Abstract

Abstract:

Diastema is a common aesthetic defect. Orthodontic treatments, although minimally invasive, are time-consuming and carry the risk of recurrence. Prosthodontic treatment is a good alternative treatment. With the development of digital technology, 2D and 3D digital design can be combined with intraoral and facial scanning images, as well as CBCT data for 3D reconstruction, to achieve 3D prediction of restoration outcomes, and make each step more accurate. This article reported a case of scattered diastema in the anterior teeth, and being restored with digital technology to reconstruct the smile aesthetics. With the digital guidance of planning, aesthetic outcome prediction and clinical procedure, ceramic veneers and crown restorations were completed. The appearance of the patient′s anterior teeth was improved and the post-restorative outcome was satisfying at 6-month follow-up.

Key words: Diastema, Digital technology, Aesthetics, dental, Prosthodontics, Dental veneers, ceramics
