Improvement of orthognathic surgical techniques make it possible to design esthetic surgical correction for total esthetic face. In order to find the esthetic line which guide esthetic surgical correction in patients of orthognathic surgery, cephalometric soft tissue analysis of esthetic faces were performed. In esthetic Korean young adults, 25 males and 25 females who were within 1 S.D. of E-line, ANB, P/A facial height ratio, were analyzed in natural position keeping their face eye level. 1. Sn position is constant in males and females. The Sn-N'-N' Vertical plane angle is $5.3^{\circ}$ in both sexes. Sn is positioned in front of 5 mm in female 7 mm in male from the N' vertical plane. 2. The Sn-Ls line make constant angle to horizontal plane with $72.5^{\circ}$ in both sexes, which is called "upper esthetic line". The Ls-Pg' line makes constant angle to $72.4^{\circ}$ (range $72.2^{\circ}$ in female to $72.6^{\circ}$ in male), which is called "lower esthetic line". 3. When inter-esthetic line angle (the Sn-Ls line to Ls-Pg' line) has $144.9^{\circ}$, lower third face has esthetic upper and lower lip. 4. In treatment planning, Sn is first corrected in proper position, and then upper and lower esthetic line are established with the angle of 144.9. The maxilla is moved to tangent Ls to the upper esthetic line, and mandible is moved to tangent Li and Pg' to the lower esthetic line, according to the "y"-shaped esthetic lines, then lower third face showes esthetics.

Outcome of esthetic ceramic restorations are affected by tooth size, gingival contour, occlusal relationship, etc. For this reason, demand of orthodontic treatment before esthetic ceramic restoration is increasing. If a Bolton ratio discrepancy, a problem of the maxillary incisor's vertical position, a problem of inclination of anterior teeth, a pathogenic occlusion is existed, a pre-prosthodontic orthodontics should be accomplished. These problems can be satisfactory only after the prosthetic treatment is performed after orthodontic treatment. When orthodontic treatment is given, it should be treated with the following principle. 1. Treat it in the direction of functioning occlusion. 2. Keep the patient's stable occlusal scheme. 3. Treat the teeth by considering the average tooth size and Bolton ratio. Ortho-Prostho combined treatment with optimal treatment plan can lead a patient's function, esthetics, and long-term stability.

The purpose of this review was to suggest practical criteria for the clinical translucency evaluation of direct esthetic restorative materials, and to review the translucency with these criteria. For the evaluation of reported translucency values, measuring instrument and method, specimen thickness, background color, and illumination should be scrutinized. Translucency parameter (TP) of 15 to 19 could be regarded as the translucency of 1 mm thick human enamel. Visual perceptibility threshold for translucency difference in contrast ratio (${\Delta}CR$) of 0.07 could be transformed into ${\Delta}TP$ value of 2. Translucency differences between direct and indirect resin composites were perceivable (${\Delta}TP>2$). Universal and corresponding flowable resin composites did not show perceivable translucency differences in most products. Translucency differed significantly by the product within each shade group, and by the shade group within each product. Translucency of human enamel and perceptibility threshold for translucency difference may be used as criteria for the clinical evaluation of translucency of esthetic restorative materials.

Esthetic is one of the prime goal of the orthodontic treatment. It is represented by the word of harmony or balance. There is no absolute esthetic norm but it is important to study about it in orthodontic and orthognatic surgical treatment planning. The purpose of this study is to obtain the norm of Korean female adolescents who were candidates of 1986, 1987 Miss Korea Beauty Contest. The 77 individual samples were selected and studied by cephalometric analysis. Obtained results were as follows: 1 Korean esthetic norm was obtained. 2. Simple correlation coefficient was obtained between each measurements. 3. Holdaway ratio of Korean beauty was 3.3 : 1. 4. To compare with caucasian, profile of Korean beauty had less prominant nose, more prominant lip and deeper sulcus depth.

Background The most common cutaneous malignant masses are basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma. The predominant site of a malignant mass is the face, which has many opportunities to be exposed to ultraviolet radiation. However the predilection sites of malignant masses have been equivocal due to the use of general regions, rather than anatomical landmarks, in surveys. A facial esthetic unit is an anatomical site classified as an area of similar facial contour characteristics that can be distinguished from other areas. The purpose of this study is to determine widely accepted anatomical landmarks using the esthetic unit. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 118 cases of malignant masses in our clinic from January 2005 to October 2012. We evaluated the patients' age, gender, and predilection site of the malignant mass by esthetic unit through pathology, medical records and patient photographs. We mapped the occurrence site of the malignant mass on schematic drawings of the esthetic units. Results Most of the malignant masses were BCC. The ratio of males to females was 1:1.41. The frequent predilection site of a malignant mass was on the nasal unit (33.1%), followed by the buccal unit (11.0%). Primary closure was the most common method of repairing a surgical defect (38.9%), followed by a local flap (35.5%). Conclusions This review described the relationship between clinical characteristics and esthetic units by proposing objective predilection sites for malignant masses, which can be used commonly as a framework in the study of malignant masses by unifying equivocal occurrence sites.

Purpose: This study classified alveolar arch forms and evaluated differences in alveolar bone thickness among arch forms in the anterior esthetic region using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Materials and Methods: Axial views of 113 CBCT images were assessed at the level of 3 mm below the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) of the right and left canines. The root center points of teeth in the anterior esthetic region were used as reference points. Arch forms were classified according to their transverse dimensions and the intercanine width-to-depth ratio. The buccolingual alveolar bone thickness of each tooth was measured at 3 mm below the CEJ and at the mid-root level. Differences in the mean thicknesses among arch forms were analyzed. Results: Anterior maxillary arches could be classified as long narrow, short medium, long medium, and long wide arches. Significant differences in buccolingual alveolar bone thickness among the arch groups were found at both levels. The long wide arches presented the greatest bone thickness, followed by the long medium arches, while the long narrow and short medium arches were the thinnest. Conclusion: Arch forms were classified as long narrow, short medium, long medium, and long wide. The buccolingual alveolar bone thickness exhibited significant differences among the arch forms.

상악 전치부와 같은 심미성이 요구되는 부위의 치료 시에는 건강하고, 주위조직과 조화를 이루며 매력적인 미소선의 형성을 염두에 두어야 한다. 이에 관하여 미소선, 연조직 및 경조직의 형태뿐 아니라 치아의 해부학적 형태와 비율 또한 고려하여야 한다. 상악 측절치의 왜소치(peg lateralis)로 인한 치간이개 및 부적절한 치은 형태로 인해 비심미적인 상악 전치부 비율을 가진 환자에서는 교정치료만으로 심미적 수복이 이루어지기 힘들 수 있다. 이런 경우, 교정치료가 끝난 이후 치아-치은-안면 구도에서의 진단 및 분석을 통한 치은절제술 및 보철적 수복을 통해 치아간의 근/원심, 폭/길이 비율을 개선시켜야 심미적으로 만족할 만한 결과를 얻어낼 수 있다. 또한, 상악 측절치의 왜소치(peg lateralis) 치아 비율 개선을 위한 보철물 제작 시 치질삭제가 적으며 인접치와 유사한 색조가 재현 가능하고 투명도가 높은 도재 라미네이트 비니어(Porcelain laminate veneer, PLV)가 선호되고 있다. 본 증례에서는 두 명의 20세 여자 환자로 교정치료 후 상악 측절치의 왜소치로 인한 치간이개 및 부적절한 치은 형태로 인해 비심미적인 상악 전치부 비율을 가진 환자에서의 체계적인 진단 및 치료과정을 통해 심미성이 개선된 보철 수복 증례를 보고하고자 한다.

Objective: This study aimed to quantitatively assess the relationship of smile esthetic variables with various types of malocclusion, and identify the cephalometric factors affecting smile measurements. Methods: This retrospective study included 106 patients who were treated with retention at the orthodontic department of Taipei Medical University Hospital. Hard-tissue variables were measured using lateral cephalographic tracings, and nine smile esthetic variables were measured using facial photographs. The patients were divided into three groups according to their overjet (< 0, 0-4, and > 4 mm). An analysis of variance was conducted to compare the pretreatment cephalometric variables and smile esthetic variables among the three groups. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to identify the cephalometric factors affecting the smile measurements in each group. Results: Except the upper midline and buccal corridor ratio, all of the smile measurements differed significantly among the three groups before orthodontic treatment. Some of the smile characteristics were correlated with the cephalometric measurements in different types of malocclusion. The overjet was the major factor influencing the smile pattern in all three types of malocclusion. Conclusions: Smile characteristics differ between different types of malocclusion; the smile may be influenced by skeletal pattern, dental procumbency, or facial type. These findings indicate that establishment of an optimal horizontal anterior teeth relationship is the key to improving the smile characteristics in different types of malocclusion.
