- Anterior teeth are primarily selected based on esthetic requirements while posterior teeth are selected based on masticatory function and occlusion.
- Factors to consider in anterior tooth selection include morphology, size, color, placement based on anatomical landmarks and guides.
- Careful evaluation of the patient's existing dentition, facial characteristics, and preferences are important in selecting the right anterior teeth.
The document discusses orthodontic diagnosis through clinical examination of skeletal, soft tissue, and dental factors contributing to malocclusion. It describes evaluating the anteroposterior, vertical, and transverse relationships of the jaws through facial analysis, palpation, and cephalometric radiography. Ideal facial proportions and characteristics of the lips, nose, and chin are also outlined.

This document provides an overview of functional appliances used in orthodontic treatment. It begins with definitions of functional appliances and a brief history of their development. It then discusses the basis, classification, forces, treatment principles, indications, actions, case selection, and common appliances like the activator, frankel regulator, bionator, twin block, and Herbst appliance. It provides details on their design, indications, mode of action, and advantages. In summary, the document serves as a comprehensive guide to functional appliances, their development and use in orthodontic treatment.
This document provides an overview of dental bleaching (tooth whitening). It discusses the various causes of tooth discoloration and the mechanisms by which bleaching works to lighten teeth. The main types of bleaching are described as non-vital bleaching for discolored non-living teeth and vital bleaching for living teeth, which can be done at home or in-office with light acceleration. Safety concerns are noted along with the need for more long-term studies. Natural bleaching methods using ingredients like strawberries, baking soda, and other fruits are mentioned but caution is advised about enamel damage if overused.
The document discusses the causes and management of tooth discoloration, noting that it can be either extrinsic from external stains or intrinsic due to changes in the tooth structure, and treatments include removing surface stains, bleaching techniques, and restorative options like veneers or crowns to mask discoloration. Non-vital bleaching involves removing filling material and gutta percha, sealing off the root canal with GIC, and placing carbamide peroxide gel inside the tooth.
This document discusses dental discoloration, its causes, and bleaching treatments. It covers extrinsic and intrinsic causes of staining and describes different types and degrees of tetracycline and fluorosis staining. Bleaching mechanisms and materials including hydrogen peroxide, sodium perborate, and carbamide peroxide are explained. Intracoronal and extracoronal bleaching techniques and their potential adverse effects are summarized.
The document discusses vital tooth bleaching. It begins by outlining the indications for bleaching, such as moderate tooth discolouration from fluorosis or aging. Contraindications include severe stains, hypersensitivity, or active caries.
At-home bleaching involves custom-fitted trays containing 10% carbamide peroxide, which breaks down to release hydrogen peroxide. The process involves taking impressions to fabricate trays that deliver the bleaching agent to the teeth overnight. Factors like concentration, temperature, pH, and time influence the bleaching effect.
