Given the surging demand for cosmetic treatments, it's essential to establish clear guidelines and conventions defining the roles of the various healthcare professionals in various situations. There is, however, considerable discussion still and from a legal standpoint, the role of dentists within cosmetic medicine remains ambiguous. Under the Dutch Individual Healthcare Professions Act (Wet BIG), dentists are authorized to administer cosmetic injectables exclusively for dental purposes. However, based on the content of current dental training, one might argue that dentists' authorization could be extended to include facial injectable treatments in the entire face, in future. Presently, it is prudent for general practice dentists to abstain from cosmetic procedures with cosmetic injectables without a specific (aesthetic) dental objective.</p>","PeriodicalId":74255,"journal":{"name":"Nederlands tijdschrift voor tandheelkunde","volume":"130 12","pages":"489-494"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138489224","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}

Since modern dentistry largely relies upon adhesive techniques with hydrophobic materials, these require a clean and dry working area. One solution is to place the preparation margin supragingivally. This can be done in three ways: a local build-up using a direct composite restoration, a surgical clinical crown lengthening or an extrusion (orthodontic or surgical). Since in practice only a small part is usually located subgingivally, placing a direct composite restoration is often sufficient.
