_Introduction This article presents a clear example of the in- creasing importance of new technologies and, more specifically, digital technologies in dental prosthesisplanningandfabrication.Bypresenting a real case, this article aims to provide an overview of the benefits arising from the use of a new pro- tocol in this field. The entire process of total max- illary rehabilitation with a Toronto Bridge will be presented, giving attention to 3-D scanning tech- nologies, smile design software and CAD system. The article concludes that digital technologies are being increasingly implemented in the every- day work of both dentists and dental technicians because they provide more precise working pro- tocols. _Total maxillary rehabilitation with a Toronto Bridge New technologies allow conventional steps to be performed digitally. In this way, we can achieve a more efficient workflow, which saves time and costs. Thefirststepofthedigitaldentistryworkflowis evaluation of the clinical situation. In particular, for relevant rehabilitations, our protocol starts with patient image management. With just two photographs of the patient, a photograph of his or her smiling face and an intra-oral photograph, we caneasilycreateaclinical,functionalandaesthetic design of the smile using an innovative software program called Digital Smile System (DSS).
