Integrating Facial Symmetry and Functional Balance in Wax-Up for Optimal Aesthetics

In this case report, the application of complete esthetic and function-centric diagnostic approach employing the wax up approach for anterior and full arch rehabilitation is described. The wax-up served as a crucial diagnostic tool, facilitating fine adjustments and helping to prevent or correct potential clinical issues that could emerge during the restoration process. Thus, when the bipupillary line, the bicommissural line and the facial midline were connected to each other the final restorations both provided esthetic balance and biological compatibility. Lithium disilicate proved to be a durable material and aesthetically pleasing, both of which will enhance the patient’s satisfaction. This case is a good example of the use of wax-up in complex dental rehabilitations and reinforces the understanding as to how effective this technique can be in providing consistency in treatment delivery and the aesthetic outcomes.

Abstract

In this case report, the application of complete esthetic and function-centric diagnostic approach employing the wax up approach for anterior and full arch rehabilitation is described. The wax-up served as a crucial diagnostic tool, facilitating fine adjustments and helping to prevent or correct potential clinical issues that could emerge during the restoration process. Thus, when the bipupillary line, the bicommissural line and the facial midline were connected to each other the final restorations both provided esthetic balance and biological compatibility. Lithium disilicate proved to be a durable material and aesthetically pleasing, both of which will enhance the patient’s satisfaction. This case is a good example of the use of wax-up in complex dental rehabilitations and reinforces the understanding as to how effective this technique can be in providing consistency in treatment delivery and the aesthetic outcomes.
