A Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Managing Anterior Aesthetics: Crown Lengthening/Digital Smile Design (DSD)/Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM)

The restoration of anterior teeth has always been a significant challenge for both the dentist and the laboratory technician. Achieving the final result of an aesthetic prosthetic project requires a careful reflection phase upstream, involving close collaboration between the medical team, following several specific steps, and adhering to a precise chronology. This case report highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary treatment approach, including crown lengthening surgery with osteotomy, pre-visualization of the final result using Digital Smile Design software, and computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) ceramic crowns for optimal correction of smile aesthetics.

Abstract

The restoration of anterior teeth has always been a significant challenge for both the dentist and the laboratory technician. Achieving the final result of an aesthetic prosthetic project requires a careful reflection phase upstream, involving close collaboration between the medical team, following several specific steps, and adhering to a precise chronology. This case report highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary treatment approach, including crown lengthening surgery with osteotomy, pre-visualization of the final result using Digital Smile Design software, and computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) ceramic crowns for optimal correction of smile aesthetics.
