“…When planning orthodontic therapy, in addition to the specialist assessment of malocclusion, it is necessary to take into account the subjective needs, that is, the esthetic perception of the patient. Technological progress through the application of new materials and methods has enabled significant advances in prosthetic rehabilitation, which occupies a significant place in cosmetic dentistry aimed at achieving patient satisfaction with their smile (48)(49)(50). One should have in mind that prosthetic treatments are financially challenged, so the socio-economic status of the patient might influence the final therapy choice.…”

Introduction: Perceptions of the esthetic appearance of teeth vary in different individuals and can affect satisfaction with the dental appearance, attitudes, and the need for appropriate dental treatment. The research aims to examine the factors influencing the satisfaction with the appearance of the dentition and the attitude toward treatments which improve dental esthetics among students of the faculty of dentistry in comparison to the attitudes of students of non-dental faculties.Methods: The research included a total of 358 students of the Faculty of Dentistry and Faculty of Architecture in Sarajevo who voluntarily filled out a questionnaire created for this research. The questionnaire contained questions related to satisfaction with the appearance of teeth in general, tooth color, tooth position, questions related to the previous, and future desired esthetic restorations and treatments.Results: Female subjects expressed statistically significantly greater dissatisfaction with the appearance of the dentition and did or plan to do treatments that could improve dental esthetics compared to male subjects. Students of the Faculty of Dentistry at final years were significantly more satisfied with the general appearance of teeth and tooth color compared to freshmen students of the Faculty of Dentistry and students of the Faculty of Architecture.Conclusion: Satisfaction with dental appearance is a subjective experience that is influenced by various factors, level, and type of education is among them.

“… During consultation with a patient for treatment of terminal dentition, assess the midline and the incisal edge position for esthetics, phonetics, and adequate function, based on established prosthodontic guidelines (Fig 1). 8–12 If additive changes are necessary, perform a direct mock‐up for the incisors with composite resin to facilitate the determination of incisal edge position, midline, and occlusal plane inclination. Once deemed sufficient, the next step can be carried out. Assess VDO and centric relation (CR) position and record the interocclusal distance.…”

“…Once deemed sufficient, the next step can be carried out. Assess VDO and centric relation (CR) position and record the interocclusal distance. If VDO is collapsed, then record the available interocclusal distance and how many millimeters will be necessary to restore the VDO based on established prosthodontic guidelines 8–12 . The VDO can be recorded using occlusal rims, leaf gauge, or anterior deprogrammer.…”

Treatment planning for the transition of patients from terminal dentition to full-arch implant rehabilitation poses challenges. Such challenges pertain to achieving the new orientation of the occlusal and esthetic plane as well as the change of vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO), while the fixed provisionalization using a digital workflow still tends to be considered complex and hard to perform. This article illustrates stepby-step the utilization of a digital workflow protocol in the treatment planning for rehabilitation of terminal dentition patients, simplifying the smile design and ensuring that fixed provisionalization serves both functional and esthetic requirements. This protocol includes facially driven, three-dimensional (3D) digital smile design and chairside mock-up restoration workflows that enable prosthetically driven assessment prior to implant treatment planning and 3D printing of surgical templates and prefabricated interim prostheses, which can predictably reduce chairside time and adjustments at the surgical and fixed provisionalization appointment.
