Clinical Assessment of the Effectiveness of Esthetic Restoration of Anterior Teeth

Abstract

Purpose: Clinical evaluation of the effectiveness of the aesthetic restoration of the anterior teeth. Materials and Methods: The study included 128 adult patients in need of aesthetic restoration of the anterior teeth. Digital information about the patient's teeth surrounding the soft tissues was captured by a digital camera and scanner. Aesthetic analysis and design were performed using 3shape software and demonstrated to patients. Through communication with patients, an optimized treatment plan was provided. After the aesthetic restoration, the design, color of the restoration, and patient satisfaction were evaluated. Aesthetic evaluation was performed according to the form of anterior aesthetic evaluation. Patient satisfaction scores were recorded on a questionnaire containing six items of aesthetic index and doctor-patient communication. Patients were interviewed and reviewed at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months, respectively, and the clinical effects of the restorations were assessed. Results: All 128 patients had satisfactory clinical results. Aesthetic defects of patients were effectively eliminated using a minimally invasive approach to the restoration protocol for the restoration of anterior teeth with a composite material using adhesive systems. All procedures met the requirements of preoperative digital design. Conclusions: Results data indicate that the functional and aesthetic restoration of anterior teeth defects can be restored without the removal of healthy tooth tissue Proper choice of indications, accurate design of the restoration, contributes to a satisfactory aesthetic restoration of the anterior teeth. For patients with anterior aesthetic defect, digital design plays an important role in optimizing the treatment plan and guiding the entire treatment process. This design can help clinicians achieve predictable, satisfactory esthetic results.
