Creating tight, anatomically correct interproximal contacts.

Achievement of an excellent contact, one that provides a natural look and feel, reproducing the natural tooth contact or sometimes improving it, can be achieved in many ways. Understanding the separate issues of tightness and anatomy is crucial to achieving the desired result. In most cases, use of a contoured sectional matrix and McKean-style ring is the surest way to achieve the desired result. Unusual circumstances, such as wide preparations and malpositioned teeth, call for innovative techniques, some of which are illustrated in this article.

Smile analysis and face-bow transfer: enhancing aesthetic restorative treatment.

The objective of current aesthetic dental treatments are to enhance the patient's smile by improving the overall dental appearance. A detailed analysis of the patient's face as it relates to the three-dimensional position, shape, and color of the teeth is required to improve this appearance. A full frontal and lateral evaluation of the patient's facial form is required to successfully complete on aesthetic smile evaluation. Additional considerations include cephalometry and a thorough dental analysis. This article demonstrates a comprehensive smile analysis technique and its communication to the dental technician.

Prosthetic procedures for optimal aesthetics in single-tooth implant restorations: a case report.

Restoration of a single-tooth implant in the anterior maxilla requires a multidisciplinary approach throughout the treatment and proper communication between the clinician and laboratory technician. Although surgical procedures have an important role in the manipulation of the soft tissues, it is often necessary to perform final contouring of the soft tissue through the provisionalization stage. Unless the soft tissue contour supports the definitive restoration, the treatment is considered a failure. This article reviews various prosthetic procedures that influence the soft tissue contour and establish aesthetics for implant-supported restorations.

Sequential tooth preparation for aesthetic porcelain full-coverage crown restorations.

The fabrication and delivery of functional, biocompatible restorations with a natural appearance have become the definitive goals of restorative dentistry. Although contemporary ceramic materials allow light to be manipulated in restorations to replicate the natural dentition, this objective can be difficult to achieve when tooth preparation is not performed properly. This article presents a sequential approach that can be used to render the proper shape and margin design critical to the fabrication of full-coverage crown restorations that are indistinguishable from the adjacent natural teeth.

Achieving aesthetic excellence through an outcome-based restorative treatment rationale.

The conceptual basis of restorative-driven implant dentistry is well established among clinicians. Its implementation includes the development of a prosthetic blue-print that will serve as a guide throughout therapy. While these concepts may be applied to prosthetic dentistry in general, their benefits are most compelling in the treatment of the aesthetic zone. This article demonstrates a systematic multidimensional approach for the establishment and incorporation of definitive aesthetic objectives throughout the diagnostic, adjunctive, and restorative treatment phases.

Flapless anterior implant surgery: a surgical and prosthodontic rationale.

Full-thickness periosteal flap surgery is often accompanied by potential marginal bone loss and/or soft tissue recession. This is critical, particularly for the single-unit implant-supported restoration in the anterior maxilla, where the harmony of the soft and hard tissue architecture is of paramount importance to the development of natural aesthetics and function. This article demonstrates a flapless implant surgery technique in the anterior maxilla for optimal aesthetic results. The indications and limitations of this procedure are also discussed.
