There are three important factors that play an important role when planning and designing any fixed or removable aesthetic and functional restoration. They include; Facial skin complexion, gingival tissue pigmentation and Tooth shade respectively. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine a relationship of facial skin complexion with the gingiva and tooth shade on smile attractiveness. Methods: This cross-sectional, analytical study was conducted at the Operative Dentistry Department of Altamash Institute of Dental Medicine, Karachi, Pakistan. It included 250 patients from 18-68 years of age of either gender over a period of 1 year from 15th October 2014 to 15th October 2015 respectively. The Facial skin complexion was determined by the Ideal Balance Quick Stick Makeup shade guide manufactured by (Revlon Foundation Makeup Shade Guide, USA) and was divided into three skin tone groups (Fair, Medium and Dark) respectively. The intensity and location of Gingival tissue pigmentation was determined by Dummett-Oral Pigmentation Index (DOPI). Lastly, the shade of middle one-third of labial surface of maxillary teeth was recorded visually with the help of a Vitapan 3D- Master shade Guide (VITA Zahnfabrik, Bad Sackingen, Germany) under a standardized natural day lightening procedure. Results: The data was analyzed by using the SPSS version 20.0 (Statistical Package for Social Sciences for Windows, SPSS Inc. Chicago). Out of 250 participants; 162 were male and 88 were female participants. The most common shade recorded was 2M1 (14.4%) followed by 3M2 (13.6%), 2L1.5 (10.8%) and 2R1.5 (9.6%). Among the males, the most common shade recorded was 3M2 (18.5%) and among the females the most common shade recorded was 2M1 (21.5%). The Value 2 shade was commonly seen in (45.2%), followed by Value 3; (31.2%), Value 1; (13.2%) and Value 4 (10.1%) of patients; However no shade was recorded for Value 5 shade group. The Medium skin complexion was more commonly seen in 60.4% of male participants and a Fair skin complexion was seen in 60.2% of female participants respectively. Conclusion: The prevalence of gingival tissue pigmentation was more found on the attached gingiva and interdental papilla (class II) and more severe in dark-skinned people and lesser in fair-skinned people. People having a fair skin complexion had a lower tooth shade value with the teeth appearing more darker in color whereas, people having a darker skin complexion had a higher tooth shade value with the teeth appearing more lighter in color. The respective male gender had a lower tooth shade value whereas females had a higher tooth shade value. The aging patients had a darker shade of teeth because of a lower tooth shade value respectively.","PeriodicalId":110010,"journal":{"name":"JBR Journal of Interdisciplinary Medicine and Dental Science","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116599228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are significantly higher proportion of signs and symptoms of Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) in those whom had both jaw and neck/shoulder muscles tenderness. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the existence and the relationship between Temporomandibular disorders and neck pain and the effect of neck treatment in improving the symptoms and signs of the disorder. Method: 39 patients were included in our study. All were examined and treated for Temporomandibular disorder as first line, then referred to rheumatologist for cervical spine assessment and neck treatment as second line of management. Result and Conclusion: about 88.2% of patients, presented complaining of Temporomandibular disorder symptoms had neck pain concomitantly and a significant improvement in neck pain was noticed when treating the Temporomandibular joint (P=0.001). The Temporomandibular joint symptoms were also significantly improved when neck is treated (P<0.001). Moreover and interestingly, 100% of those who did not report pain in the Temporomandibular joints, but presented only with clicking, had reported pain in the neck at presentation. Clicking in one or both Temporomandibular was reported in 56.7% of patients presented with pain in both neck and the temporomandibular joint .The study concluded that disorders of Temporomandibular Joint and neck are significantly related to each other. Pathology in one can influence the pathology in the other same as treatment of each of them shows improvement of the other as well. Although the result of this study is significant, but to provide evidence-based criteria for the clinician and for more understand cause and effect relationship, a more stratified, randomized control trail is needed to support involving cervical spine by physiotherapy.","PeriodicalId":110010,"journal":{"name":"JBR Journal of Interdisciplinary Medicine and Dental Science","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133473956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The processes of modeling and remodeling that occur following tooth extraction (loss) result in pronounced resorption of the various components of the alveolar ridge. The resorption of the buccal plate is more pronounced than that of palatal/lingual wall and hence the center of the ridge will move in the palatal/lingual direction. In the extreme case, the entire alveolar process may be lost following tooth loss. This paradigm has been challenged within the last decade by reducing the time between tooth extraction and implant placement. New protocols have been developed in which implants are placed at the time of extraction of the tooth, or soon after, before significant bone resorption occurs, known as immediate implants. Immediate implant placement is now accepted in clinical dentistry for reconstruction of partially or completely edentulous mandible or maxilla.","PeriodicalId":110010,"journal":{"name":"JBR Journal of Interdisciplinary Medicine and Dental Science","volume":"133 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124151786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
