Aesthetic evaluation of profile incisor inclination
The objectives of this study were to evaluate (1) the impact of maxillary incisor inclination on the aesthetics of the profile view of a smile, (2) to determine the most aesthetic inclination in the profile view of a smile and correlate it with facial features, and (3) to determine if dentists, orthodontists, and laypeople appreciate differently incisor inclination in smile aesthetics.

Traitements interceptifs des dysmorphies dans la dimension verticale
Les dysmorphies qui s’expriment dans la dimension verticale sont le résultat de l’interférence de multiples facteurs étiologiques en période de croissance. Ceux-ci comprennent les croissances maxillaire et mandibulaire, les compensations dento- alvéolaires conséquentes ainsi que les facteurs fonctionnels environnementaux.
