Abstract

Background: An anterior crossbite is a type of malocclusion in which one or more maxillary anterior teeth are positioned lingually to the mandibular anterior teeth, compromising aesthetics and reducing patient confidence. A thorough understanding of the patient's chief complaint is essential for developing an effective treatment plan. A diagnostic wax-up is recommended to improve predictability and facilitate the modification of maxillary and mandibular relationship ultimately enhancing aesthetic outcome. Purpose: To describe the procedure for creating a diagnostic wax-up of the maxillary anterior teeth in an anterior crossbite case for aesthetic purposes. Case analysis: Maxillary and mandibular working models were received, showing an anterior reverse bite malocclusion, with an overjet of -3 mm and an overbite of 2 mm. The dentist requested a diagnostic wax-up of the maxillary anterior teeth to achieve optimal aesthetic results. Result: The master model was received, marked, occluded, and mounted on an articulator. Wax was then applied and shaped to refine the anatomy of tooth 21, with the point and line angles adjusted toward the center to create a smaller appearance while carefully considering the height and convexity. Wax restorations were made covering 6 anterior teeth from maxillary left canine to maxillary right canines with the occlusal relationships adjusted to approximate a normal appearance. Conclusion: The diagnostic wax-up procedure involves preparing the working models, establishing the median line, mounting the models on an articulator, and sequentially waxing teeth numbers 11 and 21 first, followed by teeth 12 and 22, and finally teeth 13 and 23. The overjet is increased to achieve a more normal maxillomandibular occlusion, followed by careful evaluation.

Abstract

Challenge 1: The current problem Dental caries is one of the teeth and mouth diseases that is often found in school-age children which is very disturbing to the health of their teeth. The behavior of not maintaining dental hygiene can lead to pathological conditions in the oral cavity. These problems need special handling and preventive measures so that they don't experience toothaches. Challenge 2: What are the efforts for them to have healthy living practices The reading source explains that they only get education from health center personnel, and it is held within a year. Challenge 3: What are the little things that can help children free from dental caries? Conducting counseling for elementary students about the dangers of dental caries if left unchecked. Home care or preventive measures that children can take at home, such as brushing their teeth regularly and limiting eating cariogenic foods, these home care measures can be given in advance through the counseling process and monitoring is carried out every week. Challenge 4: Community groups that can be involved Public health centers, cadres or students who participate in community service activities can be involved in conducting outreach activities, preventive action to target groups Challenge 5: How can your breakthrough be embedded in an existing A program that has been implemented is carrying out activities counseling in schools, the program is already running but requires other programs, namely preventive action (scaling and fissure sealants), implementation of activities, namely making observations first, then students who are at risk of dental caries are carried out by fissure sealant action and a free scaling program for students with low economics. Challenge 6: News links and social media related to news regarding outreach activities have indeed been done a lot, but for preventive action it is still quite minimal, it is hoped that this program can improve dental health for school children, followed by monitoring to build children's habits to maintain their dental health.
