Dr Edgard Irany, consultant orthodontist at Al Zahra Hospital in UAE, has been awarded for the second consecutive year at the 2nd Aesthetic Dentistry Mena Awards 2010.

This year, dental professionals competed in 7 different categories and the Aesthetic Dentistry Mena Awards received 142 cases as entries from 14 countries from the Middle East and Africa region.

A sound documentation of Dr. Edgard’s case where he used the latest technology in orthodontics (mini-implants and CAD-CAM technology) to treat a very complex case in a span of 18 months, that would have otherwise needed surgery to correct, fetched him the award.

Dr Irany’s award winning case involved correcting a gummy smile and crowded teeth in a patient who avoided smiling because her teeth were crooked and protruded out of her mouth. Four temporary mini-implants were used to correct the problem therefore avoiding jaw surgery and giving the patient the smile she always dreamed of.

Dr Irany has been a visiting consultant in the UAE since 2006.-TradeArabia News Service
