An Esthetic Minimal Invasive Rehabilitation Performed with a Fully Digital Workflow

An exploration in a successful prosthetic outcome through the opening of a patient’s vertical dimension and an "esthetic wax-up".

An Esthetic Minimal Invasive Rehabilitation Performed with a Fully Digital Workflow Clinical case by Dr. Carlo Massimo Saratti (cover)

Dr. Saratti demonstrates how he helped a 42-year-old patient that was unhappy with the aesthetics of his smile while also experiencing painful tooth sensitivity. He’ll show you the steps that led him to the decision to open the patient’s vertical dimension and how he used digital data capture and design to make the workflow straightforward and achieve a minimally invasive, esthetic outcome.

You’ll learn:

  • How Dr. Saratti planned and executed the opening of his patient’s vertical dimension 
  • How he digitally designed restorations for VDO augmentation 
  • How he guided the preparations of the crowns and validated the esthetic rehabilitation through an "esthetic wax-up"
