DEFINITION

Bioesthetics → the study or theory of the

beauty of living things in their natural forms
and functions

Robert.L.Lee
 Biology → study of living organisms and their
vital processes

 Esthetics → relates to beauty and a pleasing

appereance + function

Bioesthetics
 Bioesthetics Dentistry

• Concept → biologic occlusion

optimal health and beauty meet ideal form

and function
Difference Bioesthetic Dentistry from
General Dentistry
→ how those procedures are applied or used to
achieve of precision and function for the over all
health of the chewing system and body.
Require examination :
 mouth, lips, smile and face
 Function:
 Relationship anterior & posterior dentition
 Dentogingival complex
 TMJ
 Neuromuscular system
 • Gen dent → “problem” → plan to “correct”

• Bioest dent → “problem” → treat the “cause”

→ preventive solutions
Ex :
Gen.dent →
Tooth breaks → correction the form of a
restoration (filling or crown)
→ no thought the cause the tooth to break
in the first place
Bioest.dent →
Tooth breaks → “why did it breaks?” → treat
the cause → does not break again in the
future
 How Does A Bioesthetic Dentist
Determine the Cause ?
Healthy mouth → 3 characteristics →
3 principles of bioesthetics diagnosis and treatment

3 characteristics / principles :
1. Stable TMJ
2. Proprioceptive guidance of the anterior
teeth
3. Biologic form in the teeth
By designing the anterior restoration, we achieved a
remodeling of the lower lip to a more esthetic form
With bioesthetics, a more dynamic radiance of the
facial complex accurred.
 Definition
Esthetics → the science of beauty in nature and
arts.
Beauty → the substance of the imagination and
feeling, cannot be an exact science
 Esthetics and Its Relationship to
Function

→ Bioesthetics → natural unworn tooth forms

→ physiology of occlusion
 Esthetic Analysis
1. Communication dentist-patient-technician
2. Facial analysis
3. Dentolabial analysis
4. Phonetic analysis
5. Tooth analysis
6. Gingival analysis
 Communication

Listening and creating awareness for the most

suitable choice of therapy
 Facial Analysis

Prosthetic rehabilitation through analysis of

the facial references lines
 Dentolabial Analysis
• Analyzing :
- Labial movements
- Relationship between the teeth and
lips

→ ideal esthetic integration of the restoration

 Phonetic Analysis
Evaluating dentolabial relationship during
phonesis
→ determine the relationship between
• Arches
• Lengths of the teeth
• Position
 Tooth Analysis
• Optimizing :
- shape
- proportion anterior teeth
- arrangement

→ create esthetic and correct function

 Gingival Analysis
• Idealizing :
- gingival outline
- appearance

→ maintaining periodontal health
