_Abstract The digital smile design (DSD) concept is an inno- vative protocol through which clinicians are able to optimise communication with patients and labora- torytechniciansbyusingdigitalphotography,virtual analysis and design. In the following article, we present a clinical case in which DSD was utilised in combination with guided implant surgery software. The digital simulation performed using DSD aided the fabrication of an aesthetic wax-up and a per- sonalised radiographic template. The information obtainedfromCBCTscansofthepatientandthetem- platewasimportedintotheimplantsurgerysoftware for the planning of flapless guided immediate im- plant placement with full-arch immediate loading. _Introduction Digital photography and video recording were primarily introduced to the dental field for legal documentation of treatment.1 Later, the incorpo- ration of these resources into clinical practice pro- vided the opportunity to precisely evaluate static and dynamic information that could contribute to diagnosis, prognosis and treatment planning.
