This patient is an adult male with advanced occlusal trauma caused by grinding and clenching combined with advanced dentine erosion.

The tooth loss has resulted in uneven wear of his dentition with a resultant aging, unattractive and self conscious smile.

The smile has been restored with full porcelain crowns with a brighter appearance. This patient is now wearing an occlusal splint every night when he sleeps to protect his new crowns from his grinding habit.

The new, more esthetic appearance of this patients teeth has resulted in a bigger more confident smile!

This patient presented as a 9 year old female having slipped on a monkey bar, shattering her upper central incisors. Splinters of enamel were removed from her lacerated lip.

The two central incisors were conservatively restored with direct bonded composite resin. The nerve (pulp) of both teeth are still being monitored closely for loss of vitality or pulpal changes.

This patient is a 32 year old male with rampant caries. He has admitted to poor oral hygiene and consumption of large volumes of carbonated drinks. There is also some use of recreational drugs.
One can note the typical pattern of caries at the cervical margin of the teeth extending back to the posterior molars.

As emergency treatment, all teeth have been thoroughly cleaned of plaque and calculus, symptomatic teeth have been treated with removal of peripheral caries.

A restoration is seen placed on the cervical of the molars that will help halt the caries destruction and keep the teeth on hold until some control has been achieved with the carious disease process.

This image shows the progress of the disease from the early demineralization process on the lower lateral incisor, to the brown staining on the canine, through to the totally broken down active stage of the disease on the lower first premolar.
