Abstract Background Immediate loading is an attractive option for avoiding secondary surgery. However, it is unclear whether it provides a better aesthetic outcome compared to conventional loading with implants placed in healed ridges. Aims To compare the aesthetic outcomes of immediately and conventionally loaded single implants in healed anterior maxillary ridges. Methodology A systematic review using PICO was conducted. EMBASE, MEDLINE and DoSS databases were searched. The Cochrane Risk of Bias tool for Randomised Controlled Trials and the Effective Public Health Practice Project tool for other study designs were used for quality appraisal. A narrative synthesis was undertaken. Results A total of 622 articles were identified. After screening, a total of five papers were included. Results indicated no statistically significant difference in pink or white aesthetic scores between the immediate and conventional loading groups at 1- and 5-year review and the Papilla Index at the 1-year review. Conclusion Within the limitations of this review, immediate loading of single implants provides a comparable aesthetic outcome to conventional loading in healed ridges of the anterior maxillary.

Purpose To evaluate retrospectively factors influencing the cosmetic outcome after conservative treatment for breast cancer. Material and methods From 1988 until 1992, 164 patients were treated with conservative surgery (quadrantectomy) and radiotherapy with 60Co (50 Gy on the whole breast) plus 10 Gy on the surgical bed (300 kV photons) for T1–T2 breast cancers; 46 patients (28%) received concomitant adjuvant chemotherapy (CMF schedule). Cosmesis evaluation was carried out after 24 to 108 months (median, 38 months). A logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent variables influencing the aesthetic outcome. P values of 0.05 or less were considered significant. Results Univariate analysis showed that T2 versus T1 (P = 0.0102), lower quadrants site (P = 0.0002) and concomitant adjuvant chemotherapy (P = 0.0009) produced a worse aesthetic outcome. Multivariate analysis confirmed the same factors: tumor size (P = 0.0020), tumor site (P = 0.0150) and concomitant chemotherapy (P = 0.0024). Conclusions The significant negative influence on the cosmetic outcome of concomitant adjuvant chemotherapy implies questions about the timing of radiotherapy and chemotherapy in breast cancer conservative treatment.

Objective: Deficiencies of the upper lip vermilion occur with some frequency following repair of unilateral and bilateral clefts of the lip and can compromise the aesthetic outcome. The presence of dense scar tissue within the lip at the cleft site as well as intrinsic vermillion deficiencies can make long-lasting correction of this deformity challenging. We describe a technique to address vermillion deficiencies after cleft lip repair. Design: A novel lip augmentation technique for correction of residual vermilion deficiencies after unilateral and bilateral cleft lip repair is presented. This technique combines precise placement of a contoured dermal fat graft with local tissue (V-Y) rearrangement. Conclusion: In our experience, this method of lip augmentation following either unilateral or bilateral cleft lip repair can restore upper lip vermillion symmetry and provide predictable and durable results in patients with mild to severe vermillion deficiency.

Esthetic demands among the patients have increased markedly over the past few years. The Gingival recession is one of the prime concerns, and there are various treatment modalities in managing recession defects. Most often, outcomes following root coverage procedures are not assessed. Thus the current article aims to determine the aesthetic outcome following various treatment modalities for root coverage procedures using Recession Score (RES). In the present study, seventeen patients with Miller Class I, II and III recession defects treated with root coverage procedures were evaluated retrospectively. Esthetic outcomes were assessed using the root coverage score (RES) . Among 17 managed recession sites, 6(35%) had complete root coverage. Three of six patients who attained complete root coverage had a perfect score (RES-10). Free Gingival Graft showed better root coverage and recession score (RES); however, there was no significant association between root coverage, RES and various treatment modalities used for recession coverage (p>0.05).

Scar Healing

Introduction Depressed tethered scar is a common problem that can cause emotional, social and behavioural problems, especially when it involves the exposed body parts. Several techniques have been described for treating these depressed scars, but none of these can fulfil the optimal results. Aim Evaluating the aesthetic outcome of using a double vest lipodermal flaps for treating depressed facial scars. Materials and methods The study included 25 patients with depressed facial scars who underwent scar revision. Their mean age was 31 years. Under local anaesthesia, the scarred area was de-epithelialised and double dart lipodermal flaps were used for revision. Visual analogue and Vancouver scar scales were used as subjective and objective parameters of evaluation, respectively. Results All the patients followed up for five to eight months. No complications were observed during the scar healing period. Patients satisfaction according to the visual analogue scale showed an average value of 8. The mean total scale according to the Vancouver scar scale was 2.6. Conclusion The new technique of using double vest lipodermal flaps is simple and offers a promising alternative for revising depressed scars.
