Creating an Extraordinary Outcome With Ordinary Digital Planning

Compend Contin Educ Dent. 2024 Mar;45(3):142-146.

Abstract

A patient was dissatisfied with her previous extensive dental treatment and wanted a comfortable bite with less gingival display for a more attractive smile. This article describes a systematic approach that was used in diagnosis, planning, and treatment sequencing to effectively manage the esthetic, functional, and biomechanical concerns involved in the case while minimizing risks. Digital planning enhanced interdisciplinary communication making the outcome more efficient and predictable.
