Objective: to emphasize the importance of Pediatric Dentistry in the dental treatment planning as a first step of rehabilitation in a pediatric patient diagnosed with Cleidocranial Dysplasia (CCD). Case Report: this study presents the case of a ten years old girl, with CCD diagnosis, which attended the Sector of Pediatric Dentistry of São Leopoldo Mandic School of Dentistry - Campinas / São Paulo sent by orthopedist, your main complaint was the delay on superior anterior teeth irruption. Needs preventive, curative, rehabilitative, orthodontic and surgical dental treatment. After an interdisciplinary planning, a treatment proposal was nominated and accepted by responsibles’ patient.

Introduction. Restorative dental treatment of patients with a generalized form of amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) remains a challenge even today. The treatment approach is multidisciplinary and includes action of several dental disciplines such as restorative, orthodontic, and prosthetic dental specialties. Case report. A 18-year-old female patent was referred to the Department of Restorative Dentistry and Periodontology at the Military Medical Academy of Belgrade, Serbia. She was diagnosed with AI and formerly had been treated for a long period of time at the Department of Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics. Her primary concern upon arrival was discomfort and concern for the esthetic appearance of the anterior teeth. The treatment was done with the modified clear matrix technique used in composite veneer restoration of teeth in the esthetic zone. Conclusion. Because fixed prosthetic restoration with crowns, is the final treatment of AI patients it involves severe tooth structure loss. The clear matrix method which was done in this case allowed for greater comfort, functionality, simplicity, speed, greater economic efficiency and tooth structure preservation.

The aim of this case report is to present two cases where cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used for the diagnosis, treatment planning, and followup of large periapical lesions in relation to maxillary anterior teeth treated by endodontic surgery. Periapical disease may be detected sooner using CBCT, and their true size, extent, nature, and position can be assessed. It allows clinician to select the most relevant views of the area of interest resulting in improved detection of periapical lesions. CBCT scan may provide a better, more accurate, and faster method to differentially diagnose a solid (granuloma) from a fluid-filled lesion or cavity (cyst). In the present case report, endodontic treatment was performed for both the cases followed by endodontic surgery. Biopsy was done to establish the confirmatory histopathological diagnosis of the periapical lesions. Long-term assessment of the periapical healing following surgery was done in all the three dimensions using CBCT and was found to be more accurate than IOPA radiography. It was concluded that CBCT was a useful modality in making the diagnosis and treatment plan and assessing the outcome of endodontic surgery for large periapical lesions.

People have become increasingly concerned about esthetics as a perfect smile gives patients more confidence and make them feel comfortable in social circumstances. Esthetic dental treatment plays an important role in improving personal appearance. Advances in dental materials have led to innovations in porcelain laminate veneers and bonding materials which has improved the overall quality of the esthetic restorations. This case report describes the rehabilitation of a patient with spacing in mandibularanterior teeth, who was concerned with his facial appearance, with ceramic laminate veneers.

Crown fracture of maxillary anterior teeth is frequent dental injuries for which patients seek immediate dental treatment. Immediate reattachment of the intact fractured tooth segment is a therapeutic choice in such cases. This case report presents one of the best methods used for reattachment, which is an ultraconservative technique. It allows the restoration of original tooth contour, colour and aesthetics. Key words: Crown Fracture, Aesthetics, Dual cure resins doi: 10.3126/kumj.v6i3.1718 Kathmandu University Medical Journal (2008), Vol. 6, No. 3, Issue 23, 386-388

AbstractSkeletal   malocclusion affects dental and facial tissues. A complicating factor for diagnosis  and treatment of skeletal class III malocclusion is its multifactorial etiology. Genetics play an important role in determining the facial morphology of an individual. Prediction of a skeletal class III based on  morphology can play an  important step in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. This case report further supports the significant role of genetics in skeletal class III malocclusion. As seen in our case the skeletal class III if left untreated does not detiorate  but rather shows a decrease in ANB ie  anterioposterior  discrepancy. Hence the need for treatment should be analysed thoroughly in skeletal class III patients.

Background: Erbium chromium or erbium lasers constitute preferred instruments for the preparation of that section of tooth adjacent to the pulp chamber rather than high-speed drills, especially in cases of dental injury. Their advantages can support modified operations in achieving optimum recovery and avoiding complications related to the healing process. Purpose: The aim of the study was to describe another modality of the assistance of erbium, chromium:yattrium-scandium-gallium-garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser in traumarelated pulp injury affecting the anterior teeth. Case(s): The results of laser treatment applied to four pulp injuries of three children were analyzed in this case report. Case Management: Er,Cr:YSGG laser-assisted cavity preparation was performed without resort to a local anesthetic, the cavities being sealed with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). None of the cases demonstrated symptomatic or peri-radicular pathology during clinical or radiographic examinations. Conclusion: The results contained in this case report support the application in pediatric dentistry of a Er,Cr:YSGG laser to pulpotomy cavities as part of the treatment of traumatic pulpal injuries to permanent incisors.

The loss of anterior teeth leads to extreme psychological trauma, along with functional and esthetic debilitations. Healthy anterior teeth play an important role of protecting the posterior teeth during excursive mandibular movement. Loss of anterior teeth induces posterior interference with extended disocclusion time. Posterior disocclusion is critical to remove the harmful force on the teeth temporomandibular joint and eliminate muscle hypertonicity. Occlusal interference is considered as contributing factor to temporomandibular disorder (TMD) symptoms. Prosthesis design should eliminate deleterious tooth contacts. Establishing optimum anterior guidance is a key to establishing harmonious functional occlusion in addition to the correction of the esthetic and phonetic disabilities. This case report explains the steps involved in the rehabilitation of the TMD patient with loss of maxillary anterior teeth.
