MGDS log diary case presentation.
This case was presented as a log diary for the 1998 diet of the Diploma of Membership in General Dental Surgery (MGDS) and describes the history, examination, investigation, diagnosis and treatment planning for a 29-year-old male who complained about his unaesthetic anterior post-retained crowns and occasional pain from his upper right canine. Description of the treatment incorporates routine conservation, stabilisation of oral health, anterior space creation using a removable cobalt chromium Dahl appliance and the subsequent removal of four anterior teeth and their immediate replacement with an acrylic resin partial denture. Finally, a porcelain veneer on the upper left central incisor and a cobalt chromium partial denture were provided. Continuing care includes monitoring an early carious lesion and the position of two unerupted wisdom teeth, and regular review of oral hygiene measures.
