    Esthetic impact of gingival plastic surgery from the dentistry students' perspective
    (Dental Investigations Society, 2016) Ayyildiz E.; Tan E.; Keklik H.; Demirtag Z.; Celebi A.A.; Pithon M.M.
    Objective: The aim of the this study was to evaluate the perception of smile esthetics and alterations in cases of gingival plastic surgery for correction of a gummy smile, by means of alterations in smile photograph among dentistry degree students. Materials and Methods: A frontal smile photograph of a 40-year-old woman having normal occlusion was used with diverse compositions of gingival exposure level and crown length of maxillary teeth. The eight photographs were evaluated by 216 dentistry students in five class groups (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th classes). Results: The results revealed that almost all of the class' students perceived differences between images, additionally, the highest percentage of students that answered "no difference" was 12% at 1st class' students. 1st and 2nd class' students most liked photograph which is 2.5 mm gingival display and 3rd class students liked two different photographs which are 2.5 mm gingival display and 2 mm gingival display whereas 4th class students preferred two different photographs which are 1.5 mm gingival display and 1 mm gingival display, 5th class students preferred photograph which is 1.5 mm gingival display as the most. Conclusion: Esthetic perception of smile improve as a student passes to higher study classes in terms of gingival exposure. The harmonious display of gingiva exhibits an important effect in the smile esthetics rather than reduced or excessive display. © 2016 European Journal of Dentistry | Published by Wolters Kluwer-Medknow.

    Unilateral fusion of mandibular permanent lateral incisor with canine: A report of a rare case
    (2013) Ayyildiz E.; Çolak H.; Turkal M.; Uzgur R.
    Fusion is a developmental anomaly which occurs due to a union of one or more adjacent teeth during morpho-differentiation of the dental germs. Early diagnosis of this condition is important because it may cause clinical problems, such as esthetic concerns and arch asymmetry. These anomalies may be unilateral or bilateral and may affect either dentition, although the deciduous teeth are more commonly affected. This report describes a rare case of unilateral fusion between the mandibular permanent lateral incisors and the canine. Only few cases have been previously reported in the English literature. Hence this article aimed at reporting a case of this rare condition and evaluating the presence of any associated pathology.
