Dentogenics is the art, practice and technique of creating the illusion of natural teeth in artificial dentures and is based on the elementary factor influenced by sex, personality and age of the patient. Dentogenic concept is an adventure in the realm of cosmetic art. It was once written that we greet the world with our faces. The dentogenic concept is an esthetic philosophy. It considers gender, age and personality to restore the patient's dignity and unique individuality that has been missing in far too many prosthesis. There are two worlds: the world we can measure with line and rule, and the world that we feel with our hearts and imagination. The dynesthetic and dentogenic concept, when applied, provides a more natural, harmonious prosthesis, which not only is desired by patients, but also is a quality of care they deserve. Outstanding esthetics can be achieved by simple guidelines; using tooth molds specifically sculpted for males and females, arranging prosthetic teeth to correspond the sex, personality and age and sculpting the matrix (visible denture base) with more natural contours.
