Abstract

The Aesthetic Smile Designing in the Digital Dentistry Era

Dr. Muaiyed M. Buzayan

The rehabilitation treatment planning for most of the aesthetic cases is following very similar diagnosis and analysis phases to achieve good and satisfactory final result [1]. The major aim of these protocols is to clarify any aesthetic discrepancy as well as to guide following decisions. The conventional prosthodontics workflows for these restorations using diagnostic waxing, Mockup, clinical trial restorations, and provisional restorations, in addition to the smile analysis may help in providing adequate communication with both the patient and the dental laboratory technician. However, human errors and faults might occur during such manual procedures, leading to discrepancies in the planned restorations, what might also increase the time needed and costs. Now-a-days, the prosthodontics workflow is getting more and more digitalized, especially in the current digital dentistry era. The digital dentistry is improving and enhancing the aesthetic results with minimizing both the errors and the needed time [2,3].
