Abstract
- Digital technologies offer the opportunity to integrate facial scans into the design of digital dentures and provide a beneficial 3D preview and simulation of the tooth arrangement for both treatment planning and communication. The presented technique describes a procedure of merging and aligning the intraoral scans of edentulous arches, the scans of the perioral area, and the scan of the nose made by using an intraoral scanner, as well as facial scans made by using a mobile phone. Thus, a digital patient can be obtained and used to optimize individual tooth arrangement during the design of the digital denture.<br /> (Copyright © 2019 Editorial Council for the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry.
