The presence of irregular incisal edges, a worn or abraded dentition, and imbalances in tooth morphology compromise a harmonious esthetic smile. A team approach is indicated after extensive orthodontic or prosthetic treatment to reach a final cosmetic result. Intentional changes in tooth form by recontouring provide an improved outcome. This article presents the components of a harmonious smile, evaluation, guidelines and a stepwise approach for the esthetic recontouring of anterior teeth. Two cases illustrate the effects that are achieved with this methodology.
不规则的切缘、磨损或磨耗的牙列以及牙齿形态的不均衡会破坏美观和谐的笑容。在进行广泛的正畸或修复治疗后，需要采用团队协作的方式来达成最终的美容效果。通过重塑外形有意改变牙齿形态可带来更好的效果。本文介绍了美观和谐笑容的构成要素、评估方法、指导原则以及前牙美容重塑的分步方法。两个病例说明了采用这种方法所取得的效果。
