Abstract

Due to tooth loss, a large number of patients require dental reconstruction. Prior to any surgical procedures
or prosthetic treatment, patients seek to visualize the aesthetic outcome of their future smile as early as possible. In
clinical practice, many dentists rely on verbal explanations of the anticipated post-treatment appearance of the teeth,
leaving the final image to the patient’s imagination. However, Digital Smile Design (DSD) technology enables a clear
and accurate visual representation of the expected final result. The key advantages of this technology include rapid
prototype generation, high manufacturing accuracy, and improved communication between the clinician and the patient.
The implementation of DSD simplifies clinical workflows, reduces data-processing time, and facilitates the achievement
of predictable and aesthetically pleasing restorative outcomes
