{"title":"Combined Orthodontic and Restorative Approach to Esthetic Treatment of Maxillary Peg Lateral Incisor in Adolescent Female Patient: Case Report.","authors":"Eugene H Bass","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>The presence of a peg lateral incisor is an example of an autosomal dominant genetic condition that is often associated with several other dental abnormalities, including tooth agenesis. It can occur either unilaterally or bilaterally. Individuals with peg lateral incisors often present with an associated midline diastema, as well as other anterior diastemas. The esthetic restoration of a peg lateral incisor can become a transformative event for an adolescent female patient. This article describes a combined orthodontic and restorative approach to the management of this condition, using a direct composite veneer without tooth reduction. This most conservative and minimally invasive treatment is especially appropriate in\u0000the adolescent patient. Final esthetic results are optimized by this combined interdisciplinary approach. By planning for the resultant space mesial and distal to the peg lateral incisor, composite resin can be veneered directly over the tooth to provide excellent esthetics. Other treatment options can be considered in adulthood, if necessary.</p>","PeriodicalId":23026,"journal":{"name":"The New York state dental journal","volume":"83 1","pages":"30-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36233987","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}

{"title":"Perspectives of New York State Dental Residency Directors on Licensure by Residency.","authors":"Justin E Hurlburt, Tobias E Rodriguez, Lynn Beck","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>In 2003, New York State enacted legislation that allowed graduating dentists to undertake a one-year postgraduate residency in place of a licensure exam. In 2007, it became mandated throughout the state. This was a paradigm shift for the dental community, and overall opinions varied widely on the topic. On one side, proponents of a board exam claim that the point of dental school is to produce competent practitioners and weed out those who would be dangerous to the practice of dentistry. Contrarily, proponents of residency see the need for further evaluation and assessment of practitioners in order to even understand their levels of competence. In the current residency model of licensure, it is up to attending dentists and residency directors to deem the dentists ready to practice. At this point, there is no standard way of assessing residents, nor are there any guidelines as to what should be used to assess prospective dentists. This puts a lot of responsibility on specific directors to decide what is appropriate in their own situation. The purpose of this survey was to collect and assess residency directors' perspectives on the current licensure model of a residency. The survey response rate was 57% of all residency directors in New York State. The results show how the biggest stakeholders view their role in licensure, what levels of assessment they use and what improvements they would choose to utilize if available.</p>","PeriodicalId":23026,"journal":{"name":"The New York state dental journal","volume":"82 6","pages":"26-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36738541","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}

Such a situation came to our attention in 2012 after two anterior implants placed in 2009 were found to be in unusable positions. A plan to remove the implants, regraft the area and-after a considerable waiting period-replace the implants in a more \"proper\" position was considered. Instead, by combining oral/maxillofacial surgical techniques developed for reconstruction of severe dentofacial deformities with newer clinical and laboratory techniques for crown fabrication, the problem was corrected for the patient with a minimum of lost time.
