Abstract
The application of a virtual dental patient with dynamic occlusion during esthetic restoration in a digital workflow is described. An intraoral scanner, a facial scanner, a jaw motion analyzer, and cone beam computed tomography were used to transfer patient data and construct the virtual dental patient. With the aid of the virtual dental patient, predictability and accuracy can increase throughout treatment, simplifying the clinical evaluation and prosthesis adjustment with improved esthetic outcomes.
