“…The presence of spacing in the oral cavity causes both medical and psychological drawbacks to the patient. The lack of contact points present between adjacent teeth leads to the development of gingivitis; causing the decreased formation of an attractive smile 3 . Enhancement of aesthetics of anterior teeth is a challenging procedure.…”

Interdental spaces and lack of contact points between teeth are characteristic features of teeth spacing. Localized spacing is the term used when two to six teeth are involved. The aim of this study is to describe the visible changes that occurred in the oral cavity and indicate the possible treatment methods for the case. Localized spacing is due to several local factors which include small teeth, large arch length and periodontal disease. This case report discusses the aesthetic management of a young Egyptian male complaining of bad anterior aesthetics and the inability to talk or smile confidentially and therefore leading to a decrease in his confidence and psychological health. Thorough patient assessment were followed by impression taking a diagnostic wax-up and an intra-oral motivational mockup for aesthetic biological and functional verification. Upon the patient's agreement on the treatment fixed restorations using mockup guided preparation technique were carried out. The laminate veneers closed the spaces with the natural appearance the patient desired and he was satisfied with the outcome. The function and occlusion of the restoration were good and provided optimal results in phonetics and gingival health. It also prevented food impaction in contrary to the initial condition. The veneers and the periodontal tissues were in a good condition at the one-year recall The laminate veneers restored the maxillary anterior localized spacing and provided an excellent esthetic outcome as well as being a minimally invasive treatment that requires less time and immediate results.

“…Regarding tooth dimensions, several guidelines have been proposed for creating the correct proportions of anterior teeth. Those guidelines are based on perceived proportions viewed from the facial aspect, and one of them is the golden proportion [ 4 , 5 ]. The golden proportion is used to create a pleasing smile that is balanced with the face.…”

“…The gingival margin of the CIs should match the Cs and should be slightly above the gingival margin of the LIs [ 8 , 9 ]. The gingival zenith is the most apical aspect of the free gingival margin [ 4 , 10 , 11 ]. The location of the gingival zenith in a medial-lateral position relative to the vertical tooth axis of the maxillary anterior teeth is esthetically important.…”

Background. The purpose of this study was to observe and describe some of the dento-gingival components of esthetics like the mean gingival zenith position (GZP) with respect to the vertical bisected midline axis (VBM), relative gingival zenith level (GZL) of lateral incisors (LIs), heights and widths of central incisors (CIs), LIs, and their ratios. Materials and Methods. This cross-sectional, hospital-based, descriptive study was conducted from Feb 2019 to Aug 2019. Ethical clearance was taken from the Institutional Review Committee of B. P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences. Convenience sampling was done. Variables (above mentioned) were marked and measured on the casts with a calibrated digital vernier caliper and entered in the data sheet, and descriptive analysis was done with SPSS version 20. Results. A total of 210 subjects of the age group 18–25 years were included in the study. Mean GZP of the right CI was 0.49 ± 0.54 mm, of the left CI was 0.42 ± 0.43 mm, of the right LI was 0.20 ± 0.34 mm, of the left LI was 0.04 ± 0.35 mm, of the right C (Canine) was 0.023 ± 0.38 mm, and of left C was 0.07 ± 0.38 mm. Mean relative GZL of LI was about 0.40–0.41 mm below the reference line. Mean height of the right CI was 9.34 ± 0.93 mm, and that of the left CI was 9.31 ± 0.87 mm; that of the right LI was 7.91 ± 0.98 mm, and that of the left LI was 7.92 ± 0.91 mm. Mean width of the right CI was 8.34 ± 0.57 mm, and that of the left CI was 8.38 ± 0.48 mm; that of the right LI was 6.62 ± 0.58 mm, and that of the left LI was 6.66 ± 0.53 mm. Conclusions. Mean GZP of each upper anterior tooth was distally located with respect to VBM; that of CI was more distally placed than LI and C. Relative GZL of LI was below the reference line. The central incisor width/height ratio obtained was >80% that means a squarer tooth.
