smile esthetics Flashcards
Data Collection for smile analysis
- Preclinical interview
- Intra-oral photography
- Diagnostic casts with facebow transfer
- Comprehensive dental exam
*Esthetic analysis
Esthetic Analysis components
- Facial symmetry
- Smile symmetry
- Occlusion
- Tooth shape and color
Facial Symmetry components
Inter-pupillary line
Midline axis
Commissural line
Occlusal plane line
interpupillary line
Midline axis:
Cupid’s Bow and philtrum are used as the anatomic midline for MA in esthetic dentistry
IPL and midline axis
ideally perpendicular, may not be in some cases
Dental Midline:
Refers to?
Ideally, it should be coincident with?
Not noticeable by most people up to?
Max. and Mand. Dental midlines DO NOT coincide in about what % cases?
Canted dental midline?
Refers to the vertical contact interface between two maxillary centrals
Ideally, it should be coincident with facial MA.
Not noticeable by most people up to 4 mm as long as it is parallel to MA
Max. and Mand. Dental midlines DO NOT coincide in about 75% of the cases
Canted dental midline is more esthetically unpleasant and more noticeable than shifted midline
Commissural line
occlusal plane
occlusal plane and commissural line
ideally parallel
asymmetric commisural plane
how can we show lab the IPL
Use of Bite stick and Regisil for anterior
restorations to show lab IPL
Smile symmetry components
Smile line
Buccal corridor
Tooth reveal
Gingival height and position
smile line
Smile line influences the final configuration of:
- The incisal edge position
- Crown form
- Length of the maxillary anterior teeth
