The Influence of a Single Infrapositioned Anterior Ankylosed Tooth or Implant Supported Restoration In Smile Attractiveness

CONCLUSIONS: Even a minor infraposition of a single maxillary anterior ankylosed tooth or implant supported restoration, can reduce the perceived attractiveness of the face. Infraposition in canine's area can be better tolerated in a medium, compared to a high smile line. In patients with a high smile line prosthetic intervention in order to restore the incisal edge of an infrapositioned tooth, without to harmonize the gingival contour, can be beneficial for the lateral incisor, ineffective for the central incisor and unfavorable for the canine.PMID:38498787 | DOI:10.11607/jomi.10749
