Dental Esthetics Flashcards
The first choice in treating dntal esthetics
ORtho
Problem with ORtho
Expenisve and time
what should you do to check esthetics
Check with removabl and undoable cuz you don’t want to make esthetics worse
Hierarchy of Facial Esthetics
Macro
Mini
Micro
The face in all 3 planes of space of macro estehtics
Asymmetry
Excessive or deficient face height
Mandibular deficiency or excess, etc.
Macro esthetics deal with
the face in all 3 planes of space
how are Macro esthetics fixed
by surgery
Mini-esthetics:
The smile framework bordered by the lips on smile animation:
Problems with mini-esthetics
Excessive or inadequate gingival display
Inappropriate gingival heights
Excessive buccal corridors
What is important for Micro esthetics
the teeth:
Proportions
Black triangle, Gingival shape/contour
Shade
Width relation of central incisor to lateral and lateral to canine
66%
84%
Using the golden ratio for teeth
Too strong for dental use
what is recommended for setting teeth
Repeated ratio, with a simplified approach to asthetics
what is the golden proportion
A line (AB) is divided with a point (C) such that the ratio of the large part (AC) to the small part (CB) is the same as the ratio of the whole (AB) as to the large Part (AC)
AC/CB=AB/AC
what is the golden ratio
about 62%
using the golden proportion to compare width to length
Way to wide
what is best ratio to use for length to width ratio if teeth are very short
about 80%
what is the best ratio to use for length to width for very tall teeth
Golden proportion
what is the worst proportion for teeth for normal and short teeth
golden proportion
what is the worst proportion for very tall teeth
80%
what is the worst type of embrassure
None
what is the best type of embrassure
Slightly reduced
what is the best angulation of the central incisors
about 3 degrees distal
what is the worst angulation of the central incisors
6 degrees mesial
