Esthetic / Cosmetic Dentistry is the art of dentistry in its purest form, provides artistic expression that feeds on creativity and imagination,it represents a new dimension in dental treatments for patient
Patient's appreciate immediate esthetic improvements in teeth, gum, bite and in overall smile appearance.
Teenagers and adults are especially sensitive about unattractive teeth, when teeth are discolored, malformed, crooked or missing, there is often a conscious effort to avoid smiling and patient try to ''cover up'' the teeth
Correction of these types of dental problems can produce dramatic changes in appearance and positive psychologic effects of improving a patients smile often contribute to an improved self–image and confidence, enhanced self–esteem, and social life
Basic artistic elements are considered to produce major results in esthetic, these artistic elements are–shape and form, symmetry and proportionality position and alignment surface texture color translucency
Shape and Form
The shape of the teeth largely determines their esthetic appearance
Variations in shape and contour can shows difference in appearances
Feminine smile–rounded angles with open incisal and facial embrasures
Incisal embrasures with more closed and prominent that is less rounded incisal angles referred as masculine smile
Symmetry and Proportionality
Asymmetric teeth or teeth that are out of proportion like rotations are major consideration to attain optimal esthetics
The quality of proportionality is relative and varies greatly depending on other factors ex: tooth position, tooth alignment, arch form, configuration of the smile
Position and Alignment
The overall harmony and balance of a smile largely depends on proper position of teeth and their alignment in the arch
Malposed / rotated teeth disrupt the arch form and may interfere with the apparent relative proportions of the teeth
Orthodontic treatment is the permanent solution for these defects
Surface texture Character and individuality of teeth are largely determined by the surface texture and characteristics that exist
Young teeth exhibit significant surface characterization and in elders tend to possess a smoother surface texture
Color
Color is undoubtedly the most complex and least understood artistic element
The use of several different shades of restorative material may be required to esthetically restore a tooth
Canines are slightly darker in coloration than are the incisors
Young patients with thick enamel characteristically exhibit lighter teeth
color changes associated with aging also occurs
Translucency
Translucency affects the esthetic quality of the teeth and restoration
Color modifiers-tints can be used to achieve apparent translucency
