The wearing of dental "grills" in the mouths of children, adolescents, and adults is a problematic fad currently facing the dental community. A grill is a gold, platinum, or other metal and often jewel-encrusted encasement for the dentition. The grill can be easily placed over the existing teeth and is fabricated by simply obtaining an impression of an area of a person's mouth over which a grill is desired. The purpose of this case study was to report the oral and dental manifestations of a case in which a grill was worn by an uninformed adolescent consumer. A 16-year-old African American male was clinically evaluated on a routine recall appointment in this case. He had evidence of new rampant anterior decay in an oral cavity that had previously been caries-free on all earlier regular hygiene visits. A strong factor contributing to decoy was the purchase and regular wear of a grill from a neighborhood jewelry store. This case report was conducted to alert dental professionals, more specifically pediatric dentists, about the increased popularity of the grill and to the detrimental affects that it can have upon the unhygienic dentition.
在儿童、青少年和成年人中佩戴牙齿“烤架”是牙科界目前面临的一个有问题的时尚潮流。烤架是一种由黄金、铂金或其他金属制成，通常还镶嵌有珠宝的牙列包裹物。烤架可以很容易地放置在现有的牙齿上，制作方法是简单地获取一个人想要佩戴烤架的口腔区域的印模。本病例研究的目的是报告一例不知情的青少年消费者佩戴烤架的口腔和牙齿表现。在本病例中，一名16岁的非裔美国男性在常规复诊预约时接受了临床评估。他口腔中出现了新的猖獗的前牙龋齿，而在之前所有定期的口腔卫生检查中，他的口腔都是无龋的。导致龋齿的一个重要因素是从附近珠宝店购买并经常佩戴烤架。撰写本病例报告是为了提醒牙科专业人员，更具体地说是儿科牙医，注意烤架越来越受欢迎的情况，以及它对不卫生的牙列可能产生的有害影响。
