The use of reliable indices to evaluate the aesthetic outcomes in the aesthetic area is an important and objective clinical aid to monitor the results over time. According to the literature various indices were proposed to evaluate aesthetic outcomes of implant-prosthetic rehabilitation of the anterior area like Peri-Implant and Crown Index [PICI], Implant Crown Aesthetic Index [ICAI], Pink Esthetic Score/White Esthetic Score [PES/WES], and Pink Esthetic Score [PES] but none of them was related to prosthetic rehabilitation on natural teeth. The aim of this study is to verify the validity of PES/WES index for natural tooth-prosthetic rehabilitation of the anterior area. As secondary objective, we proposed to evaluate the long-term predictability of this clinical application, one of which is presented below, following the analysis of the most currently accepted literature.

Rehabilitation of severely worn dentition represents a significant clinical challenge, especially when the restorative space is not sufficient. Creating restorations that fulfil the aesthetic, occlusal and functional parameters are essential to long-term success. This case report describes a 48-year-old male, who had severely worn dentition, which resulted in collapsed vertical dimension. The initial treatment involved careful planning, stabilization of existing dental diseases and construction of provisional prostheses at increased vertical dimension. Once the compatibility of the new vertical dimension had been confirmed, permanent reconstruction was performed. As with all full mouth prosthetic rehabilitation cases, equal-intensity centric occlusal contacts on all teeth and an anterior guidance in harmony with functional jaw movements were critically taken into account in each treatment phases.

ABSTRACT In cases where patients are left with few teeth, clinicians face a dilemma. Psychological satisfaction of the patient by retaining the natural teeth not only provides retention but also helps in the preservation of the alveolar bone and proprioception. Overdenture therapy has a long-term advantage where the forces of mastication are directed along the long axis of the abutment teeth, which provides guidance and support and further prevents the dislodgement of denture during movements. Overdenture design remains one of the best treatment options for patients who do not have the financial ability to support an extensive restorative treatment. This management is a preventive prosthodontic therapy, which can delay or eliminate future prosthodontic problems. This case report is about the prosthetic rehabilitation of a partially edentulous patient using a hybrid overdenture with a double crown for the maxilla and conventional overdenture for the mandible, giving the patient a denture with better esthetics, more support, and retention.

Autologous lamellar corneal grafts were performed on four dogs with two deep corneal ulcers and two corneal perforations to achieve better visual and aesthetic outcomes. The donor corneal graft was harvested from the relatively normal corneal region of the affected eye and used to cover the corneal defect. At the two-year follow-up examination, ultrasound biomicroscopy was performed to confirm the thickness and endothelial continuity of the transplanted grafts and donor site of the cornea. The evaluations revealed that the dogs had healed without incident and that their vision had been maintained. Furthermore, the owners were satisfied with the aesthetic outcomes in all cases. Our findings show that autologous lamellar corneal grafts are useful and effective in treating canine corneal ulcers and perforations.

AbstractSeveral difficulties are encountered in providing a successful, single complete denture treatment. This case report deals with successful rehabilitation of completely resorbed mandibular ridge opposing a full complement of natural teeth prosthetically incorporating metal denture base in place of the conventional Poly Methyl Methacrylate material to combat the masticatory forces from natural dentition and improve the longevity of the prosthetic rehabilitation, at the same time improving the strength of the mandibular denture base.

Dental implants in partially edentulous patients are a predictable therapeutic option. In patients with reduced bone volume, tooth-to-implant connected prostheses have been described as a treatment option. In this systematic review, the incidence of biologic and technical complications and the long-term survival rates of tooth-implant supported fixed partial dentures (FPDs) are analyzed. In cases where a natural tooth is connected with an implant to support a FPD, a rigid connection should be preferred.

Peg shape is one of the abnormalities of dental anatomy, i.e. tooth size is smaller than average and tapered shape. These peg-shaped teeth are often found in the maxillary lateral incisors and third molars. The form on the lateral incisor often causes aesthetic problems because of its anterior position. One of the treatments for peg-shaped teeth is Veneer. Case report: 26 years old woman had a peg-shaped shape on both lateral incisors. Indirect veneer aesthetic treatment was performed using Ceramage to correct the form and cover the diastema to achieve better aesthetics. Wax-up is done to see the suitability of the shape and proportion of the Veneer. Patients get a visual picture of the expected treatment results. The treatment results in Ceramage gave an excellent condition in improving the shape of the Peg-shaped incisor. The veneer colour resembles natural teeth, and the patient is satisfied with the treatment results. Ceramage can be used as a treatment option for anterior teeth with deformities. Ceramage Veneer is an alternative that can be done to improve the aesthetic appearance at a more economical cost for anterior teeth.

The rehabilitation of complex cases in the anterior region of the maxilla may require knowledge of several dental specialties. when dental involvement also causes bone and gingival involvement, management usually requires adjustment of gingival zenitis and bone graft to compensate for bone loss. Objective: to discuss a case of previous orthodontic treatment for implant-prosthetic rehabilitation in the anterior region. Case report: This case report describes a 40-year-old patient who came with the intention of extracting the tooth and installing a bridge. The implant-prosthetic treatment was performed after previous orthodontic treatment to adapt the gingiva and space. Conclusion: The interrelationship of specialists in oral rehabilitation improved the aesthetic and functional result of this complex case. Orthodontic mechanics and periodontics adapted the space and improved the periodontal condition before the implant was installed, resulting in a very satisfactory aesthetic, improving the patient’s selfesteem

The deformity associated with maxillofacial defects causes more of a psychological imbalance than the actual structural and functional loss. Mandible is the only bone that supports the lower face and aids in performing oral functions. Maxillofacial defects that interrupt the continuity of the mandible results in mandibular deviation and rotation which are evident esthetically as well as occlusally. The prime aims of prosthetic rehabilitation are to restore the patient with improved esthetics and acceptable occlusion. These aims   are related to the extent of the mandibular resection, the amount of soft tissue loss, and presence or absence of natural teeth. Mandibular discontinuity defects that are immediately restored with grafts have better prognosis as the continuity of mandible is retained. Maxillofacial prosthesis  that can camouflage these defects to restore the facial symmetry,   normal appearance   and   an acceptable occlusion, can not only boost the patient’s morale and assist in bringing them back to the society but also aid in performing their functions more efficiently . This clinical case report describes the prosthetic rehabilitation with a cast partial denture for a patient who underwent a hemimandibulectomy and reconstruction with bone (rib) graft. Key words: Hemimandibulectomy, Prosthetic rehabilitation, Amoeloblastoma, Cast Partial denture.

Cu-sil dentures are a newer type of transitional denture. Cu-sil is the most straightforward and gentle removable partial denture available. Its a tissue-bearing acrylic denture with a soft elastomeric seal that holds the natural tooths neck in place, keeping food and fluids out while cushioning and splinting each natural tooth from the hard acrylic denture base.Cu-sil dentures are made to preserve the alveolar bone by preserving the remaining natural teeth. This case report demonstrates an alternative method for fabricating Cu-sillike dentures.
