Por qué importa

Este artículo presenta una visión de los flujos de trabajo digitales contemporáneos aplicados a casos complejos en el maxilar anterior, abarcando la colocación de implantes, alargamiento coronario estético y autotransplantes dentales. Se detalla cómo la integración de diagnóstico digital, planificación de tratamiento, comunicación con el paciente y ejecución guiada puede mejorar los resultados clínicos y estéticos. Los escenarios clínicos presentados subrayan la predictibilidad y personalización que las tecnologías digitales actuales ofrecen para alcanzar resultados controlados y satisfacer las expectativas del paciente, promoviendo la estabilidad a largo plazo en tratamientos en la zona estética.

Abstract original

Objectives To demonstrate how contemporary digitally driven workflow can enhance outcomes for complex esthetic dental cases, focusing on three distinct clinical scenarios involving implant placement, esthetic crown lengthening, and tooth autotransplantation (ATT). Overview Three multidisciplinary clinical cases demonstrate our contemporary digital workflows, integrating diagnosis, treatment planning, patient communication, and guided execution. The first case involves replacing two anterior central incisors using digital planning, guided surgery, prefabricated customized healing abutments, and a digitally driven restorative process. The second case showcases an esthetic crown‐lengthening procedure, where Multifunctional Anatomical Prototypes (MAPs) serve as both mock‐up and surgical guides, enhancing patient communication on expected outcomes and ensuring precise tissue management to prevent soft tissue rebound. The final case features a tooth ATT, where virtual surgical planning and 3D‐printed tooth replica and guides ensure predictability in the therapeutic outcome. These digitally enabled strategies underscore the predictability and customization achievable with contemporary dental technology. Conclusions Dental treatments in the esthetic zone require meticulous planning and precise execution to achieve controlled results that ensure patient satisfaction and long‐term stability. Contemporary Digital Dentistry enhances predictability, creating a pathway that leads to success.
