Abstract

This article had the objective of reporting a case of esthetic rehabilitation with fractured anterior teeth due to trauma and an unpleasant smile due to discoloration. A digital smile design (DSD) was first virtually created and then followed by a diagnostic wax-up digitally followed by a gingival contouring procedure. Anterior guidance was developed after articulating the casts digitally followed by crown designing was done. All ceramic lithium disilicate crowns were fabricated and cemented using universal adhesive in combination with light-curing cement. Cementation was performed immediately following an occlusal adjustment. The patient returned for a follow-up appointment another 14 days after the luting process, in which a further occlusal adjustment was performed, and he reported complete satisfaction with the treatment. Aims and background: The purpose of this case is to enhance the esthetics of the patient and fulfill all the required theoretical evidence-based processes which we apply while rehabilitation an anterior esthetic smile designing case. It thoroughly explains the new era of digital dentistry which has an ease of work for both dentists and lab technicians.
