Interdisciplinary 3D digital treatment simulation before complex esthetic rehabilitation of orthodontic, orthognathic and prosthetic treatment: workflow establishment and primary evaluation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An interdisciplinary treatment simulation and smile design before a complex esthetic rehabilitation is important for clinicians' decision-making and patient motivation. Meanwhile, intervention and interaction are necessary for dental specialists in these complex rehabilitations. However, it is difficult to visualize an interdisciplinary treatment plan by using the conventional method, especially when orthognathic surgery is involved, thus hindering communication between dental specialists. This research aims to establish a 3D digital workflow of interdisciplinary treatment simulation to solve this problem.

Methods

An interdisciplinary 3D digital workflow of simulated treatment plan for complex esthetic rehabilitation was established. Eleven patients were enrolled
