“…To determine the correct proportion of the teeth, an acrylic resin device was fabricated on the upper central incisors for esthetic and functional evaluations, based on the patient’s interpupillary distance and described by Arcuri et al [ 8 ] This device is used to evaluate the following: the correct proportion of the dimensions of the central incisor to be rehabilitated, involving its height and width, as well as its ideal spatial positioning in the arch; to predict the need for surgical intervention to lengthen the clinical crown and to provide an effective communication between the dental surgeon and the dental laboratory technician, guiding the diagnostic wax-up from the anatomical references obtained. ( Fig.…”
HighlightsPMMA-based bone cement proved effective in esthetic smile rehabilitation.The technique is operator-sensitive.The thickness of the PMMA implant is also paramount.PMMA is non-toxic, biocompatible with human tissues.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
