation, the implant was well positioned and the bone surrounding the implant was adequate. The soft tissue in the mouth healed well and the degree of the alveolar ridge was better. After restoration, the masticatory and phonation function of the teeth were restored, and the patients were satisfied with the aesthetic effect. Conclusion: Through the application of multidisciplinary treatment, the implant repair of the anterior esthetic zone of the patient with severe periodontitis is successfully achieved, which opens a new way for the diagnosis and treatment of the anterior esthetic zone.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the aesthetic results of medial upper Iip repair for skin and soft tissue defects using local flap.Methods According to the location and the size of upper lip defect,the modified rhomboid flap of 60 ° above the defect was designed to repair the wound in philtrum;the O-L flap along philtral column to vermilion border was designed to cover the wound close to the peak and lateral to philtral column.Results Twenty-one postoperative patients that underwent pigmented nevus removal (12 female,9 male;ages 16-33 years) had defects in philtrum for 10 cases and close to the peak and philtral column for 11 cases.The diameter of the defect ranged from 0.5 cm to 1.0 cm.All flaps survived primarily without any complications and follow-up was for 1 to 18 months with excellent outcomes in all cases.All patients were satisfied with contour and functions.No pigmented nevus recurrence occurred.Conclusions The flap designed according to the aesthetic principle could be used to repair medial upper lip defect of medium-sized,which not only obtains functional reconstruction,but also satisfies aesthetic results,with aesthetic subunits saved and scar concealed.
