The dentition in the aesthetic area is crucial for functions such as chewing, pronunciation, and aesthetics. Traditional aesthetic restoration techniques are based on diagnostic wax-up to create diagnostic mock-ups or temporary restorations to present therapeutic outcomes, which requires the cooperation of dentists, technicians, and patients, and takes a considerable amount of time. With the development of digital technology, the "virtual patient" technology has emerged. With the aid of the static virtual patient technique, possible problems, such as discomfort during impression in traditional techniques, damage to diagnostic wax-up during transportation, and repeated modifications and visits when patients are dissatisfied with the design, have been avoided, and patient satisfaction is effectively improved. By attaching mandibular movement trajectory data and facial dynamic data, the morphology and position of the incisor edge and lingual and labial surfaces of the anterior teeth are more suitable for the patients. This reduces the time and difficulty of occlusal adjustment in the clinic, lowers the risks of occlusal interference, occlusal trauma, porcelain breaking, or restoration detachment, and improves the aesthetic and occlusal function of the restorations. Nowadays, the virtual patient technology requires a large number of devices with high costs, inconsistent accuracy, and file formats, high technical sensitivity, and sophisticated registration processes, etc. Its application is still subject to certain limitations. If the collection of data required for virtual patients can be completed on a single device, and the function of automatically registering multi-source data can be accomplished with artificial intelligence technology in the future, it will greatly popularize the technology for virtual patients.
