SET THE STAGE BEFORE YOU START
October 21 10:30 – 12:00
In today’s dentistry regardless of how complex a case is, the patients will not be happy if the final aesthetic outcome will not fit their expectations. Therefore it is imperative that outlines of the final smile design should be communicated with the patient (and the team) even before the treatment planning is decided and approved. For an aesthetically and functionally successful case this is mandatory and called the PRE-VISUALISATION. The dentist should never start any procedure without visualising the final result at the very beginning of the whole treatment.
Going back to basics, for previsualising the final smile design in the mouth, in 3D, the simplistic approach will be the application of the direct mock up in the mouth. This can also be done digitally with the software packages that are now available.
From there on the dentist keeping this final design in mind, should treatment plan the case in order to reach this final design, with the concept of “reverse engineering’.
The next step will be to have the final design that should be applied in to the patients mouth in 3D with all the final details including aesthetics, functional set up and phonetics. These are named the APT (Aesthetic Pre-evaluative Temporaries) whether it be an analog or digital wax up.
In veneer or crown and bridge cases this can be applied just before the preparation of the teeth, whereas in more complex cases like implant or orthodontic, combined with prosthodontic cases, this should be used as a treatment planning tool.
