Alveolar ridge augmentation and preservation techniques designed to reconstruct deformed alveolar ridge now occupy a major role in esthetic dentistry. Previously, deformed alveolar ridges were filled with plastic materials(porcelain or resin) of prosthesis to restore ridge contours, which resulted in larger teeth and food impaction under the pontic base. So, prostheses of this type were unacceptable and really detectable when patients smiled. But nowadays, alveolar ridge augmentation procedures enable the dentists to provide patients with fixed prostheses that are esthetic. The development of guided tissue regeneration technique and materials also have made a major impact on extending the scope of therapeutic horizons in dentistry.

Recently, esthetic dentistry has been developed because beauty is pursued by both dentists and patients. A scope of esthetic treatment has been expanded and the roles of hygienists in dental treatment have also become of importance. Generally, we make use of the ultra-sonic scaler to remove the stains attached to teeth surfaces, but when we utilize the rubber cup and pumice in prophylaxis, this increases the hypersensitivity, patient's anxiety, and chairtime. So, we substitute Air-polishing that increases patient's satisfaction and decreases chairtime for above method, Here, I would like to explain indications and contraindications, advantages and disadvantages, and usages of Air-polilshing briefly.

현대의 치과 치료에서는 환자들의 심미적 요구도가 점점 높아지고 있다. 그리고, 이러한 심미 치과 영역에서 치은을 비롯한 연조직이 차지하는 비중은 매우 크다고 할 수 있다. 자연치나 임플란트 주위 조직을 분명히 이해하고 적절한 치료를 해줌으로써 환자들의 요구도를 만족시킬 수 있을 것이다. 연조직 부위의 심미를 pink esthetic이라고도 하는데, 이 pink esthetic에서 가장 중요한 영향을 미치는 것이 치은선이라고 할 수 있다. 이 치은선은 순측 치은의 높이, 치간유두의 높이, 그리고 이 둘을 잇는 자연스러운 곡선으로 구성되어 있다. 자연치에서 치은 퇴축이 발생한 경우, 순측 치은의 높이를 비롯한 자연스러운 치은선이 치근쪽으로 이동하게 되고, 더 많은 치아의 치근 부위가 노출되게 되어 비심미적인 모습을 보이게 된다. Root coverage technique(치근피개술)은 자연치의 치은 퇴축(marginal tissue recession)을 치료하기 위해서 오랜 기간동안 사용되어 왔던 술식으로, 치주 성형수술 영역에서는 대표적인 술식중의 하나라고 할 수 있다. 최근에는 임플란트 술식이 매우 보편화되었는데, 그만큼 임플란트의 부작용 또한 급증하고 있다고 할수 있다. 전치부 영역에서 임플란트의 부작용은 자주 심미적인 문제를 동반하게 된다. 기존의 전통적인 root coverage technique은 이러한 치과 임플란트 영역의 심미적 문제의 해결을 위해 많이 사용되고 응용되고 있다. 현재 우리나라의 대다수의 치과에서 임플란트 치료가 시행되고 있는 현실을 생각한다면 그 심미적 부작용의 극복을 위해, root coverage technique을 비롯한 연조직 처치를 숙지하는 것은 매우 유용하다고 할 수 있을 것이다. 이번 글에서는 대표적인 치근 피개술식들을 간단하게 살펴볼 것이며, 더 좋은 심미적 결과를 위한 단계별 고려사항들에 대해서 다뤄보려고 한다.

Recently as the interest on Esthetic Dental Prosthesis is arising, the domains of Esthetic Dentistry is being widely investigated. Esthetic Dental Prosthesis is influenced greatly by the shape, color, tooth arrangement of the teeth and the facial features(including the lips). So the degree to which these characters harmonize will be the professional esthetical standard while the satisfaction of the patient will be another esthetical measure. The reason for this is that each and every one of us has a different standard of what is considered beautiful. Of course it doesn't mean that every standard is correct. Then what does Esthetical Prosthesis mean and what should the standard be? This must be defined as a prosthesis that satisfies the basic requirements - margin, contour, occlusion, and at the same time it should restore the shape, color, and tooth arrangement which the client(patient) would love to have. As Esthetic Prosthesis contains its subjective meaning a great deal, it shouldn't be simply distinguished between the beauty of the teeth itself or ugliness. Also in some case, it needs surgical treatment to make it harmonious in the whole aspect so that one may keep the feeling of satisfaction and security. Then what is the shape, color, tooth arrangement that each individual wants? There is an indefinite variety. For example, considering arrangement both regular and irregular is considered beautiful by each different individual. Regular arrangement may be the standard of beauty for some, while irregular arrangement may be thought of as natural looking and beautiful. That is why there must be enough communication with the patient and an agreement be made at the clinic before a diagnostic plan and actual surgery. The treatment plan as mentioned above must be sent to the dental laboratory. In this research, by using case studies, I am going to the importance and appropriateness of the data and information for the dental technician's esthetic prosthesis.

The Schwachman-Diamond syndrome is an autosomal recessive syndrome(1/20,000 births), consisting of pancreatic insufficiency, neutopenia, which may be intermittent, neutrophil chemotaxis defects, metaphyseal dysostosis, failure to thrive and short stature. Patients present in infancy with poor growth and grease, foul-smelling stools that are characteristic of malabsorption. These children can be readily differentiated from those with cystic fibrosis by their normal sweat chloride levels, lack of the cystic fibrosis gene, and characteristic metaphyseal lesions. Pathologically, the pancreatic acini are replaced by fat with little fibrosis. The neutropenia may be cyclic. Recurrent pyogenic infections otitis media, pneumonia, dermatitis(fig 1), sepsis are common and a frequent cause of death. In dental examination, these patients had a poor oral hygine and moderate generalized marginal gingivitis, also show delayed primary tooth exfoliation and oral development. This report illustrates a case that pancreatic agenesis 6 yeas-old boy with various esthetic dental problems has been served the esthetic dental restoration of 6 years.

The use of fluoride and other preventive methods caused a dramatic decline in dental caries and the need for restorative dentistry. In our modern society that places a high value on appearance, emphasis is now shifting towards esthetic dentistry which has experienced a high popularity with the development of bonding techniques and materials including porcelain and composite. To satisfy patients wanting whiter teeth and a better looking smile, there are many treatment options ranging from full crown coverage to conservative procedures such as bleaching. Whether bleaching should be combined with other esthetic procedures or used alone depends on the type of discoloration and the patient's willingness to accept the various treatment options. Therefore, in order to obtain a successful esthetic outcome, careful diagnosis and treatment planning followed by consultation with the patient is of utmost importance.

Dental clinicians commonly encounter extrusion of the anterior teeth due to localized alveolar bone loss in adult patients with chronic periodontitis. This pathologic migration of the anterior not only may cause loss of functional anterior guidance and continuous periodontal destruction, but also can lead to esthetic disaster. In fact, most frequently reported chief complaint of the patients with extruded anterior teeth is the 'loss of esthetics', not the periodontal problem itself. The utilization of the expertise and skills in the various dental disciplines is thought to be the best treatment modality for the ultimate functional and esthetic attainment. Interdisciplinary therapy, involving periodontics, orthodontics, and restorative dentistry, was performed for the highest levels of patient and provider satisfaction in this case.

A tooth solely can not be an exclusive factor to attain our goal, esthetics. Other consideration, such a proportion of individual tooth, harmonized arrangement of the dentition and surrounding tissues including gingiva, lip and face should be taken into account. Esthetic gingival pattern and incisal level in the anterior area are the very important factors for esthetic restoration of the smile. We often propose adequate periodontal and prosthodontic approaches in order to improve the esthetics of the anterior area. Here, I would like to share some cases which include soft tissue management for ovate pontic placement, osteoplasty, resin filling for severe cervical caries, and bleaching approach to discolored root caused by endodontic treatment, and so on.

To improve esthetics and gain beautiful smile, the maxillary anterior dentition is crucial. Through alteration of height, arrangement or color of the maxillary incisor, we can rehabilitate the esthetic smile. The perception of dental esthetics is highly subjective. Personal perceptions or judgement of dental esthetics is highly related with each individual's experience and social and cultural environment. However, there have been many efforts to establish the criteria for generally accepted esthetic norm, in order to increase the predictability of restorative treatment. For maxillary anterior restoration, not only a single tooth, but also the compositions around tooth such as facial form, lips and gum and their relationships have to be considered to create harmonious smile. It can be determined as esthetic restorations when in consonance with facial form and structures that frame the restorations. In this review article, several guidelines that are generally accepted and useful to assess the esthetics and communicate with patients and technicians will be discussed.
