Summary:
Harmony of function, biology, and appearance is paramount when creating long-term results for patients. Fortunately, the efforts of many pioneers like Pankey, Dawson, and Lee1-3 have allowed contemporaries to achieve bioesthetic results more predictably. The clinical study presented in this article demonstrates that, in selected cases, combining minimally invasive laser therapy with detailed restorative design and technique can satisfy the bioesthetic functional requirements.

A Periodontal-Restorative Approach to Achieving an Esthetic Outcome in Worn Dentition
Esthetic dentistry demands more of clinicians than just simeple knowledge of tooth anatomy and the proper dimensions of teeth. Dentists must also know and understand the proper positions of the teeth in relation to the gingiva, the lips, and entire face. Esthetic measurements are not the only important factors. Other considerations need to include the patient's phonetics and function. A example of a situation where this knowledge and awareness is imperative is in the case of the worn dentition (eg, attrition, abrasion, etc). This article addresses a simple case of how a patients esthetics have been compromised as a result of erosion as well as parafunctional activity (toothbrush abrasion) and how the patient was eventually restored with an interdisciplinary approach between the restorative dentist and the periodontal surgeon.
