Evaluation of the skeletal and dental effects in orthodontic patients with maxillary lateral incisor agenesis
ConclusionsThe UMLIA and BMLIA groups showed statistically significantly smaller values for maxillary intercanine, maxillary intercanine alveolar and skeletal maxillary widths compared with the control group. Clinical significanceThis study provides information the transverse dimension of the dental, alveolar and skeletal widths with maxillary lateral incisor agenesis patients. Knowledge of transverse dimension of the dental, alveolar and skeletal widths with maxillary lateral incisor agenesis patients is important for diagnosis and treatment planning.

Three ‐dimensional stereophotogrammetric analysis of 50 smiles: A study of dento‐facial proportions
ConclusionThis study revealed that the observed ratios were surprisingly close to the golden ratio. Only the vertical ratio differed from the golden ratio, whereas the horizontal ratios appear to be adequately approximated by φ. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCEIf the distances from reference points of the face to teeth within a harmonious smile exhibited recurring esthetic proportions, knowledge of such ratios would provide an additional tool for the elaboration of esthetic treatment plans. In addition, this knowledge could provide guidance when planning tooth positions and dental proportions by encouraging consideration of the glob...

Does the presence of unilateral maxillary incisor edge asymmetries influence the perception of smile esthetics?
ConclusionsThe presence of maxillary incisor asymmetries is a critical factor influencing the perception of smile esthetics. The most attractive smiles of the men investigated were those without asymmetry and those with 0.5 mm incisor edge asymmetry in the lateral incisor. Clinical significanceThe presence of incisal asymmetries (especially in maxillary central incisors) negatively influences smile esthetics, corroborating the clinical hypothesis that the closer to the facial midline, the greater the need for symmetry.

Digital workflow in full ‐arch implant rehabilitation with segmented minimally veneered monolithic zirconia fixed dental prostheses: 2‐year clinical follow‐up
ConclusionImplant and prosthesis survival rates were 100% after a short‐term follow‐up of 2 years. Technical complications were encountered in one patient. They did not adversely affect prosthesis survival or patient satisfaction and were easily addressed. A digital workflow for the design and fabrication of full‐arch monolithic zirconia implant fixed implant prostheses has benefits, but caution is necessary during CAD planning of the prosthesis to ensure a successful outcome. Long‐term clinical studies are needed to corroborate the findings discussed in this report. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCEThis article presents an in...
