“…The use of a digital workflow to fabricate a surgical guide has been reported recently [10], where the surgical guide was designed based on a digital wax-up. In this report, the CBCT scan was used to locate the cementoenamel junction and the surgical guide was designed and printed accordingly; this technique eliminates the need for diagnostic waxing when restorative treatment is not indicated.…”

Excessive gingival display is a common clinical presentation that often requires surgical intervention. This report is for a patient for whom esthetic crown lengthening is indicated due to altered passive eruption. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan and an intraoral scan were used to design and print a single surgical guide which provided a reference for both gingivectomy and osteoectomy. A satisfactory outcome was obtained 6 months after surgery. The present technique provided a simplified method of generating a surgical guide with predictable results by relying on the existing tooth anatomy rather than diagnostic waxing. This technique is particularly useful when crowns or veneers are not indicated.

“…In the field of periodontology, the most common treatment performed with digital workflow is the crown lengthening procedure, in which virtual planning allows for creation of CAD-CAM surgical guides to orientate gingivectomy and osteoplasty procedures in the aesthetic region. In this context, periodontal surgical outcomes can be predicted after the assembly of the digital project in a CAD-CAM software to carry out the aesthetic planning 51 . Such digital planning may include a face-guided wax pattern, a CBCT scan and intraoral scans of both dental arches 51 .…”

The aforementioned digital workflow has been found to decrease the number of necessary clinical appointments when compared with the conventional methodology, while also improving treatment predictability.…”

Aim: To perform a scoped literature review on advantages of digital workflows in dentistry that could be widely adopted to address safety issues raised during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods: Recent studies on any advantages of digital dentistry – as compared to conventional methods – that could help addressing the new safety demands for dental treatments that emerged due to the current pandemic were included. PUBMED, Embase, and Web of Knowledge databases were searched for eligible articles published in the last five years. The guidelines of PRISMA statement were followed during data extraction and evaluation. Results: The present search strategy yielded 181 publications. After application of exclusion criteria, a total of 34 studies were finally considered eligible to be discussed. Among the most important advantages of digital dentistry that contribute to safety during the current pandemic are: reduced number of clinical appointments required, shorter chairside time, less invasive surgeries and safer procedures. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, the findings observed herein suggest that the use of digital workflows in dentistry could lead to increased safety and reduced transmission of COVID-19 during the current pandemic.
