Flujos digitales en beneficio de una atención integral y complementaria del paciente con necesidades estéticas y funcionales

Abstract

Introduction: The digital workflow is defined as a sequence of processes composed of computerized aids that involve: the acquisition of images, computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided machining (CAM) and post-production of the achieved result. Digital technology in Dentistry, although it is largely associated with CAD/CAM systems, Digital technology in Dentistry, although it is largely associated with CAD/CAM systems, it also involves various devices that today are of daily use in the dental office and that facilitate the virtualization of the patient. Objective: to conceptualize the treatment sequence based on diagnosis, planning, execution and maintenance and its complementation with other procedures, all digitally guided, with positive effects on a patient's oral rehabilitation. Clinical case: 59-year-old male patient, with incisal edge wear, chromatic, aesthetic and functional alterations (absence of anterior guidance) of the upper anterior tooth group from canine to canine, with upper right lateral crown fracture, insufficient crown-root ratio and filling endodontic defect. Guided extraction of piece 1.2 and implant placement were performed, then dental preparations were made from canine to upper canine with chamfer. Esthetic partial restorations in polychromatic feldspathic ceramics were digitally designed. The dental implant was restored with a lithium disilicate feldspathic ceramic milled abutment and a feldspathic ceramic crown was placed. Finally, a precision splint was made and a control was performed at 14 months.
