RESUMO
This article updates a simple checklist of foundational knowledge in aesthetic dental concepts that allows clinicians to organize their thoughts, to record the concerns of the patient, and to map out those improvements that must be addressed. This adjunct is called a Smile Evaluation Form. Along with other adjuncts such as radiographs, study casts, and diagnostic wax-ups, the Smile Evaluation Form allows clinicians to form a conceptual visualization of the expected end point. It provides a checklist for discussions with other disciplines in the team, to provide a logical sequence of treatment with a mutually agreed-on end point.

This article describes a multidisciplinary approach to a functional and aesthetic rehabilitation. In this case study, we successfully corrected an anterior open bite and an exaggerated curve of Spee using restorative modalities while still maintaining a highly aesthetic outcome. The maxillary anterior teeth no longer appear to have a disproportional width/length ratio and are now in harmony with the mandibular veneers. Posterior function was re-established, mostly with implant-retained crowns. Occlusal harmony and stability are maintained through cuspid guidance and anterior disclusion. Proper selection of final restorative materials is imperative for the long-term survival of the restorations.

This case report points out the previous restorative breakdown of tooth #8. An interdisciplinary approach had to be applied to prepare the final treatment plan. All factors were taken into account when choosing the type of restorations and materials in this case. The ultimate treatment is presented with the final result. The objectives were to clinically assess patient's current chief complaint, address her aesthetic needs, apply an interdisciplinary approach, deliver treatment of utmost quality, and maintain oral health.

Patients are concerned about dental disease and their appearance. Clinicians often must decide not only the type of restoration, but also the type of material for restoration that will provide aesthetics and longevity. A modern practitioner should know the pros and cons of different types of crowns and veneers. They are also responsible to provide treatment for patients with complicated medical histories. Risk assessments include current conditions, risks of recurrence, and suggestions for maintenance of restorations, as well as guidelines to promote the future health and well-being of the patient.

This case report presents an interdisciplinary approach to achieve functioning occlusion and an aesthetically pleasing smile. This patient's concerns were spacing between upper front teeth and a gummy smile. The case was evaluated, and treatment was planned using a multidisciplinary approach. The patient rejected the option of orthognathic surgery to correct a skeletal problem. Treatment included orthodontics, osteoplasty, gingivoplasty, and porcelain veneer restorations to achieve the desired aesthetic result. Comprehensive orthodontics resulted in a functionally stable occlusion. Space distribution between maxillary anterior teeth with adequate overjet and overbite relationships allowed for conservative preparation to receive porcelain veneer restorations.

Even if a clinician possesses basic knowledge in esthetic dentistry and clinical skills, many cases presenting in modern dental practices simply cannot be restored to both the clinician's and the patient's expectations without incorporating the perspectives and assistance of several dental disciplines. Besides listening carefully to chief complaints, clinicians must also be able to evaluate the patient's physical, biologic, and esthetic needs. This article demonstrates the use of a smile evaluation form designed at New York University that assists in developing esthetic treatment plans that might incorporate any and all dental specialties in a simple and organized fashion.

This article discusses failures that could occur if meticulous attention is not given to details such as planning the case, conservative (enamel saving) preparation of teeth, proper selection of ceramics to use, proper selection of the materials and methods of cementation of these restorations, proper finishing and polishing of the restorations, and proper planning for the continuing maintenance of these restorations. Some concerns as to newer products and methods and their effect on the continued success of this modality of treatment are also addressed.
