Recent Trends Of Esthetics In Pediatric Dentistry.

      Аннотация: A number of conditions can lead to aesthetically unacceptable dentitions like dental caries, discoloration, trauma, early loss of teeth, misalignment and any abnormality of shape and size. Today there are many solutions available for aesthetic problems in Pediatric Dentistry. But the biggest dilemma is choosing the best treatment modality for a particular patient and situation. Dental esthetics is an integral part of facial esthetics. With the growing awareness of the esthetic options available, there is a greater demand for solutions to unsightly problems. The principle goal of paediatric restorative dentistry is to restore the damaged teeth to its normal function as well as to retain its aesthetic. In the past, the only treatment option for pulpally involved primary teeth would have been to extract the teeth and replace them with prosthetic substitutes, until the permanent teeth erupted. However, the availability of natural crowns and roots would allow the use of biologic restorations to preserve the integrity of patient's natural dentition.
