In addition, the analysisofthephonemes“/m/”and“/i/”(sometimes also the phoneme “/e/”) is of great importance for detecting and determining the position of the lips and the maxillary incisors relative to the age and sex of the subject being analysed. Furthermore, it is important to bear in mind the extent to which the central incisors are the visual focal point of the smile architecture. _Gingival analysis: Architecture, shape parallelism, symmetry,zenith,papillae,biotypeandcolour(Fig.10). In general, it can be stated that considering all of theseveryimportantvaluesandparametersindetail requires comprehensive planning and competence that cannot be contained in only a few lines. These have been scientifically established by a number of authors and further information can be found in books and scientific articles. _Dental digital image editing Digital image editing can be performed in various ways (Fig. 2) according to the requirements of the smile designer and with various software packages (bothfreewareandforpurchase)easilyobtainedfrom the Web.
