Abstract:
Three-dimensional (3D) smile design has become a valuable tool for full-mouth rehabilitation, enabling precise treatment planning, enhanced patient communication, and improved case acceptance. It also increases the treatment predictability and reproducibility of the patient-approved design. Advances in in-house computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology and ceramic materials have further streamlined the process and reduced turnaround time while enabling clinicians to overcome limitations commonly associated with traditional pressable ceramics. This case report outlines the digital workflow for the esthetic and functional rehabilitation of a patient with severely worn dentition, utilizing in-house CAD/CAM technology to fabricate lithium-disilicate glass-ceramic restorations.
