Objectives : It examines influence of satisfaction with dental esthetics upon quality of life related to oral health after examining the satisfaction with dental esthetics and the quality of life related to oral health according to subjective perception. Methods : The subjects who have experience of dental esthetics from June 2010 to August 2010 in 50 places of hospitals and clinics with dental esthetics in Seoul, which were selected with convenience sampling, the structured questionnaire was widely distributed to 315 people who agreed to research. After making the subjects respond with self-reported method, data was collected. 298 copies except 17 copies were used in the final analysis. Results : The better in the perceived general health group led to the higher satisfaction with orthodontic treatment(p=0.001). There was significant difference even in satisfaction with dental bleaching(p=0.030). The better in the perceived general health group led to the higher quality of life related to oral health(p=0.002). The subjective perception was indicated to have relationship with satisfaction at dental esthetics or quality of life related to oral health. The satisfaction with orthodontic treatment(${\beta}$=2.142, p=0.038) was indicated to be relevant factor of having influence upon quality of life related to oral health. Conclusion : As a result of analyzing partial correlation analysis by having subjective perception as control variable, the satisfaction with orthodontic treatment and the life quality related to oral health showed positive correlation.

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.

Periodontal disease, trauma, deformity of tooth can jeopardize the esthetics of oral and maxillo-facial region. Moreover, increasing the demand and concern about the esthetics, clinicians should place high value on esthetics during periodontal treatment. Analysis of various anatomical considerations; lip line, shape and location of marginal gingiva, and biologic width; and diagnosis should be performed prior to periodontal plastic surgery.

Esthetic aspect is one of the most important factors in clinical dentistry. Esthetics of dental restorative materials consist of translucency, surface texture, and most importantly 'colour'. Main characteristics of optical properties and its clinical representation and general outlook as to the current information on colour and its representation has been considered in this study. Characteristics of esthetic materials are concerned with the field of science and dental professionals should take into consideration the importance, characteristics, and applications to actual clinical settings of esthetic restorative materials. Relevant information regarding natural teeth and esthetic restorative materials and training will lead to the heightened ability of dental professionals.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluated the process of model analysis, design, and production for a full mouth prosthetic rehabilitation of function, esthetics, and pronunciation. Methods: This is a case report of class III malocclusion with a severe anterior incisor occlusion and a prosthetic treatment of patient with poor occlusion of posterior teeth. A provisional restoration based on the diagnostic wax-up was applied to the patient. And then functions, esthetics, and occlusal stability were observed during 4 week tracking period. Final restorations were delivered and evaluated based on a systematic analysis, diagnosis and treatment plan. Results: We confirms that this case study obtained the satisfactory results in terms of functions and esthetics. Conclusion : If we can give the patient the continuous evaluation and progress monitoring, we expect the dentist and the dental technician to design the prosthesis successfully.

Generally, the esthetics is thought to mean health. On the assumption that dental esthetics must also be in harmony with general health, dental restorations have to be made in order for patients to appear to be healthy and vivacious in their mouth and result in good appearances. Therefore, I wish that patients live their life without a sense of disharmony in esthetic and biological aspect. This article is to explain some cases that manifest improvement of quality in dental treatment by means of team approach.

Facial esthetics and smiling are key components in nonverbal communication and have an important role in determination of the first impression of a person. The various components of the smile in dental esthetics include Gingival scaffold, lip framework, and Teeth. The periodontist creates a smile by performing various periodontal plastic microsurgery procedures for management of mucogingival problems. A 25-year-old patient reported to the Department of Periodontology at Teerthanker Mahaveer Dental College and Research Center, Moradabad, Northern India, with the chief complaint of long looking teeth in the upper jaw, making him conscious while smiling. Miller class I gingival recession with Maxillary left canine (23) was diagnosed. Periodontal plastic microsurgery employing double papilla grafting with connective tissue graft harvested from the palate in order to cover denuded root was performed using microsurgical instruments and microsuturing with 6-0 suturing material under magnification. Healing was uneventful, with achievement of 100% root coverage of denuded root after three months. The patient was highly impressed and satisfied with his enhanced smile.

상악 전치부 임플란트의 성공적인 수복을 위해서는 pink esthetics와 white esthetics가 모두 충족되어야 한다. Pink esthetics 부분의 경우 적절한 임시보철물의 역할이 중요하고, white esthetics 부분의 경우에는 최종 보철물의 색상과 형태가 중요하다. 다층 지르코니아는 기존의 단일구조 지르코니아에 비해 절단 부위의 투명도가 높기 때문에 추가적인 도재 축성 없이 자연스러운 보철물 제작이 가능하다. 따라서 본 증례에서는 상악 전치를 상실한 환자에서 적절한 임시보철물을 통해 기능과 심미성을 충분히 회복한 후 다층 지르코니아를 통해 white esthetics를 달성하였다.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Interpoximal papilla could be re-established without immeidate support with a provisional resotration following an immdiate implant placement. PURPOSE: Successful esthetic outcomes were reported utilizing immediate provisionalization following immediate implant placements. The aim of this study was to evaluate the soft tissue esthetics around immediately placed single tooth implant restorations with or without immediate provisional restorations. METHODS: A total of ten patients, who had a hopeless maxillary anterior tooth, were enrolled in this study. Screw retained provisional restorations were delivered to the randomly chosen 5 patients (immediate provisionalization group) on the day of immediate implant placement and maintained for about 5 months. For the remaining five patients (non-immediate provisionalization group), healing abutments were delivered on the day of surgery, replaced with screw retained provisional restorations approximately 3 months afterwards, and the provisional restorations were maintained for about 3 months. Digital photographs were taken at the delivery of final restorations in order to assess following variables; mesial papilla, distal papilla, soft tissue level, soft tissue contour and facial soft tissue prominence. The variables were compared to those of the contralateral natural tooth and scored by prosthodontists, periodontists, orthodontists and dental students. RESULTS: The immediate provisionalization group marked significantly higher scores on the following variables; soft tissue level and facial soft tissue prominence. In evaluating each variable, there were no notable differences in opinion between four dentist groups. CONCLUSION: Immediate provisionalization can be a treatment option to achieve superior soft tissue esthetics around immediately placed single implant restorations rather than non-immediate provisionalization approaches.
