Fig. 1a Fig. 1b Introduction Functional therapy and a new smile with CEREC? That's always an interesting challenge for me. I only recently completed a very complex case thanks to the new CEREC Ortho software, selective restorative procedures, and the outstanding compliance of the patient. In my practice, I deal very frequently with aesthetic issues. I have been using the CEREC system since 2008 for these situations; I began with CEREC 3, after 2010 I worked with CEREC AC and Bluecam, and one year ago, I acquired the powder-free Omnicam in order to integrate the CEREC Ortho orthodontic software. Functional or orthodontic indications are not one of my specialties, but my requirements for the aesthetic treatment of my patients, which for me always included small corrections of incorrect posi- tions, made CEREC Ortho a logical step for me.

Further- more, I can also treat my patients more quickly and to their satisfaction, as the splints are manufactured in my own laboratory using the already converted models delivered by CA Digital. Case report I recently employed the full spectrum of these treatment options with a 30-year-old female patient who initially presented with tooth 26 broken off. I also diagnosed an end-to-end bite with severe loss of sub- stance in the front (Figs. 1a & b).
