Introduction, Aim: The esthetic dentition is a substantial part contributing to the overall face esthetics. The shape of anterior teeth which are visible in a smile is an important aspect of the esthetic perception. The aim of the presented study was to determine the impact of the shape and size of particular anterior teeth on dental esthetics. Methods: A photograph of a young woman's mouth 9×13 cm (base) with an attractive smile and regular dentition was modified in the software Adobe Photoshop CS5. With this software different varieties of the same smile were produced, involving only a one-sided adjustment of shape and size of crowns...

Introduction: Macrophages, the cells of the innate immunity play the significant role in immune reactions. In the early stages of inflammatory processes they are the main source of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Cytokines are produced during the interaction of cells with antigen and play an important role in the activation and regulation of immune response. Aim and Method: Our study aimed at exploring their production in a cell line THP1 (monocyte-macrophage cell line of human origin), cultivated for five days with an addition of salts of titanium, mercury, chromium, cobalt, nickel and palladium, which are frequent components of dental...

Introduction: A review of newer drugs for topical or systemic administration useful in contemporary dentistry in the therapy of diseases of periodontal tissue, oral mucous membrane, and salivary glands available in Czech Republic was given in this article. Objectives: There were discussed mouthrinses containing chlorhexidine in lower concentrations and/or oxidation agents associated with reduced dark discoloration of teeth and lingual mucosa. FotoSan 630 represents a system for photodynamic antimicrobial therapy using monochromatic light produced by light-emitting diods for the photoinitiation of the toluidine blue O as a photosensitizer....
