Understanding the problem of upper arches rehabilitation with implants in relation to the complain of lack of lip support, this study was designed to assess the potential of hyaluronic acid (HA) to increase lips volume and to fill the nasogenian groove in this group of patients. One hundred patients with rehabilitated maxilla with implant-supported hybrid fixed total prosthesis were selected. Of these, 86 attended the initial consultation and eight individuals were included in the study. The sample inclusion criteria were use of implant-supported fixed prosthesis in the maxilla with complaint of thin lips and deepening of the nasogenian groove and patients who agreed to participate of the study. Linear and angular measurements were drawn on initial an after procedure teleradiographies in order to assess lip protrusion before and after hyaluronic acid filling. Also standardized photographs were taken before and after the procedures, which were assessed by dentists and lay people. The participants of the study answered a questionnaire in order to assess the degree of satisfaction with the procedure. Hyaluronic acid filling presented significant differences (t1-t2) for upper and lower lip protrusion p= 0.001 and p=0.02, respectively. For the upper lip, the mean protrusion was 0.76mm + 1.88 (t1) before the filling with hyaluronic acid procedure and after filling the mean protrusion was 3.45mm + 1.58 (t2). Independent evaluators and practitioners assessed the facial profiles after the filling with HA, mostly as medium and significant better alterations. It can be concluded that lip and nasogenian sulcus filling in individuals rehabilitated with implant-supported total fixed implants increased self-esteem and provided close to normal lip protrusion.

It is a great challenge to establish aesthetic excellence creating harmony between beauty and the function of the smile with the delicacy and complexity of the lips and components of the face. The use of soft tissue fillers with hyaluronic acid is a worldwide popular and minimally invasive procedure based on numerous studies. Due to its relative simplicity and favorable security profile, it is becoming easy to accept. The present case report aims to describe the lip filling technique, using a total volume of 1 ml of hyaluronic acid, to improve the patient’s aesthetic dissatisfaction. The result was satisfactory, with minimal side effects and optimizing the patient’s self-esteem.

This paper aimed to address smile rehabilitation, returning aesthetics and function using dental contact lenses with conservative preparations. Sometimes the use of contact lenses, despite completely improving teeth aesthetics, is unable to solve all the aesthetic needs for complete oral harmonization, for example, the black spaces that impair smile aesthetics. In this paper we will show how it is possible to correct interdental papillae using hyaluronic acid, complementing the aesthetic gain, raising self-esteem and bringing the perfect smile desired by the patients.

Purpose Nationwide, upward trends exist in student issues with anxiety, stress, depression, and lowered classroom performance. As emotional awareness and emotional regulation skills are typically not addressed in professional discipline-specific courses, students experience challenges in their academic performance. This pilot research explored the effect of brief targeted classroom practices within an empowerment-based framework on domains of emotional intelligence. Method Twenty-two students in an undergraduate speech-language pathology class received a 13-week, biweekly, 15-min session of empowerment-based worksheet exercises to develop increased self-esteem, emotional awareness and regulation, and communication. Assessments of self-esteem, emotional intelligence, communication competence, and communication apprehension were conducted using validated scales, namely, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale ( Rosenberg, 1965 ), the Quick Emotional Intelligence Self-Assessment ( Mohapel, 2015 ), the Self-Perceived Communication Competence Scale ( McCroskey & McCroskey, 2013 ), and the Personal Report of Communication Apprehension ( McCroskey, 1982 ), respectively. Midsemester and semester-end student reflections were collected. Results Paired t tests were significant in self-esteem and emotional quotient, including subdomains of emotional awareness, emotional management, social emotional awareness, and relational management. Significance was noted in communication competence in the subdomains of dyad interaction, stranger interaction, and acquaintance. Students' reflection showed significant improvement in empowerment and self-rated improvements in confidence, communication, connections with peers, and trust with instructor. Conclusion Preliminary evidence demonstrates positive outcomes with integration of intentional classroom exercises to build emotional intelligence (including emotional awareness and regulation), self-esteem, and communication. This empowerment model may assist faculty in developing effective pedagogical strategies to build students' self-resiliency.

Abstract Audiologists have a responsibility to counsel patients with auditory concerns on methods to manage the inherent challenges associated with hearing loss at every point in the process: evaluation, hearing aid fitting, and follow-up visits. Adolescents with hearing loss struggle with the typical developmental challenges along with communicative challenges that can erode one's self-esteem and self-worth. The feeling of “not being connected” to peers can result in feelings of isolation and depression. This article advocates the use of a Narrative Therapy approach to counseling adolescents with hearing loss. Adolescents with hearing loss often have problem-saturated narratives regarding various components of their daily life, friendships, amplification, academics, etc. Audiologists can work with adolescents with hearing loss to deconstruct the problem-saturated narratives and rebuild the narratives into a more empowering message. As the adolescent retells their positive narrative, they are likely to experience increased self-esteem and self-worth.
