Abstract:
By utilizing 3D image data from oral and facial scans, virtual patients can be created, allowing clinicians to accurately assess the occlusal plane and the aesthetic position and form of anterior teeth in relation to facial scan data. This integration enhances the predictability of aesthetic prosthetic treatments, reduces the potential for occlusal interferences and adjustments, and facilitates effective communication with patients during the diagnostic process. In this case report, a patient with skeletal Class III malocclusion had both oral and facial scans to generate a virtual patient during the diagnostic phase. Based on this virtual model, prostheses were designed and fabricated, resulting in an efficient and clinically satisfactory outcome both aesthetically and functionally.
