Abstract:
Oral esthetic reconstruction has evolved into a comprehensive treatment integrating functional restoration with individualized esthetics, in which multidisciplinary collaboration has become essential to the success of complex cases. However, current multidisciplinary practice still suffers from inconsistent objectives, inadequate communication, and poor coordination among disciplines, all of which compromise treatment efficiency and outcomes. This article examines six key esthetic parameters in oral esthetic reconstruction and drawing on digital technologies, systematically elaborates the techniques for transferring these parameters across disciplines. Building on this foundation, it further proposes a digital collaborative workflow centered on the "begin with the end in mind" principle, using a unified virtual patient as the carrier and forming a closed loop through backward planning and rescanning verification. Through the accurate transfer of esthetic parameters and the standardized coordination of the workflow, the challenges of communication and coordination in multidisciplinary collaboration can be effectively addressed, thereby enhancing the predictability and precision of treatment. This article aims to provide a practical reference for clinical practice and to promote the standardized and precise development of oral esthetic reconstruction.
