Traditional, 2D and 3D Workflows: What Is Better for Aesthetic Rehabilitation of Superior Anterior Teeth?

This study aimed to compare conventional, digital 2D and 3D workflows as possible aesthetic rehabilitation processes for the maxillary anterior area using “open-source” software. For conventional workflow, a diagnostic wax-up was produced by dental technician. Keynote software (version 11.1) used perform analysis smile planning. Measurements were taken technician obtain wax-up. session, plaster model scanned guide mock-up digitally printed. Symmetry parameters assessed each mock-up, opinion of professionals laypeople about outcome three mockups an anonymous questionnaire. The received highest score, this found be most symmetrical, even though it had longest operating times. There statistically significant difference (p = 0.000) between scores given picture: experts in field gave lower compared with non-professionals. Digital planning represents technologically innovative procedure practice, making achieve excellent results, when open-source
