The psychosocial impacts of implantation on the dental aesthetics of missing anterior teeth patients

Esthetic evaluation and patient‐centered outcomes in single‐tooth implant rehabilitation in the esthetic area

“…As, to the best of our knowledge to date, a validated, implant‐specific, patient‐reported outcome measure focused on esthetic evaluation is not available, other patient‐reported outcome measures developed in different specialties in dentistry could be adapted and validated . For example, the Oral Health Impact Profile‐Esthetic , the Orofacial Esthetic Scale and the Psychosocial Impact of Dental Esthetics questionnaire are tools developed for other dental branches and are focused on the patient's perception of their esthetic outcome. These instruments could be used as a framework to develop an implant condition‐specific patient‐reported outcome measure for the assessment of esthetic satisfaction .…”

Angulations of Anterior Teeth With Reference to the Alveolar Bone Measured by CBCT in a Chinese Population

“…[1][2][3] Bone resorption, negative effect of losing tooth, has a strong impact on esthetic appearance, especially in the anterior region. 4,5 To reduce bone resorption, first reported in 1976, implantation was performed immediately after extraction. 6 Through clinical study, Ataullah et al 7 confirmed that immediate implant placement, delayed implant placement, and implant placement in healed sites would achieve comparable outcomes.…”

End points and assessments in esthetic dental treatment

“…If the patient has high satisfaction with esthetics, the PIDAQ score for dental self-confidence will be high, and the scores for the other subscales will be low. Few studies concerning the outcome of esthetic dental treatments using the PIDAQ have been reported [38]. However, the PIDAQ has recently been translated into other languages [39][40][41][42], so it may become effective for evaluating the esthetic outcome not only of orthodontic treatment but also of prosthodontic treatment.…”
