Esthetic Considerations: Patient Demands

 

Esthetics has become an important issue in modern society, as it seems to define one’s character. In the past, functional demands were the main consideration in dental treatment. Today, the focus has shifted toward dental esthetics. Clinicians should begin a treatment plan with well-defined esthetic objectives, and they then should consider the impact of the planned treatment on function, structure and biology.

 

Patients’ demands and satisfaction with a restoration are important factors to consider, although the opinion of the patient may differ from that of the practitioner. Can we compromise?

Perforations: The Endodontic Dilemma

 

Perforations can be defined as mechanical or pathologic communications between the root canal system and the external tooth surface. Prognosis of these defects is affected by multiple factors including position and size of the perforation, material used for repair and time lapsed till the repair. This lecture will review available evidence based literature. Several clinical cases will be presented and treatment protocols will be illustrated with long follow up. In conclusion, participants should be able to:

	List the different types of tooth perforations: causes, prevention and prognosis
	Discuss the different techniques and materials used to repair these defects
	Evaluate the contemporary evidence based research about perforation
