Abstract

The basic objective of an aesthetic procedure is to satisfy the patient and the outcome of the treatment must meet the patient's expectation of enhancing their facial aesthetics and smile. The digital smile designing technique motivates and educates the patient about the end result of the treatment. Digital Smile Design (DSD) is a technological method that digitally designs and modifies the smile of patients, allowing them to visualise it ahead of time by generating and displaying a digital mock-up of their updated smile design before the physical treatment begins. The aim of this article is to discuss the uses, advantages and limitations of Digital smile Designing.
