14 I I special _ digital smile design Inmanyaestheticclinicalcases,itisusefultoper- form Digital Dental Calibrated Transposition (DDCT), a transposition of the teeth necessary for the simu- lation of orthodontic movements, some of which apply to the situation prior to aesthetic treatment, prosthetic treatment, implants, etc. (Figs. 16a & b). The transposition must be calibrated, that is must move the teeth into the desired position and main- tain the measurements and anatomical dimensions. This makes it easier to calculate more predictably thefuturedentalcomposition,notonlyaesthetically but also functionally, as well as the relative spacing (mesialisation/distalisation) necessary for the inser- tion of the prosthetic implant. It gives important feedback for the implantologist, prosthetist and orthodontist, with all of whom it is necessary to communicate radiological findings (DICOM and Tac3D—the latter is compatible with ADSD). Only after having decided on the final positioning of the teeth can the smile designer pay greater attention to the improvement of the aesthetic aspects by further modifying the images with DDID. The same is true for the integration of the orthodontic simu- lation data from sophisticated applications such as ClinCheck (Align Technology), which can be imple- mentedinthevirtualplanningtowardsanintegrated aesthetic and prosthetic solution to an orthodontic problem (Figs. 17a–d)._ Editorialnote:Thisisthefirstofatwo-partarticlebasedon apaperpresentedbyDrValerioBinitothe15thInternational Congress of Aesthetic Medicine in Milan in October 2013 during the session titled “Aesthetic dental surgery of the lower third of the face”.
