“…DSD software is a versatile tool that can aid in treatment, improving the team's understanding of esthetic issues, and increasing patient acceptance rates 11 . The DSDapp allows the definition of the reference lines directly in the application, the analysis of dentofacial features and proportions, and the relationship between teeth, lips, and gingival tissues.…”

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.

Intraoral scanners (IOSs) are devices used for capturing direct optical impressions in dentistry. IOS eliminates the errors that are encountered with the conventional impression making procedures. The last decade has seen an increasing number of optical IOS devices, and these are based on different technologies. The objective of this review article is to discuss intraoral scanners with regards to its technology, generation systems, scanning paths, necessity of a powdering medium, accuracy (Trueness and precision), intermaxillary relationship registration, commercially available IOS, clinical recommendations, advantages, disadvantages, indications and contraindications. Digital impressions with IOS is likely going to be a routine procedure in dentistry in the near future.
