Abstract

This article reviews plastic surgery literature to help identify and manage the risk presented by patients interested in elective esthetic dentistry whose physiologic profile would compromise the success of the procedure. A questionnaire, designed to help identify patients with problematic physiologic profiles, is presented. In addition, risk management techniques adapted from the plastic surgery literature are reviewed.
