Replacements for natural dentition must fulfil many criteria. An important aspect, especially for the patient, is aesthetic consideration. The shape and colour can be important factors in the aesthetic success of an anterior restoration. In order to allow for proper shape; the outline form, the spatial position of individual teeth and the surface characteristics must be considered. For the colour; translucency, value, chroma and hue must be expressed exactly. The dentist and technicians should catch up these very specific characteristics of the patient and convert them accurately to the restorations with the simplest way.

Intrinsic discoloration of permanent anterior teeth is a continuing esthetic problem. Tetracycline ingested during amelogenesis has long been recognized as predisposing factor in intrinsic staining. Methods for restoring original tooth color have included (1) complete PFM crown coverage (2) porcelain laminate veneers (3) direct bonding of composite resin, and (4) bleaching. In the case of tetracycline-stained upper anterior teeth, We authors, obtained the satisfactory results by means of gingivectomy, preliminary bleaching and porcelain laminate veneer restoration.

최근 교정치료가 진보함에 따라 치료대상이 성인에까지 폭넓게 적용되고 교정장치에도 심미성이 요구되어지고 있다. 이러한 요구에 부응하여 bracket과 attachment의 소형화, ceramic 또는 plastic을 사용한 투명도가 높은 장치가 개발되었다. 그러나, 순측 치면에서 bracket을 장착하는 치료에 있어서는 심미성에 한계가 있다. 이러한 점에서 lingual bracket은 설측 치면에 접착함으로써 성인교정에 있어서 심미적으로 우수하다고 할 수 있다. 이에 저자들은 lingual bracket을 이용한 교정치료에 있어서 새로운 기공과정과 임상과정을 확립하였기에 소개하고, 현재 많이 사용하고 있는 Ormco사와 Dr. Fujita의 lingual bracket을 이용하여 치료한 증례를 다음의 순서로 4회에 걸쳐서 보고하고자 한다.

Recently, many patients undergo anterior prosthetic treatment for esthetic reasons. In some patients complain about functional reasons such as inaccurate pronunciation and occlusal discomfort after the treatment. Anterior teeth are important esthetically but in the occlusal point of view, anterior guidance is the second most important factor in occlusion, next to centric relation. Failure to determine an appropriate anterior guidance might lead to posterior occlusal interference, which can highly affect the stability of the posterior teeth. Also, discomfort might occur if the customized interior guidance is not in harmony with the patient's envelope of function. The patient in this case complained of overall discomfort in the maxillary anterior area after prosthetic treatment. The expressed difficulty in pronunciation, unstable occlusion due to lack of stable holding contact and discomfort of the facial muscles. Maxillary anterior prostheses were refabricated through systematic diagnosis and treatment and thus, this case presents esthetical and functional satisfaction to both the patient and the dentist.

Currently, digital technology is being used in various fields of dental treatment. In particular, in the case of anterior esthetic restoration, the traditional restoration method cannot contain facial information and it is difficult for the patient to predict the treatment result. However, in the case of esthetic restoration through digital design, the visualization of the prosthesis design and the ease of reflecting patient feedback, and expecting the treatment result is available. In this case, the patient confirmed the results of restoration treatment using a digital method before treatment and obtained consent for treatment in an anterior tooth trauma patient. In addition, since the conventional digital smile design method uses only the patient's facial and smile information, the design was made on a two-dimensional plane, and its application was somewhat limited. However, in this case, a three-dimensional virtual patient was created and thus the designed restoration was viewed from various angles. Through this case, it was possible to obtain a high degree of satisfaction with the ease of communication with the patient and the technician during the esthetic restoration using the digital method, the simplicity of the procedure, and the treatment result.

To achieve an esthetic restoration, visualized information considering the facial aspect of patient is required. As for the reasons of esthetic failure, it could be explained by lack of communication and information such as horizontal, vertical and esthetic line. Therefore, it is important to deliver that the visualized information to dental technicians or other dentists for the success of esthetic treatment. This case report presents the process of visualizing esthetic information and designing the restoration using a digital diagnostic tool; Digital Smile Design.
