principles of Cosmetic Dentistry in orthodontics part 3 laser treatments for tooth eruption and soft tissue problems
American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, 2005Co-Authors: David M Sarver, Mark YanoskyAbstract:One of the clinical orthodontist’s biggest occupational stress factors is the constant pressure from patients and their parents to finish treatment. Many predictable factors must work together for treatment to run on schedule, including patient cooperation and timeliness of appointments. But unanticipated impediments, such as tooth eruption problems and certain soft tissue characteristics, can prolong treatment. This purpose of the article, the last in a 3-part series devoted to Cosmetic Dentistry in orthodontics, is to describe how we use a diode soft tissue laser to solve many clinical and Cosmetic problems.

principles of Cosmetic Dentistry in orthodontics part 2 soft tissue laser technology and Cosmetic gingival contouring
American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, 2005Co-Authors: David M Sarver, Mark YanoskyAbstract:Most orthodontists are familiar with the term “laser” but don’t really know much about them or their applications in orthodontic practice. The most frequent applications of lasers in Dentistry include gingivectomy, frenectomy, removal of mucocutaneous lesions, and gingival sculpting associated with implants and mucogingival surgery. Rossman and Cobb summarized the advantages of lasers in soft tissue surgery: (1) the laser cut is more precise than that of a scalpel, (2) the cut is more visible initially because the laser seals off blood vessels and lymphatics, leaving a clear dry field, (3) the laser sterilizes as it cuts, reducing the risk of blood-borne transmission of disease, (4) minimal postoperative pain and swelling have been reported, (5) less postoperative infection has been reported because the wound is sealed with a biological dressing, (6) less wound contraction occurs during mucosal healing, thus scars do not develop, and (7) less damage occurs to adjacent tissues. These qualities result in a shorter operative time and faster postoperative recuperation. Our interest in soft tissue lasers came through our increasing application of principles of Cosmetic Dentistry, which allow us to finish the esthetics of the smile to a much finer degree. These principles were covered in Part 1 of this 3-part series.

principles of Cosmetic Dentistry in orthodontics part 1 shape and proportionality of anterior teeth
American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, 2004Co-Authors: David M SarverAbstract:In the past decade, there has been a remarkable upswing in interdisciplinary collaboration between dentists, orthodontists, and periodontists in smile enhancement, and now an entire field of “Cosmetic periodontics” has evolved in collaboration with Cosmetic Dentistry. Contemporary orthodontic smile analysis is generally defined in terms of (1) vertical placement of the anterior teeth to the upper lip at rest and on smile (adequate incisor display but not too gummy), (2) transverse smile dimension (buccal corridors), (3) smile arc characteristics, and (4) the vertical relationship of gingival margins to each other. Through the interaction with these other disciplines and the knowledge gained, we have expanded our diagnosis of the smile to further refine the finishing of anterior esthetics for our patients. As our interaction with Cosmetic Dentistry has increased, we have become very aware of what standards guide the dentist who strives for an excellent smile. Through Cosmetic bonding and laminate veneers, the dentist can control tooth shape by adding or taking away from the tooth, crown, or laminate. As orthodontists, we have generally limited our toothreshaping efforts to incisal edge “dressing.” The purpose of this article is to examine some Cosmetic ideas and present new ways in which we can improve the smiles of our patients. In Part 1, I will define and illustrate how these principles are applied to improve the Cosmetics of orthodontic patients. In Part 2, my coauthor and I will review the new laser technology available for reshaping soft tissues, and, in Part 3, we will discuss the clinical use of those lasers.

Risk management in clinical practice. Part 5. Ethical considerations for dental enhancement procedures
British dental journal, 2010Co-Authors: I. AhmadAbstract:After the demise of the Industrial Age, we currently live in an 'Information Age' fuelled mainly by the Internet, with an ever-increasing medically and dentally literate population. The media has played its role by reporting scientific advances, as well as securitising medical and dental practices. Reality television such as 'Extreme makeovers' has also raised public awareness of body enhancements, with a greater number of people seeking such procedures. To satiate this growing demand, the dental industry has flourished by introducing novel Cosmetic products such as bleaching kits, tooth coloured filling materials and a variety of dental ceramics. In addition, one only has to browse through a dental journal to notice innumerable courses and lectures on techniques for providing Cosmetic Dentistry. The incessant public interest, combined with unrelenting marketing by companies is gradually shifting the balance of dental care from a healing to an enhancement profession. The purpose of this article is to endeavour to answer questions such as, What is aesthetic or Cosmetic Dentistry? Why do patients seek Cosmetic Dentistry? Are enhancement procedures a part of dental practice? What, if any, ethical guidelines and constraints apply to elective enhancement procedures? What is the role of the dentist in providing or encouraging this type of 'therapy'? What treatment modalities are available for aesthetic dental treatment?

Are enhancement procedures a part of dental practice? What, if any, ethical guidelines and constraints apply to elective enhancement procedures? What is the role of the dentist in providing or encouraging this type of 'therapy'? What treatment modalities are available for aesthetic dental treatment? It is important to establish what is motivating the patient to seek treatment. There may be tangible or intangible reasons and the clinician needs to be clear what health gain is to be achieved. The challenge revolves around balancing the autonomy of the patient's desire for Cosmetic treatment with the downsides of intervention. Consent is integral to ensure mutually satisfying treatment is provided.
