Fig 40: During a rehabilitative treatment using removable dentures, it can be very useful to visualize the tooth test on a
functionalized wax-up. Thanks to digital esthetic analysis (DSD© [6]), it will be possible to simulate the position of the prosthetic
anterior teeth and communicate more esthetic data to the laboratory

Fig 41: Following the next phase of Fig 42: When a lesion on the mucous membrane raises a questionable diagnosis,
prosthetic treatment we move on to two photos (one with polarizing filters) should be forwarded to oral pathology to
the dental wax-up for try-in; it can be determine the status of the lesion. From this point, the patient will be sent for a
re-worked according to the esthetic biopsy and based on the results, a complete excision of the lesion
analysis by means of DSD] to reassess
the correct tooth position

Fig 43: The photo dated 2/10/2013 shows the result of a veneer on tooth 1.2, while at the follow-up on 22/12/2014 there is
evidence of cervical abrasions from incorrect brushing technique. The photo will serve to increase the patient’s compliance by
motivating him/her to correct his/her toothbrushing technique. This experience will also serve the clinician who will reiterate
the importance of photographic follow-up
