# A Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Managing Anterior Aesthetics: Crown Lengthening/Digital Smile Design (DSD)/Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM)

## TL;DR

This paper presents a multidisciplinary dental treatment approach combining surgery, digital design, and 3D manufacturing to improve smile aesthetics.

## Contribution

The study introduces a coordinated workflow integrating crown lengthening, Digital Smile Design, and CAD/CAM for anterior tooth restoration.

## Key findings

- Crown lengthening surgery combined with osteotomy improves tooth visibility for aesthetics.
- Digital Smile Design allows pre-visualization of the final aesthetic result.
- CAD/CAM ceramic crowns enable precise and optimal correction of smile aesthetics.

## Abstract

The restoration of anterior teeth has always been a significant challenge for both the dentist and the laboratory technician. Achieving the final result of an aesthetic prosthetic project requires a careful reflection phase upstream, involving close collaboration between the medical team, following several specific steps, and adhering to a precise chronology. This case report highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary treatment approach, including crown lengthening surgery with osteotomy, pre-visualization of the final result using Digital Smile Design software, and computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) ceramic crowns for optimal correction of smile aesthetics.
