frank spearPatients with inadequate tooth display simply show no teeth no matter how hard they smile. It's helpful to realize the different types of conditions that can result in inadequate tooth display. Dr. Frank Spear suggests that you can't just look at the smile; you have to look at the patient more completely than that.

The amount of tooth display a patient shows is a daily conversation in the dental office. The etiology and treatment options can be confusing, often leading to no treatment, inappropriate treatment or unpredictable treatment. In our new course, Issues of Tooth Display, Dr. Frank Spear reviews the etiology, diagnosis and treatment for inadequate tooth display and excessive tooth display by utilizing decision trees and providing case presentations.
