A tooth solely can not be an exclusive factor to attain our goal, esthetics. Other considerations, such as proportion of individual tooth, harmonized arrangement´, of the dentition and surrounding tissues including gingiva, lips and face should be taken into account. Esthetic gingival pattern and incisal level in the anterior area are the very important factors for esthetic restoration of the smile. We often propose adequate periodontal and prosthodontic approaches in order to improve the esthetics of the anterior area.
Here, I would like to share some cases which include soft tissue management for ovate pontic placement, osteoplasty, resin filling for severe cervical caries, and bleaching approach to discolored root caused by endodontic treatment, and so on.
