Introduction: Due to the fundamental role of esthetics in the outcomes of dental treatments, especially in the anterior region (esthetic zone), the necessity of considering the matter of esthetics in clinical studies has become into focus in the current era. The aim of this study was the evaluation of esthetic outcomes of two treatment protocols in the treatment of congenital uni-lateral missing of maxillary lateral incisors as well as patient satisfaction from the treatment outcomes. Methods: in this study the sample size was 24 people (16 women and 8 men), These individuals sought dental treatment for replacement of the congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisor. Convenience sampling method was used and patients were divided into two groups regarding the kind of treatment they received. The two treatment protocols included: 1. Space closure by means of orthodontic treatment and then reshaping the canines; and 2. Space regaining by means of orthodontic treatment and replacing the lateral incisor with dental implants. Photographs of patients were acquired from the frontal view with retraction of the lips using digital cameras. Photographs were evaluated for Pink esthetic score. Results: No significant difference was detected between the two study groups in the evaluated factors in this study. Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that there is no significant difference in esthetic results in the two groups. Furthermore, both groups lead to similar results in patient satisfaction from treatment outcomes.

At the Forsyth Dental Infirmary, Boston, the orthodontist, pediatrician, nutritionist and child psychiatrist collaborate to promote a more comprehensive approach to the patient with malocclusion of the teeth. Each discipline contributes a special facet to the total clinical assessment of the child. The diagnostic conference serves as an important educational experience in the program of the postgraduate fellows in orthodontics. The active participation of the orthodontist in this approach broadens his view of orthodontics as a health service and makes it possible for him to follow the same methods and procedures in his own practice. He is in a better position to determine when to consult medical specialists and to solicit their collaboration. In turn, the pediatrician learns to recognize the handicaps that dental and facial deformities can exert on the physical and psychologic well-being of his patients. He becomes aware of the significance of the different varieties of malocclusion and of the proper timing for orthodontic treatment.

AbstractMost prescribing indications in homœopathy are derived from clinical experience. There is a need to revise and update them. A new method known as systematic outcome correlation, which correlates outcome as measured by a standard clinical assessment, with prescription, is described. The method uses information technology and the Read clinical classification. Preliminary results in rheumatoid arthritis are presented. The method and results are critically examined with recommendations for future developments.
