Dear Reader,
_Modern science and technology are making tremendous advances and changes in all
aspects of dentistry. The rapid integration of technology has dramatically improved the way
we collect and acquire information, and has greatly facilitated successful diagnosis and
treatment planning.
Since beauty is subjective, successful cosmetic dentistry requires skills beyond the ability
to diagnose and treat functional or pathological irregularities. Besides entailing attention to
function and pathology, cosmetic treatment requires mastery of the art of understanding
different types of personalities with different expectations for treatment. Proper communication appropriate to each type will not only enhance the doctor–patient relationship, but
also provide greater acceptance of treatment planning.

Dr So Ran Kwon
Co-Editor-in-Chief

According to Chu and colleagues, patient expectations fall into three categories: Hollywood, “Alfred E. Neuman” and the naturalist. The first type desires very white and straight
restorations, and is generally very concerned and vocal. The second type tends to rely on the
clinician’s expertise and follow his or her recommendations. The naturalist is often the most
difficult to treat because of the expectation that all the restorations should look natural and
blend in perfectly with rest of the dentition.
In this issue of cosmetic dentistry, we have included beautifully illustrated and documented articles that provide the solutions to improving aesthetics in CAD/CAM dentistry and
present the concept of bio-aesthetics, giving a new face to smile enhancement. Emphasis has
also been placed on interdisciplinary treatment planning using a biomimetic approach. I hope
you will enjoy this edition and apply your new knowledge to your daily practice successfully.

Yours faithfully,

Dr So Ran Kwon

Bio-aesthetics:
giving a new face to smile enhancements
Author_ Dr Didier Dietschi, Switzerland

Bio-aesthetics is the quintessence of biology, biomechanics
and aesthetics and aims to more conservative,
ethical solutions to a myriad of aesthetic deficiencies.

difying existing tooth anatomy or assuming the
replacement of decayed tissues; this constitutes
an unparalleled advantage of “free-hand bonding” also due to its relative simplicity. This rationale has been the foundation of a new concept
named “bio-aesthetics”, giving priority to additive, minimally or microinvasive procedures to
preserve tooth biology and biomechanics.

_Introduction
A more attractive smile, improved dental aesthetics and durable results have been for long
intimately linked to ceramic restorations such
as veneers and crowns and remain strongly anchored in patients and dental professional minds.
Modern composite resin technology has however challenged this assumption because they
offer excellent aesthetic potential and acceptable
longevity, with a much lower cost than equivalent
ceramic restorations for the treatment of both
anterior and posterior teeth.1–3 Moreover, composite restorations allow for minimally invasive
preparations or no preparation at all when mo-

While resin composites are universally considered the “standard of care” material for the filling
of small to medium class III, IV and V cavities, they
can be used today in many more indications such
as the correction of small to moderate aesthetic
and functional deficiencies.2, 3 ...+ Recent developments in composite optical properties and physical properties have also significantly contributed
to simplifying their application and improving
treatment outcome and predictability.4–6 The aim
of this short article is then to demonstrate the
potential and multiple applications of composite
as a modern aesthetic restorative material in the
context of bio-aesthetic treatment approach.

conditions such as minor aesthetic form
and colour corrections or extensive decays in non-vital teeth, lead to evident
solutions (direct and respectively indirect
restorations), while the majority of other
cases lie in a “gray zone” which actually
makes a pertinent choice more intricate.
A simple yet effective approach to this
dilemma relies on a sound bio-mechanical
analysis of the teeth potentially involved
in the treatment status, combined to the
usual functional and aesthetic analysis.
Then, having as a prime objective the respect of tooth biology and conservation
guides clinician to a logical decisional tree,
such as presented in table I.
The “Bio-aesthetic” philosophy actually give priority to chemical color improvements (vital bleaching, non-vital bleaching,

So far, the over-simplification (mono-incremental) as well as
over-complexity (multi-incremental) of shading systems has
tremendously limited the benefit of direct composite restorations.

_New shading approach:
the natural layering concept
To achieve perfect direct restorations has
been for long and hypothetical aim due to the
imperfect optical properties of many composite
resins systems. So far, the over-simplification
(mono-incremental) as well as over-complexity
(multi-incremental) of shading systems has
tremendously limited the benefit of direct composite restorations. Even today, the complexity
of some systems is often associated to shading
concepts mimicking ceramic systems (which are
applied in totally different layer thicknesses) or
the influence of over-meticulous clinicians who
compensated deficient composite optical properties with intricate layering concepts. The use
of the natural tooth as a model and the identification of respective dentine and enamel optical
characteristics (tristimulus L*a*b* colour measurements and contrast ratio) has then been
a landmark in developing better direct tooth
coloured materials.4, 7–8 The ‘natural layering
concept’ is then a simple and effective approach
to creating highly aesthetic direct restorations
which has become a reference in the field of
composite restorations.9–12_

“Aesthetic
dentistry in itself
means nothing”
An interview with Dr Pascal Magne, USA

_Success in aesthetic dentistry depends
on biology, function and mechanics; aesthetic dentistry cannot exist independently.
cosmetic dentistry had the opportunity to
speak with Dr Pascal Magne, a specialist in aesthetic dentistry, lecturer, author of many clinical
and research articles and the well-known book
Bonded Porcelain Restorations, and associate
professor at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, where he holds the Don and
Sybil Harrington Foundation Chair in Esthetic
Dentistry, about the latest trends in modern
restorative dentistry at the 12th Annual Scientific
Conference of the Polish Academy of Esthetic
Dentistry and Art Oral, which was held in June
2013 in Sopot, Poland.

Dr Pascal Magne

_cosmetic dentistry: Dr Magne, you created
an impressive training programme on aesthetic
restorative dentistry and have become one of
the most reputable lecturers on this topic. What
is the philosophy underlying your success?
Dr Pascal Magne: I believe that success needs
to be defined first. Success at work, success in
life, personal success? Often, professional success has been obtained by sacrifice of a personal
nature. Can it then still be considered success?
I strongly believe in what I call “balanced success”, meaning that the most important values,
such as spirituality and family, are preserved.
I also believe in mentorship.
My advice to young colleagues is to choose
one mentor (or several), a kind of dental parent.
I know it is not easy to find such a person but

14 I cosmetic

it is worth the search. I have been blessed in my
career to have three mentors, my clinical mentor,
Prof. Urs Belser (University of Geneva); my research mentor, Prof. William Douglas (University
of Minnesota); and my dental technique mentor,
my brother Michel (university of „life“).
Of course, none of this would have been
possible without my mentor above all, my Lord
Jesus, and I pray to receive his inspiration every
day. One of my favourite quotes is Proverbs 16: 9:
“In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord
determines his steps.”
_What are current concepts in aesthetic
restorative dentistry? In which direction is aesthetic dentistry developing?
Aesthetic dentistry in itself means nothing;
it is contingent on biology, function and mechanics. Aesthetic dentistry is the cherry on the
cake for those who follow sound biomimetic
concepts in restorative dentistry. Above all,
as described by Rev. W. John Murray in his book
The Realm of Reality, “the aesthetic is itself
nothing more than a beautiful symbol of the
spiritual, without which spiritual, the aesthetic
is a shadow without substance”.1
I like to remind my patients that they can
always have internal beauty, the beauty of the
heart, which surpasses physical aesthetics. That
said, if we look at your question from a more
technical perspective, the answer lies in the
biomimetic approach to restorative sciences,
which in turn is dependent on adhesive dentistry

and minimally invasive approaches—no post, no
crown dentistry.
Restorative dentistry is likely to evolve in a
manner similar to technological advancements
in general. If you have a smartphone, you know
what I mean. CAD/CAM and technology will be
used increasingly, and I hope for the best, meaning just as an additional tool in our armamentarium and not as an excuse to treat more patients.

I

when they start their practice. Today, we can
no longer ignore that adhesive dentistry is this
daily bread.
_Is it possible to reproduce the original stiffness of a tooth? How can this be achieved?
Absolutely! Much research, starting in the
early 1980s, has demonstrated that adhesive
forces obtained solely on enamel can restore

I believe we will stop using posts, crowns
and metal alloys, and stop performing intentional endodontics eventually—this has already
happened for many of us who believe in the
biomimetic approach.
My hope is that technology will make better
treatment accessible to more patients, with a reduced need for root-canal treatment and crown
lengthening. I see an increase in the diagnosis of
diet-related problems and improved differential
diagnosis between wear- and erosion-related
lesions. Such cases will force us to strive for the
solution that will preserve as much of the tooth
as possible (keep the pulp alive using non-retentive preparation) that is no-post no-crown
restorative dentistry. In summary I would say for
the future less is more (minimally invasive). We
will learn to think differently, think biomimetically, think bonding.
Technically, good bonding implies some
cardinal rules: good isolation (very important;
ideally a rubber dam) and knowledge of your
materials, products, and procedures. A checklist
is the best aid—this is similar to pilots going
through a checklist before flying an airplane!
Dentists need to have a look at sound, unbiased literature before choosing products.
Manufacturers do not always sell the best product but rather the most convenient one. Many
new products today have been developed in response to the pressure of the market; for example, one company starts a new trend and then all
the other companies follow with competing products even if this trend does not yield the best performance. It is business driven. It happens a lot.
I would say that dentists need to undergo
training and gain as much experience as possible
because we know that the operator factor is
even more critical than the choice of product and
technique. This is why as an academic I want
my students to have as much experience as
possible with the materials and techniques
that are going to represent their daily bread

the original stiffness of a tooth. Various degrees of stiffness are obtained with a combination of dental adhesives, composite resins
and ceramics that simulate dentine and enamel,
respectively.

_One of the objectives of your courses is to explain a new biomimetic approach to restorative
dentistry. What is this concept about?
I can respond in two words: mimicking nature. As said earlier, it implies first respecting
biological parameters, such as pulp vitality—
once lost, the pulp will not come back and
we know that a non-vital tooth has a poor
prognosis—then emulating mechanical function as intended by nature. This will ultimately
form an aesthetic and pleasing whole with
the tooth because dental materials that are
able to simulate the mechanical properties of
dentine and enamel are also available in tooth
colours.
This is the fundamental difference between
a filling (old alloy restorations) that only fills
a cavity like an obturator and one that rehabilitates the biomechanics of the tooth.
Biomimetic research is changing dentistry
using apparently weak materials synergistically
to simulate enamel and dentine. After all, enamel
is extremely brittle (more brittle than glass)

and dentine absolutely not wear resistant; yet,
together (bonded) they can make a tooth that
can withstand stress and function for a lifetime.
How do you explain that? That is synergy! What
I call the “dental trinity” (enamel, dentine and
dentino-enamel junction) should be the model
and we can realistically approach this model today with the structured use of porcelain/ceramics, composite resin, and enamel and dentine
bonding agents. Adhesive dentistry is the cornerstone of this process. Even endodontically
treated teeth can benefit from this approach
because the remaining enamel and dentine can
be preserved.
Adhesive dentistry today is capable of producing continuity between the ceramic/polymer
and the tooth, and above all allows us to save

It is a growing trend, and it will grow not
only as a restorative tool but also as a diagnostic
tool through the inclusion of various modules,
such as wear/erosion monitoring, caries detection, etc. I strongly believe in CAD/CAM but
only as a tool, not a philosophy of work. That
means that the operator still needs to have his
or her own core values, treatment planning
strategies, etc. that are totally independent of
the tools that are used to reach the treatment
objective.
_You have lectured all over the world. What do
you think dental education today should entail?
What should its main objective be?
I believe that an effective educator should be
imbued with passion and knowledge, and must
infect others with this passion and knowledge.
His or her teaching must be based not only
on science, but also on common sense and experience. The educator must not hide anything,
especially not his or her failures.
When listening to such a teacher, dentists
taking the course should feel empowered with
new abilities to provide their patients with
durable treatments that are better adapted and
more conservative.

a great deal of intact tooth structure (adhesion
replacing retention and resistance form). It
would be foolish to ignore bonding techniques
today and remove precious enamel and dentine
instead. In summary, it is not about aesthetics
but about tooth-conserving dentistry.
I believe biomimetic research will allow us to
develop better solutions for tooth replacement.
Currently, dental implants are not biomimetic
per se because of the lack of periodontal ligament, extreme stiffness, etc. (they are only indirectly biomimetic because they do not require
the neighbouring teeth to be altered). We are
looking at ways to make them more biomimetic
through the use of materials that are more compliant2 and even adhesive techniques—bonding
to implant abutments can be very useful.3

techniques in modern aesthetic restorative
dentistry? Is this the future or just a temporary
trend?

Ideally, this kind of teacher should be a model
in his or her personal life too. This is the difference between just having success and being
a successful human being. I am not saying that
I am a successful human being but I strive to be.
Albert Einstein once said, “I want to know God’s
thoughts; the rest are details.”
The main objective of dental education
should be to establish very strong core values;
values that will not age, that will be timeless.
We know that ten years from now, most of the
materials and tools that we use today will have
been supplanted by new ones.
So I always ask my colleagues, “What is it that
you would like to be remembered for when you
retire?”. This question usually calls for a deep
reflection about one’s values.
Deep respect for God’s creation, including

_Abstract

_Introduction

Challenges in aesthetic dentistry frequently involve achieving natural and lifelike surface textures
and ensuring the predictability of the final aesthetic
results.

Lack of predictability regarding the final aesthetic outcome of CAD/CAM restorations is one of
the major concerns among dental professionals,
particularly in complex cases involving reconstruction using multiple units. Unfortunately, there is
limited literature available on this topic. This article
presents a technique in which light-cured flowable
composite resin shells are used as temporary
veneers prior to the final restoration to predict and
preview the aesthetic and morphological outcomes
using CAD/CAM technology. A clinical case is used
to describe and illustrate the
clinical steps.1

This article presents the anatomic shell technique (AST), which uses flowable composite resin
shells as temporary veneers to guide the fabrication of the final restorations and to predict
the aesthetic and morphological outcomes using
CAD/CAM technology.

One of the challenges in
aesthetic dentistry is achieving natural and lifelike surface textures.2 Surface texture directly influences the
colour, value and saturation
and the zones of light reflection and absorption. An anterior restoration that does not
exhibit a surface texture and
lustre that is comparable to
the adjacent natural teeth
will immediately appear to be
out of place, particularly when
the surface of the surrounding
dentition is complex or heavily
textured. The natural tooth
surface is composed of horizontal and vertical concavities

and convexities that vary in complexity and intensity from tooth to tooth. The ability to observe and
replicate the surface texture and lustre to create an
anterior restoration that is indistinguishable from
adjacent natural teeth typically requires a highly
skilled laboratory technician. However, if one could
mimic the surface texture of adjacent natural tooth
surfaces and use a milling machine to reproduce it,
one could provide a very good aesthetic restoration
without the need for a highly skilled laboratory
technician. The goal of this article is to describe
a novel approach that attempts to reproduce the
complexities and nuances observed in the surface
texture and lustre of natural teeth utilising the
AST technique for CAD/CAM restorations.

At this point, it was decided to address the
patient’s aesthetic goals with porcelain veneers.
To achieve a rapid aesthetic transformation, the
treatment plan involved using digital dental technology together with a novel concept in which composite resin temporary veneers (composite resin
shells) were utilised prior to the placement of the
final restorations to predict the final aesthetic
outcome and to provide lifelike texture.

_Materials
IPS Empress CAD Multi (leucite-reinforced glassceramic blocks; Ivoclar Vivadent) in shade A2 was

_Case description
The treatment described
involved a 43-year-old patient seen at the clinic with
the chief complaint of dark
staining of his teeth from antibiotic therapy (particularly
tooth 21; Figs. 1a–d). The patient stated that his appearance affected his ability to
socialise and smile. The patient expressed an interest in
having his teeth treated to improve both his appearance
and his occlusion.
The clinical examination
revealed a very dark root due
to endodontic treatment, with
compromised remaining coronal structure. The endodontic treatment was accepted
and a fibre post was cemented using a dual-cure resin
cement (Multilink Automix,
Ivoclar Vivadent) according
to the manufacturer’s instructions, followed by temporisation. Tooth 11 also exhibited
an abfraction lesion.

I technique _ improving aesthetics
After determining the ideal shapes and sizes
from the digital smile design database, Hajto models3 were selected based on the previously determined tooth dimensions of the patient. Hajto models are replicas of the ideal natural anterior dentition
of males and females, with examples of different
tooth shapes, sizes and surface textures. Subsequently, a silicone index (Virtual, Ivoclar Vivadent)
was produced from the labial surface of the anterior
teeth of the Hajto model that best matched the
patient (Figs. 2a & b).
Fig. 4

_Composite resin shells
A light-cured flowable composite resin (Tetric
EvoFlow Ivoclar Vivadent) was then carefully placed
into the index to produce very thin composite
shells that duplicated the shape of the model teeth.
After complete polymerisation, the composite shells
were gently placed intra-orally on the labial surfaces of the teeth and adjusted to obtain the best
possible fit (Fig. 3a).

or diagnostic casts were used during the treatment
planning and clinical procedures. The entire aesthetic treatment plan relied upon imaging (including photographs), prefabricated Hajto models3 and
dental digital technology (CEREC AC with Bluecam,
Sirona—CEREC Software 4.0).

_Description of the anatomic
shell technique
The digital smile design protocol4–8 was used
to determine the aesthetic needs of the patient.
The patient, with the dentist’s assistance, selected
the shapes of the teeth that best suited him using
digital photographs of natural smiles from a computer smile library.

Once the best anatomic resin shell position was
obtained, the shells were polished and luted without acid etching using flowable composite (Tetric
EvoFlow, Ivoclar Vivadent) (Fig. 3d–f).
The clinician together with the patient evaluated the aesthetic outcome with the polished
composite shells in place (Fig. 3d–f). Digital photographs were taken to analyse the symmetry between the teeth and the patient’s face. Following
the digital imaging analyses, small adjustments
were performed at the interproximal embrasures.
After completion of the aesthetic modifications
and polishing steps, the patient approved the
aesthetic design (Fig. 4).

_Digital imaging
In order to facilitate the digital image capturing
process, CEREC Optispray powder (Sirona; Fig. 5)
was applied in the patient’s mouth to coat the teeth
restored with the composite resin shells. An intraoral scanner (CEREC Bluecam) was then used to
create a 3-D digital model of the full mouth with
the temporary composite resin shells.

In this procedure, the composite shells help to
predict the shape and the final aesthetic outcome
of the milling process. They also serve as a guide
to establish the amount of reduction necessary during tooth preparation. After the scanning process,
the teeth were prepared using the composite resin
shells as a reference to determine the amount of
tooth reduction.
A digital impression was taken (CEREC Bluecam)
after the preparations had been completed. The digital image acquired after preparation was merged
and correlated with the digital image taken with
the anatomic composite shell in place to generate
the proper shape of the permanent veneers to be
fabricated (Figs. 6a–e). The milling process was then
initiated using a CEREC III milling unit equipped
with CEREC Software 4.0.
After the milling process, the veneers were removed from the milling unit and visually inspected
for potential flaws. The veneers were then tried-in,
polished with 0.6 µ diamond paste and subsequently placed with Variolink Veneer Medium Value 0
(Ivoclar Vivadent) using the adhesive technique according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Figs. 7a–c).
In order to mask the dark shade of the tooth substrate, a staining agent (IPS Empress Universal
Stains, Ivoclar Vivadent) was applied internally to
each veneer prior to cementation.

ness of the final restorations and the straighter incisal edges of the two central incisors (Figs. 7a–c)
compared with the composite shells (Figs. 3d–f).
These differences were attributed to a software
limitation, as no other anatomical/morphological
modification was performed after the milling process
had been completed. However, the final outcome
using monochromatic blocks was acceptable and the
clinical sequence presented here using AST shows
a very simple and innovative way to predict the final
outcome of an aesthetic treatment and suggests
that CAD/CAM technology is a very attractive concept when one understands the materials science,
machine capability and the limitations involved._

_Conclusion
The concept of chairside CAD/CAM restoration
differs from conventional dentistry in that the
restoration is typically luted or bonded in place
on the same day, whereas conventional dental prostheses of larger size, such as crowns, involve the
placement of temporaries for several weeks while
a dental laboratory produces the restoration.1 As the
CAD/CAM restoration is bonded on the same day, the
principles applied in predicting the final outcomes
present unique challenges compared with conventional clinical procedures for any aesthetic treatment. The clinical case described here presented
some limitations, as can be seen in the slight bulki-

By applying the biomimetic approach to the
treatment of our patients,
we can achieve satisfying
results aesthetically and
functionally. The aim of
the biomimetic approach
is to respect nature and
effect as little irreversible

in patients with multiple

this is a therapeutic challenge and requires extensive knowledge, experience and close collaboration between different

Combined orthodontic, prosthodontic, and implant treatment was planned, aimed at restoring
aesthetics and function with the maximum preservation of hard tissue, while replacing the missing teeth and reshaping the maxillary lateral incisors. It was planned to close the diastemas between the teeth, restore the midline in both arches
and canine guidance, and gain the space necessary for one premolar on each side of the maxilla
and the second premolars in the mandible. The
missing teeth were to be replaced with crowns
supported by implants, while the shape of incisors was to be changed with veneers and direct
composite.

In the mandibular arch on the left side, the left
canine assumed the function of the lateral incisor

orthodontic treatment, the persistent primary tooth
was retained, to provide additional anchorage and
to maintain the width of the alveolar process.

After orthodontic treatment had been completed, a new occlusal analysis was performed
to evaluate the aesthetics and to establish the
implant-prosthodontic rehabilitation necessary.
Photographs were taken at different angles and diagnostic casts were mounted in an Artex partially

and traumatic occlusion were seen in articulation
(centric relation = maximum intercuspation).
No subjective or objective temporomandibular
joint problems were registered. Spaces were closed
and tooth contacts were restored in the maxillary
and mandibular anterior segments. The space
necessary to restore missing teeth 24, 25 and 45
was established by orthodontic treatment. In order
to restore missing tooth 14, the space was maintained by retaining the persistent primary molar
(Figs. 5a–d).

_White and red aesthetics
About 1 mm of the incisal edges was visible with
lips in the rest position. During smiling, normal
exposure of the maxillary teeth was present and
the incisal line did not follow the curvature of the
lower lip. In order to maintain the canine guidance,
elongation of the maxillary incisors was not possible. The anterior gingival margin line was normal.

patient’s mouth (Figs. 6 a & b). It was decided to recontour the mesial angles of the maxillary central
incisors with composite and to apply two ceramic
feldspathic veneers sintered on a refractory mass
to the lateral incisors. Because the patient did
not agree to the recontouring of the maxillary
canines, it was decided not to close the gaps

CBCT was performed to
evaluate the anatomical and
surgical conditions, and to
plan the surgical treatment.
Owing to sufficient height
and width of the alveolar
process at the implant sites,
guided bone regeneration
was not required. TSIII implants (OSSTEM; 4 mm ×
10 mm S, 3.5 mm × 10 mm M)
were used in regions 14
and 24, and TSII implants
(OSSTEM; 3.5 mm × 10 mm M,
3.5 mm × 10 mm M) were used
in regions 35 and 45. However, delayed implantation in
region 14 was performed four
weeks after the extraction of
tooth 55 (Figs. 7 & 8a–c).

_Prosthodontic treatment
Recontouring of the central incisors was performed using the direct method with GRADIA
DIRECT composite (GC Europe) and a two-component adhesive system, CLEARFIL SE BOND (Kuraray
Noritake). Mesial angles were recontoured using
the standard Hawe celluloid matrix system
(Kerr). The composite surface
was prepared and polished
using Sof-Lex discs (3M ESPE;
Figs. 9a & b). The contours of
the veneers for teeth 12 and
22 were checked again using
a mock-up, and then minor
adjustments were performed.
Using a specially trimmed silicone mock-up, the amount
of space for the planned
ceramic reconstructions was
determined and the prepa-

ration of teeth was abandoned. After cleaning the
teeth with pumice and introducing Ultrapak #00
retraction cord (Ultradent) into the gingival
sulcus, two-layer single-phase impressions were
taken using polyvinyl siloxane impression material
(Bisico).
Once the final restorations had been received
from the laboratory (Fig. 10), their integrity, match
to the abutments and colour were checked using
a Variolink Try-in paste
(Ivoclar Vivadent). The
abutment surfaces were
isolated with a rubber dam
and cleaned with pumice,
then rinsed thoroughly
with water and etched
with 37 % phosphoric acid
for 45 seconds. They were
then rinsed with water for
the same period. Subsequently, Variolink Veneer
light-curing adhesive composite was applied. Meanwhile, the inner surfaces
of the veneers were etched

applied to the veneers’ surface and the veneers
were placed on the abutments. Excess material

I mentioned at the beginning, apart from other
crucial issues, it is important to preserve the patient’s own tissue as far as possible, which translates into the longevity and stability of the restorations. The case presented demonstrates that.
We achieved satisfactory long-term aesthetic and
functional results with minimum intervention.
After two years, there is perfect bone stability
around the implants (Fig. 21a–d) and excellent
gingival integration with the prostheses on both
the implants and the natural teeth (Figs. 22a & b,

of an oxygen inhibition layer on the composite
bond. Curing was continued with an 800 mW/cm2
polymerisation lamp for 60 seconds on each surface. Excess composite was removed with a #12
scalpel blade, and the veneers were polished with
strips and rubber polishing burs for composites.
Finally, the veneers were checked during occlusion and articulation using 14 µm articulating paper. Corrections were made using a 45 µm smooth
diamond-coated bur on a 1: 5 speed-increasing
handpiece on a micromotor. The final polishing
was performed using rubber burs for composites
(Figs. 11a & b). After a week, gingival integration
with the veneers had been achieved (Figs. 12a & b,
13 a–d).
After a period of healing, the emergence profile
of the implant restorations was reshaped using
crowns on temporary abutments (Figs. 14a & b).
After obtaining a satisfactory effect for implants
24, 35 and 45, permanent zirconia crowns on standard zirconia abutments were fabricated (Figs. 14c
& d, 15a–c, 16a & b). Owing to the thick layer of soft
tissue, a modified screw-retained zirconia crown
on a zirconia abutment was placed on implant 14
(Figs. 17a & b). The emergence profile was reshaped
using a crown bonded to the standard zirconia
abutment and the crown was veneered with
feldspathic ceramics only at the supragingival
zone, owing to the unavailability of individually
shaped zirconia abutments for the OSSTEM system
(Fig. 18).

_Conclusion
Working with patients missing so many permanent teeth is extremely difficult and sometimes
marked with compromise. Achieving a satisfactory
result both functionally and aesthetically is possible only through the close co-operation of specialists from various fields of dentistry and meticulous
planning from the commencement of treatment
to the final aesthetic stage (Figs. 19a & b, 20). As

_In the case presented, the treatment plan
was to place a single implant in the aesthetically demanding anterior maxillary region in the
place of the left lateral incisor. A moderate horizontal ridge defect was present and the residual
bone width was 5.6 mm. A staged approach

employing a guided bone regeneration technique
with a porcine partially demineralised cortical
lamina (OsteoBiol Soft Cortical Lamina, Tecnoss

stem cells are activated and differentiate into the

tissue maintenance and repair in adulthood and

_The human body contains over 200 different
types of cells, which are organised into tissues
and organs that perform all the tasks required to
maintain the viability of the system, including reproduction. In healthy adult tissues, the cell population size is the result of a fine balance between cell
proliferation, differentiation, and death. Following
tissue injury, cell proliferation begins to repair the

It has long been observed that tissues can differentiate into a wide variety of cells, and in the case
of blood, skin and the gastric lining the differentiated cells possess a short half-life and are incapable
of renewing themselves. This has led to the idea
that some tissues may be maintained by stem cells,
which are defined as cells with enormous renewal
capacity (self-replication) and the ability to generate daughter cells with the capacity of differentiation. Such cells, also known as adult stem cells,
will only produce the appropriate cell lines for the
tissues in which they reside (Fig. 1).

Not only can stem cells be isolated from both
adult and embryo tissues; they can also be kept
in cultures as undifferentiated cells. Embryo stem
cells have the ability to produce all the differentiated cells of an adult. Their potential can therefore
be extended beyond the conventional mesodermal
lineage to include differentiation into liver, kidney,
muscle, skin, cardiac, and nerve cells (Fig. 2).
The recognition of stem cell potential unearthed a new age in medicine: the age of regenerative medicine. It has made it possible to consider

the regeneration of damaged tissue or an organ
that would otherwise be lost. Because the use of
embryo stem cells raises ethical issues for obvious
reasons, most scientific studies focus on the applications of adult stem cells. Adult stem cells are
not considered as versatile as embryo stem cells
because they are widely regarded as multipotent,
that is, capable of giving rise to certain types of
specific cells/tissues only, whereas the embryo
stem cells can differentiate into any types of
cells/tissues. Advances in scientific research have
determined that some tissues have greater diffi-

culty regenerating, such as the nervous tissue,
whereas bone and blood, for instance, are considered more suitable for stem cell therapy.
In dentistry, pulp from primary teeth has been
thoroughly investigated as a potential source of
stem cells with promising results. However, the
regeneration of an entire tooth, known as third
dentition, is a highly complex process, which despite some promising results with animals remains
very far from clinical applicability. The opposite has
been observed in the area of jawbone regeneration,
where there is a higher level of scientific evidence
for its clinical applications. Currently, adult stem
cells have been harvested from bone marrow and
fat, among other tissues.
Bone marrow is haematopoietic, that is, capable of producing all the blood cells. Since the 1950s,
when Nobel Prize winner Dr E. Donnall Thomas
demonstrated the viability of bone marrow transplants in patients with leukaemia, many lives
have been saved using this approach for a variety
of immunological and haematopoietic illnesses.
However, the bone marrow contains more than
just haematopoietic stem cells (which give rise
to red and white blood cells, as well as platelets,
for example); it is also home to mesenchymal
stem cells (which will become bone, muscle and fat
tissues, for instance; Fig. 3).
Bone marrow harvesting is carried out under
local anaesthesia using an aspiration needle
through the iliac (pelvic) bone. Other than requiring a competent doctor to perform such a task, it is

not regarded as an excessively invasive or complex
procedure. It is also not associated with high levels of discomfort either intra or post-operatively
(Figs. 4a & b).
Bone reconstruction is a challenge in dentistry
(also in orthopaedics and oncology) because rebuilding bony defects caused by trauma, infections, tumours or dental extractions requires bone
grafting. The lack of bone in the jaws may impede
the placement of dental implants, thus adversely
affecting patients’ quality of life. In order to remedy bone scarcity, a bone graft is conventionally
harvested from the chin region or the angle of
the mandible. If the amount required is too large,
bone from the skull, legs or pelvis may be used.
Unlike the process for harvesting bone marrow, the
process involved in obtaining larger bone grafts
is often associated with high levels of discomfort and, occasionally, inevitable post-operative
sequelae (Figs. 5a–e).
The problems related to bone grafting have encouraged the use of bone substitutes (synthetic
materials and bone from human or bovine donors,
for example). However, such materials show inferior results compared with autologous bone grafts
(from the patient himself/herself), since they lack
autologous proteins. Therefore, in critical bony
defects, that is, those requiring specific therapy
to recover their original contour, a novel concept
to avoid autologous grafting, involving the use of
bone-sparing material combined with stem cells
from the same patient, has been gaining ground
as a more modern philosophy of treatment. Con-

cells for bone reconstruction (Fig. 9). It is clear that
the level of mineralised tissue is significantly
higher in those areas where stem cells were applied
(Figs. 10a & b).

Until recently, no studies had compared the
different methods available for using bone marrow
stem cells for bone reconstruction. In the following
paragraphs, I shall summarise a study conducted
by our research team, which entailed the creation
of critical bony defects in rabbits and subsequently
applying each of the four main stem cell methods
used globally in order to compare their effectiveness in terms of bone healing:1
_fresh bone marrow (without any kind of processing);
_a bone marrow stem cell concentrate;
_a bone marrow stem cell culture; and
_a fat stem cell culture (Figs. 6 & 7).
In a fifth group of animals, no cell therapy
method (control group) was used. The best bone
regeneration results were found in the groups in
which a bone marrow stem cell concentrate and
a bone marrow stem cell culture were used, and
the control group showed the worst results. Consequently, it was suggested that stem cells from
bone marrow would be more suitable than those
from fat tissue for bone reconstruction and that
a simple stem cell concentrate method (which
takes a few hours) would achieve similar results to
those obtained using complex cell culture procedures (which take on average three to four weeks;
Figs. 8a & b).
Similar studies performed in humans have
corroborated the finding that bone marrow stem
cells improve the repair of bony defects caused
by trauma, dental extractions or tumours. The
histological images below illustrate the potential
of bone-sparing materials combined with stem

Evidently, although bone marrow stem cell
techniques for bone reconstruction are very close
to routine clinical use, much caution must be
exercised before indicating such a procedure. This
procedure requires an appropriately trained surgical and laboratory team, as well as the availability
of the necessary resources (Figs. 11a–h, taken during laboratory manipulation of marrow stem cells
at São Leopoldo Mandic dental school in Brazil)._

Dublin conference discussed
future concepts in dental
implant rehabilitation
cussed when the Convention Centre Dublin
opened its doors last October for the 22nd Annual
Scientific Meeting of the European Association
for Osseointegration (EAO).
According to the organiser, over 2,000 dental
professionals participated the three-day event,
which was held in the Irish capital for the second
time. In addition to current issues in the field,
like peri-implantitis and the challenges linked to
the treatment of an increasing elderly population,
the congress reflected on new developments
and methods, such as computer-assisted implant
rehabilitation and tissue regeneration.
Moreover, a number of sessions focused on risk
factors, treatment planning and the possibilities
of virtual learning techniques.

sessions and poster presentations took place
between the scientific sessions.
New products for treatment outcomes that are
more predictable and an improved workflow in
dental practices and laboratories were presented
at the industry exhibition, which was supported by
87 sponsors this year. Among others, MIS and Henry
Schein presented their latest tools for a complete
digital workflow. Furthermore, Danish dental solutions provider 3Shape had its recently launched
TRIOS intra-oral scanning system on display. New
and improved implant systems were presented by
Implant Direct and a number of other companies.
In 1995, the EAO held one of its earliest meetings in Dublin. Since then, the prestigious event
has taken place at 17 locations in 15 countries
throughout Europe. Last year’s anniversary meeting in Copenhagen saw more than 2,500 professionals participating, the number expected for the
2013 edition in Ireland. In addition to the Royal
College of Surgeons in Ireland and the Oral Surgery Society of Ireland, the meeting has received
support from the Irish Society of Periodontology
and the Prosthodontic Society of Ireland.

“In 1995, implant treatment was provided by
a fairly small number of specialists and access
for patients was limited,” commented Dr Brian
O’Connell, congress chairman and Professor of
Restorative Dentistry at Trinity College Dublin’s
dental school and hospital.
“Now implant treatment is available in every
part of the country and is provided by a wide
range of practitioners. As a result, awareness has
really grown among the population. (…)Europe
has a generally ageing population, who may have
the greatest demand and need for dental implant
treatment in the future. Evidence suggests that
the majority remain healthy and active for much
longer than we may have believed. We need to
learn much more about the specific requirements
of the older population and be aware of the risks
as well. Often assumptions about older people are
inaccurate. Although they may less demanding
about their needs, they frequently respond well
to implant treatment.”
Next year’s EAO annual congress will be held
from 16 to 19 October in Rome. For details please

on an industrial scale and with consistently
high quality. They can be used easily in everyday milling process for laboratories with
milling machines. A natural-looking restoration can be achieved immediately in one
step, yielding a remarkable result with a
natural gradient. The shortened manufacturing process makes the discs economical
and avoids possible complaints.
The KATANA range is completed by the
white KATANA Zirconia HT (High Translucent)
Disc, which offers additional possibilities for
individual staining and veneering.

_The KATANA Zirconia ML (Multi-Layered)
Disc consists of four pre-coloured layers showing smooth enamel, dentine and cervical colour
shifts. They represent natural tooth colours
and allow dentists to achieve a natural-looking
restoration.

_KATANA Zirconia ML yields impressive
results immediately
The sintering process can be started immediately after milling without the usual working
steps like dipping or painting and drying, significantly reducing the steps in the production
process. After polishing or glazing, impressive
restorations can be achieved under standard
conditions.

_Reproducibility of colours for crowns,
bridges and frames by integrated
colour gradation
The reliability of KATANA, Noritake’s highperformance zirconia material, has been proven
scientifically.1 Reproducibility has been further
developed and with KATANA Zirconia ML we have
succeeded in making predictable and aesthetic
results as easy to achieve as possible.

about the publisher _ submission guidelines

submission guidelines:
Please note that all the textual components of your submission
must be combined into one MS Word document. Please do not
submit multiple files for each of these items:
_the complete article;
_all the image (tables, charts, photographs, etc.) captions;
_the complete list of sources consulted; and
_the author or contact information (biographical sketch, mailing
address, e-mail address, etc.).

I

Image requirements
Please number images consecutively throughout the article
by using a new number for each image. If it is imperative that
certain images are grouped together, then use lowercase letters
to designate these in a group (for example, 2a, 2b, 2c).
Please place image references in your article wherever they
are appropriate, whether in the middle or at the end of a sentence.
If you do not directly refer to the image, place the reference
at the end of the sentence to which it relates enclosed within
brackets and before the period.
In addition, please note:

In addition, images must not be embedded into the MS Word
document. All images must be submitted separately, and details
about such submission follow below under image requirements.
Text length
Article lengths can vary greatly—from 1,500 to 5,500 words—
depending on the subject matter. Our approach is that if you
need more or less words to do the topic justice, then please make
the article as long or as short as necessary.
We can run an unusually long article in multiple parts, but this
usually entails a topic for which each part can stand alone because it contains so much information.
In short, we do not want to limit you in terms of article length,
so please use the word count above as a general guideline and if
you have specific questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Text formatting
We also ask that you forego any special formatting beyond the
use of italics and boldface. If you would like to emphasise certain
words within the text, please only use italics (do not use underlining or a larger font size). Boldface is reserved for article headers.
Please do not use underlining.
Please use single spacing and make sure that the text is left justified. Please do not centre text on the page. Do not indent paragraphs, rather place a blank line between paragraphs. Please do
not add tab stops.

_We require images in TIF or JPEG format.
_These images must be no smaller than 6 x 6 cm in size at 300 DPI.
_These image files must be no smaller than 80 KB in size (or they
will print the size of a postage stamp!).
Larger image files are always better, and those approximately
the size of 1 MB are best. Thus, do not size large image files down
to meet our requirements but send us the largest files available.
(The larger the starting image is in terms of bytes, the more leeway the designer has for resizing the image in order to fill up more
space should there be room available.)
Also, please remember that images must not be embedded into
the body of the article submitted. Images must be submitted
separately to the textual submission.
You may submit images via e-mail, via our FTP server or post
a CD containing your images directly to us (please contact us
for the mailing address, as this will depend upon the country from
which you will be mailing).
Please also send us a head shot of yourself that is in accordance
with the requirements stated above so that it can be printed with
your article.
Abstracts
An abstract of your article is not required.

Should you require a special layout, please let the word processing
programme you are using help you do this formatting automatically. Similarly, should you need to make a list, or add footnotes
or endnotes, please let the word processing programme do it for
you automatically. There are menus in every programme that will
enable you to do so. The fact is that no matter how carefully done,
errors can creep in when you try to number footnotes yourself.

Author or contact information
The author’s contact information and a head shot of the author
are included at the end of every article. Please note the exact
information you would like to appear in this section and format it according to the requirements stated above. A short
biographical sketch may precede the contact information
if you provide us with the necessary information (60 words
or less).

Any formatting contrary to stated above will require us to remove
such formatting before layout, which is very time-consuming.
Please consider this when formatting your document.
