Introduction: Today, the appreciation of aesthetic dentistry by society brought to the search for materials and techniques that improve the appearance of smile, which is essential in maintaining physical and mental health of the patient. Objective: This study aimed to report a case of gummy smile involving Periodontics and Restorative Dentistry. Case report: This case, despite other possible alternatives, was solved through periodontal surgery (clinical crown augmentation associated with osteotomy) and indirect restorations with porcelain crowns. Conclusion: In our experience this procedure is safe, predictable, with minimal risks or side effects, and it is a treatment option for these cases.

Liver Damage after Breast Plastic Surgery - Clinical Case Report Since silicone implants were introduced in the early 1960s, those have been widely used for cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery. Although a recent review has shown no relationship between the silicone breast implant and systemic complications, leakage of the silicone into the tissues and migration to the regional lymph nodes remains a clinical problem. This was the first case in our practice when possibly breast implant material was found in the liver tissue.

Ankyloglossia is an anatomical variation that has been associated with a variety of problems such as: suckling, swallowing and speaking. In this perspective, frenotomy is a surgical procedure commonly performed on babies to correct ankyloglossia. In this sense, the objective of this work is to report a clinical case of ankyloglossia in which the frenotomy procedure was performed on twin newborns, who had difficulty breastfeeding, carried out in the Extension Project “Língua Solta”, from the Federal University of Pernambuco. The evaluation of the lingual frenulum followed the protocol recommended by Martinelli, 2013. After application of the protocol, newborns showed the need to perform frenotomies. The surgeries were performed and, after 7 days, the babies showed significant improvement in breastfeeding. The diagnosis made, through the protocol and experienced professionals, is of fundamental importance for the success of the surgery. In addition, early intervention contributes to improved breastfeeding and development of the newborn.

The aesthetic function of Dentistry has been increasingly requested by patients who are looking for a harmonious smile. High expectations and demands require the professional to be current and master the techniques available to achieve success in the procedures performed. The use of ceramic laminates has increased exponentially because it is a conservative technique with enamel biomimicry. Moreover, it is a technique already consolidated in the literature and whose results provide a high degree of satisfaction to patients. Thus, this case report aims to describe the clinical sequence of clinical crown augmentation in teeth 15 to 25 associated with lithium disilicate ceramic laminates for diastema closure, allowing similarity to the natural characteristics of the teeth. The results of the procedures depend directly on proper planning and execution, and knowledge of the operative technique, restorative materials and quality of prosthetic work are essential to ensure work excellence and patient satisfaction. At the end, the patient had her complaint resolved by a conservative technique and consolidated by the literature promoting health, satisfaction, and self-esteem.

Crown lengthening is a procedure widely used in periodontal practice, for esthetic procedures and also for pre-prosthetic ones; situation that is present with great frequency in the daily practice in periodontics. It is very important the knowledge of the anatomic structures of the periodontal anatomy in order to do a proper surgical procedure, preceded by a deep clinical and radiological exam and a pertinent treatment prosthetic plan. It is also important that the clinician knows all the surgical techniques, because not all the procedures need the same approach and there are certain anatomic and surgical characteristics that must be taken in concern at the moment of planning a surgical crown lengthening. In this article we present a clinical case where it is integrated the periodontal and prosthetic discipline.

Mini screws represent a new treatment modality in orthodontic biomechanics. They provide absolute anchorage, no secondary movements and reduced orthodontic treatment time. Futhermore, the surgical procedure for mini implants placement is quite simple and this type of treatment requires no patient compliance. We selected a clinical case in order to emphasize one of the most important indications of the mini implants: retrusion of the upper incisors for a incresed overjet case in a young patient. Two mini implants were placed in order to obtain the correction of the overjet and the retrusion of the anterior teeth. The retrusion was obtained in a reduced period of time using retraction devices on crimpable hooks.
