Digital Treatment Planning: Limits and Possibilities
\Current Oral Health Reports
Abstract
Purpose of Review
This
study set out to demonstrate how the digital approach to prosthetic
dentistry is able to guarantee better opportunity both in terms of
diagnosis and planning and from the point of view of final prosthetic
restoration.
Recent Findings
In
recent years, the digital approach to prosthetic dentistry has
certainly improved the predictability of treatments, giving clinicians
and technicians the opportunity to cooperate in the best possible way. A
crucial point in prosthetic rehabilitation is the creation of a
treatment plan that can be generated through an analysis of facial
aesthetics and a consequent orientation of the arches in space, in order
to guarantee a restoration that combines aesthetics and function.
Summary
The
digital approach capable of combining facial scans, intra-oral scans,
laboratory scans and CBCT, as well as mandibular movements, is able to
guarantee superior predictability compared to the traditional approach
due to the possibility of generating a virtual patient accessible by all
the members of the rehabilitation team.
