The document presents 10 rules for achieving a perfect smile from an aesthetic perspective. The rules are:
1) The maxillary incisors should follow the curve of the lower lip (smile arc).
2) The maxillary central incisors should have a width-to-height ratio of 75-85% and be symmetrical.
3) The proportions between the anterior teeth should be maintained.
4) There should be no spaces between the anterior teeth.
5) The gingival margins should be level or slightly below.
6) Gingival display when smiling should be less than 3mm.
7) The buccal corridors when smiling should be intermediate

Smile: is the most pleasant and wanted expression by each one of us.
Smile: is amused facial expression with the corner of mouth turned up and exposed front teeth
Facial expression, postures of lips, occlusion and arrangement of teeth, buccal corridor, shape of teeth, gingival color, texture, contour and other several aspects constitute component of smile
Most of patients come to us to improve their smiles, the orthodontic studies stress on skeletal structure than soft tissue structure, and the smile still receives relatively little attention
Nature of smile:
1- Posed smile: voluntary, static, sustained, social smile not elicited by an emotion
2- Un-posed smile: spontaneous, involuntary, dynamic, natural, and not sustained characterized by greater lip elevation
Smile types: smile styles:
1- Commissures smile: the corner of the mouth turned upward called Monalisa smile
2- Cuspid smile: the upper lip is elevated, the entire lip rises like a window shade
3- Complex smile: the upper lip moves superiorly as in cuspid smile and lower lip moves inferiorly
Evaluation of posed smile:
variables Normal smile Not good smile
Smile arc Consonant Non consonant
Smile index Average Increased / decreased
Morley’s ratio 75 – 100% (normal) Disturbed
Buccal corridor Average Obliterated / excessive
Smile line Average High / low
Occlusal plane No canting Canting occlusal plane
Important definitions:
Smile arc:
the curvature formed by an imaginary line tangent to the incisal edges of the teeth, modified in varying degree of curvature in relationship to the lower lip
Range: from no curvature to an accentuated curvature was in relation to the lower lip, so quantification differed for each model
Buccal corridor:
the amount of dark space displayed between the facial surfaces of the posterior teeth and the corner of the mouth, calculated as the total dark space on both sides of the mouth as a percentage of the total smile width
Range: from 6% to 26.5 in approximately 0.5% increments
Maxillary gingival display or gummy smile:
The amount of gingival show above the central incisor crown and below the center of the upper lip. Negative number indicate gingival exposure. Positive number indicate tooth overlap by the lip
Range: from 1mm of gingival display (-1) to almost 7mm of tooth coverage for the female models, and approximately 2mm of gingival display (-2) to 6mm tooth coverage for male models
The variation between the models was due to differences in sizes and coordinating the images for different faces
Maxillary midline to face:
The relationship of maxillary dental midline (measured between the central incisors) to the midline of the face, defined by the center of the philtrum and the facial midline
Range: the maxillary midline was moved to the left of the face in approximately 0.25 mm increments. The right and left buccal corridor was maintained throughout the movement of the dentition. The maximum deviation show is 6mm
Maxillary to mandibular mid

DISSERTATION on NEW DRUG DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT STAGES OF DRUG DISCOVERYNEHA GUPTA
The process of drug discovery and development is a complex and multi-step endeavor aimed at bringing new pharmaceutical drugs to market. It begins with identifying and validating a biological target, such as a protein, gene, or RNA, that is associated with a disease. This step involves understanding the target's role in the disease and confirming that modulating it can have therapeutic effects. The next stage, hit identification, employs high-throughput screening (HTS) and other methods to find compounds that interact with the target. Computational techniques may also be used to identify potential hits from large compound libraries.
Following hit identification, the hits are optimized to improve their efficacy, selectivity, and pharmacokinetic properties, resulting in lead compounds. These leads undergo further refinement to enhance their potency, reduce toxicity, and improve drug-like characteristics, creating drug candidates suitable for preclinical testing. In the preclinical development phase, drug candidates are tested in vitro (in cell cultures) and in vivo (in animal models) to evaluate their safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. Toxicology studies are conducted to assess potential risks.
Before clinical trials can begin, an Investigational New Drug (IND) application must be submitted to regulatory authorities. This application includes data from preclinical studies and plans for clinical trials. Clinical development involves human trials in three phases: Phase I tests the drug's safety and dosage in a small group of healthy volunteers, Phase II assesses the drug's efficacy and side effects in a larger group of patients with the target disease, and Phase III confirms the drug's efficacy and monitors adverse reactions in a large population, often compared to existing treatments.
After successful clinical trials, a New Drug Application (NDA) is submitted to regulatory authorities for approval, including all data from preclinical and clinical studies, as well as proposed labeling and manufacturing information. Regulatory authorities then review the NDA to ensure the drug is safe, effective, and of high quality, potentially requiring additional studies. Finally, after a drug is approved and marketed, it undergoes post-marketing surveillance, which includes continuous monitoring for long-term safety and effectiveness, pharmacovigilance, and reporting of any adverse effects.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Rules of smile
1. Ten Rules For Perfect Smile
The search for improved beauty overwhelmed in modern society. Thus, inspired
by pretty faces and beautiful smiles, patients have sought treatment modalities to
improve dentofacial esthetics and yield positive changes in their smile.
Although concept of smile beauty is very subjective with a view to achieving ideal
aesthetic outcomes, some reference parameters must be followed. From long
times these parameters were based on expert clinicians opinion. But many years
of research presents us concrete guidelines or rules of aesthetic smile. Since
then, several smile variables have been researched.
Although plenty of scientific literatures discussed about smile professionals
usually have a few questions: Where should smile esthetic planning begin? What
are the most relevant aspects considered in esthetic treatment? Which scientific
references should be considered in a given therapeutic approach?
The aim of my presentation is to present a protocol to assess patient's smile
esthetics: "The 10 rules for perfect smile". It particularly aims at simplifying clinical
applicability and interdisciplinary planning of smile treatment.
Dr. Ishfaq Ahmad
Department of Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics, Dhaka Dental College
Introduction
Smile, a person’s ability to express a range of emotions with the structure and
movement of the teeth and lips, can often determine how well a person can function
in society. Of course, the importance given to a beautiful smile is not new. The
search for beauty can be traced to the earliest civilizations; both the Phoenicians
(app 800 BC) and Etruscians (app 900 BC) carefully carved animal tusks to simulate
the shape, form and hue of natural teeth.
Perfect Smile
The widely known popular saying "The smile is our business card" must always be
respected and considered, since there is scientific evidence evincing the smile as the
most important element in the context of dentofacial esthetics.
Whenever patient's smile undergo esthetic changes they become more attractive
and young with positive changes in psychological terms. This explains why patients
seek dental treatment with chief esthetic complaint.
Rule Two — Ratio and symmetry of maxillary central incisorss
Rule One: Smile arc-Maxillary incisors in vertical position
1st rule states the ideal vertical positioning for maxillary incisors at smiling that is
maintaining smile arc. The smile arc is defined as the relationship of the curvature of
the incisal edges of the maxillary incisors and canines to the curvature of the lower lip
in the posed smile. An ideal smile arc has the maxillary incisal edges slightly
contouring the lower lip (Fig 5A). On the other hand, when the incisal contour of teeth
in the esthetic zone does not follow the contour of the lower lip, the smile arc may
straight or inverted.
Figure 1 - Different types of smile arc: A) convex or curved; B) plane or straight; and C)
inverted or reverse.
Rule Four — Presence of anterosuperior spaces
Rule Three — Proportion between anterosuperior teeth
Figure 4 - Clinical case illustrating the importance of proportion between anterosuperior
teeth: A) initial closed-up view in the esthetic zone showing right lateral incisor of
reduced width (blue arrow); B) initial smile; C) final result showing adequate proportion
between teeth in the esthetic zone; D) final smile.
» Too narrow lateral incisors are unesthetic. Ideal proportion and smile with golden ratio (62%)
between teeth in the esthetic zone should be maintained.
» Diastemas in the esthetic zone are unesthetic.
» All diastemas should be closed.
Figure 5 - The impact of midline diastema correction over patient’s smile: A) initial smile;
B) final smile
Rule Five — Gingival Design
• Gingival margin of central incisors must be leveled or slightly bellow (0.5 to 1.0 mm)
canines.
• Gingival margin of lateral incisors must be leveled or slightly bellow (0.5 mm) central
incisors.
Figure 6 - Two different gingival margin designs: A) Classic: leveled canine and central
incisor margins, with lateral incisor margin slightly below; B) Modified: central incisor
margin below canines and lateral incisor margins leveled with central incisors or slightly
below them.
Rule Six — Gingival Exposure
Abstract
Aim at esthetic proportion (75 – 85%) or width/height ratios for maxillary central incisors
and maximal symmetry. Symmetry between incisal edges is the most important aspect.
Figure 2- Different width-height ratio of central incisors: A) ideal ratio, between 75 and
85%; B) long teeth with ratio < 75%; and C) short or squared teeth with ratio > 85%.
Figure 3 - Clinical case illustrating the importance of W/H ratio in smile esthetics: A) initial
closed-up view of maxillary incisors; B) after orthodontic appliance removal; C) final result
» Gingival exposure greater than 3 mm is unesthetic.
Figure 7 - Clinical case illustrating gingival smile treatment: A) initial smile; B) orthodontic
treatment outcome, illustrating ideal incisal design; and C) final smile after treatment with
botulinum toxin to reduce gingival exposure.
Rule Seven- Buccal corridor
» Intermediate buccal corridor is more attractive, whereas wide buccal corridor (narrow
smile arch) is more unesthetic.
Figure 8 - Different types of buccal corridor: A) buccal corridor at smiling; B) wide buccal
corridor; C) intermediate buccal corridor; and D) narrow buccal corridor.
Rule Eight- Midline and tooth angulation
• Midline deviation equal to or greater than 2.0 mm and any degree of changes
in tooth angulation must be corrected.
Figure 9 - Clinical case illustrating the negative impact of changes in incisor angulation
in frontal view: A) initial smile photograph; B) intermediate result after incisal plane and
angulation correction with the aid of mini-implant.
Rule Nine- Tooth color and anatomical shape
The 9th rule basically determines three procedures to aid esthetic refinement: a) Dental
bleaching; b) Adjustment of contacts; c) Reshaping of incisal edges in the esthetic zone.
Figure 10 - Clinical case illustrating the importance of detailing and tooth anatomical
shape: Closed-up view of the esthetic zone showing black triangles caused by
inappropriate contact and final results after teeth reshaping.
Rule Ten- Lip volume
Voluminous lips are the current standard of beauty. So care should be taken when
performing retraction of anterior teeth so as to prevent negative impact over lip volume
References
These 10 rules of smile esthetics may be considered a starting point for clinicians who
aim at achieving maximum esthetic in dental treatment. Special attention should be given
to the first four rules associated with dominance of central incisors at smiling.
Lastly, interdisciplinary treatment, i.e. teamwork, is vital to yield ideal esthetic outcomes.
