Abstract:
In esthetic prosthetic treatment, color, shape, texture of teeth, and harmony with the facial appearance are considered very important. The virtual patient is formed by integrating data from intraoral and facial scans and mandibular movement records, making fabricating more aesthetic and functional prostheses possible in digital dentistry. In this case report, the patient with the tilted occlusal plane and facial asymmetry was restored with an anterior maxillary implant and a tooth-supported fixed prosthesis using the virtual patient. By using a virtual patient, it was possible to communicate between the dentist and patient or the dental technician during the design process, and we report this case because the results showed satisfactory aesthetic and functional results after treatment.
