“…The success of esthetic dental prostheses relies on adequate diagnoses and treatment planning procedures 1‐5 . The development of digital technologies such as facial and intraoral scanners and computer‐aided design (CAD) software programs have allowed the integration of the digitally‐acquired patient information and the obtainment of a patient's virtual representation 6‐10 …”

Objective To review the techniques and available 2D and 3D computer‐aided design (CAD) software programs to perform a diagnostic waxing for restorative procedures when cone beam computed tomography is not indicated. Overview An electronic review was performed in Medline, Embase, and Scopus search engines. A manual search was also conducted. The articles evaluating methods to obtain a 2D or 3D patient's representation for restorative dental procedures were included. A total of 33 articles were included for full text review. CAD programs provide the capability to integrate facial features from 2D photographs or 3D facial scans and facilitate facially driven digital diagnostic waxing procedures. Diagnostic and design tools varied among the programs, and multiple technique descriptions were found. However, the literature evaluating the accuracy of virtual patients and the perception variations between the 2D and 3D dimensional representations is limited. Conclusions The integration of digital technologies into treatment planning procedures introduce variation into the conventional interfaces; however, the concepts remain the same. Further studies are needed to evaluate the accuracy of the virtual representations and the influence of the type of dimensional representation on the esthetic perceptions among dental professionals. Clinical significance The 2D and 3D CAD software programs facilitate the integration of facial features into digital diagnostic waxing procedures; however, the esthetic perception of the patient's virtual representation might vary among the different systems.

“…The incorporation of facial digitizers in treatment planning procedures allows for 3D representation of the patient's face 12‐17 including the superimposition of 3D facial scans with intraoral scans 15‐17 . Moreover, digital scan techniques provide clinically suitable alternatives to conventional impression procedures in the manufacturing of tooth‐supported crowns and short fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) 18‐20 .…”

Objective: Digital tools such as facial and intraoral digitizers and additive manufacturing (AM) technologies assist restorative treatments. The objective of the present manuscript was to describe a workflow procedure for treatment planning and fabricating a fiber-reinforced composite fixed dental prosthesis (FDP) replacing an absent maxillary lateral incisor, using additively manufactured silicone indices to facilitate the clinical intervention. Clinical considerations: The elaboration of a direct fiber-reinforced composite restoration is a technique sensitive procedure which might be time-consuming for the clinician. The digital waxing helped to determine the exact position and size of the lingual wings and connectors of the fiber-reinforced FDP and to design a three-piece index. And the AM of the index helped to transfer the information to the patient's dentition accurately. Conclusions: The protocol minimizes the time of clinical intervention by facilitating the transference of the virtual diagnostic waxing teeth into the patient's mouth. The three-piece silicone index provides an individualized path of insertion of each index part while also providing a customized space and location of the lingual wings of the restoration. Clinical significance: The usage of AM silicone indices facilitates the clinical intervention by translating the size and position of the diagnostic wax-up teeth into the patient´s mouth, minimizing clinical procedure's time.
