“…In their work, Wu et al [21] used AR technology for the preoperative management of complex neck fractures, making doctor-patient communication simpler and more accurate. Touati et al provide patients with a tablet to be used as an AR mirror to get a preview of their cosmetic dentistry surgery [22]. Augmented reality has also been widely used in rehabilitation to make the exercises more intuitive and alleviate monotony [23].…”

“…Recently, a procedure using a three-dimensional facial scan of the patient was proposed, but this requires a lot of time and the ability to combine different software, which is not yet simple for all the prosthetic laboratories [8][9][10]. To overcome this problem, a solution using AR software was proposed, offering fast 3D conception and promising results [11,12]. However, this approach is currently limited to the design and conception of teeth in the anterior maxilla.…”

Purpose of Review The aim of this case report was to illustrate the clinical procedure integrating augmented reality (AR) for complex patient cases requiring full mouth rehabilitation. Recent Findings The introduction of AR technology to the fields of medicine and dentistry has led to numerous applications in education, surgery, and esthetics. Recently, a new AR software was introduced in esthetic dentistry which allows for real-time smile projection and thus improves communication with patients and the dental laboratory. Summary The presented case shows a patient with multiple missing teeth, diastemata, and an impaired masticatory and phonetic ability. After reconstruction of the posterior zone, the AR software was used for the conception of the esthetic zone, integrating the patient into the decision-making process. The result was an esthetic rehabilitation applying palatal and buccal veneers which corresponded to the chosen AR design. The patient appreciated the opportunity to pre-visualize a possible final outcome in an interactive way which increased his confidence in the chosen treatment. Further studies are needed to assess the precision and reproducibility of the described protocol.

“…8,12 A patient's opinion is imperative during any esthetic planning. 17,18 Therefore, tools that facilitate communication with the owner of the new smile are essential. The objective of the present study was to report a clinical case with a multidisciplinary approach to periodontal surgery and ceramic laminates in which the DSDapp and digital scanning were used for esthetic planning.…”

Objectives: Digital smile design (DSD) is useful in planning multidisciplinary esthetic treatments. However, DSD requires clinician training and skill to ensure its effective use. The Digital smile design application (DSDapp) was recently developed, to facilitate such planning. The objective of this study was to illustrate the use of the DSDapp for esthetic planning in a clinical case that included periodontal plastic surgery and ceramic laminate veneers. Clinical considerations: An intraoral digital scan was performed, and a photograph was obtained using an iPad (frontal facial full smile). The images were analyzed using the DSDapp. All reference lines were inserted, and dental shapes predetermined by the app were superimposed on the photographs. A digital diagnostic wax-up was performed considering the plan created in the DSDapp. After 3D printing the wax-up, a mock-up transferred the planning to the oral cavity. Following this, the patient was referred to a periodontist for the periodontal plastic surgery. After the healing period, the teeth were prepared for computer-aided design/computer-aided modeling lithium disilicate ceramic laminate veneers. Conclusions: DSDapp use accelerated the initial planning steps. Smile planning can be performed during the clinical session with the patient's active participation. In addition, the DSDapp facilitated better communication within the multidisciplinary team. Clinical significance: The DSDapp relies more on intuition than on skill and training to execute the treatment plan. The DSDapp provides immediate feedback to the patient, offering greater predictability and helps monitor the planning through all the clinical stages.
