|April 27, 2026
Summary
Maintaining dento-gingival harmony is crucial for a balanced smile. A holistic, multidisciplinary approach considering both teeth and gums is essential for achieving this delicate aesthetic goal.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Aesthetic Medicine
Background:
- Dento-gingival harmony is vital for smile aesthetics.
- The balance of a smile depends on the harmony of its individual components, teeth and gums.
- Literature highlights the fragility of dento-gingival harmony concerning both enamel and periodontal tissues.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the determinants of dento-gingival harmony.
- To explore sociocultural influences and iatrogenic risks affecting dento-gingival harmony.
- To emphasize a holistic approach to managing smile aesthetics.
Main Methods:
- A literature search was conducted in the PubMed database.
- Articles published after 2000 were selected.
- The search focused on sociocultural influence, determinants of dento-gingival harmony, and iatrogenic risks.
Main Results:
- Dento-gingival harmony is fragile, affecting both tooth enamel and periodontal tissue.
- Maturation and aging increase the risk of disrupting this harmony.
- Treatment becomes more delicate with age.
Conclusions:
- Achieving dento-gingival harmony requires a holistic and multidisciplinary approach.
- Diagnosis and prognosis must consider both teeth and gums.
- True harmony goes beyond superficial aesthetics, requiring a multifactorial balance.

The oral microbiome includes a complex ecosystem comprising over 700 microbial species, identified through genomic sequencing and culture-based analyses to date. This community includes a core microbiome, found universally among individuals, and a variable component influenced by environmental factors such as diet, lifestyle, and host genetics. Site-specific conditions, including oxygen gradients, pH levels, and nutrient availability, determine the spatial distribution of these microorganisms...

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

01:26Assessment of the Mouth
1.6K
A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.
