formance of the etching procedure and appropriate use of adhesive materials. The MIPP technique is characterized into six different classifications, which can be divided into two main approaches: Confirmatory approach 1. The patient’s occlusion is left in maximum intercuspation: – MIPP 0 = Additional restorations with no preparation, mainly on enamel – MIPP 1 = Partial restorations with minimal tooth preparation, mainly on enamel 2. Reorganization approach Modification of the VDO and centric re- lation (CR): – MIPP 2A = Partial restorations with minimal tooth preparation, mainly on enamel in CR – MIPP 2B = Full-coverage veneers with minimal tooth preparation, mainly on enamel – MIPP 3A = One arch in CR with VDO alteration and tooth structure preserva- tion, mainly on enamel – MIPP 3B = Two arches in CR with VDO alteration and tooth structure preserva- tion, mainly on enamel The use of the MIPP technique in prosthet- ic restorations aids the clinician in achiev- ing excellent functional and esthetic re- sults. New digital tools for the treatment plan: GETApp (Guided Esthetic Treatment Ap- plication) The need of clinicians all over the world for a tool that supports them in formula- tion of the correct treatment plan, com- bined with the new technologies that sim- plify and accelerate many prosthetic procedures, led us to develop a multimedia application that assists the dentist in all of the phases of data collection and analysis. This app is designed to interact with other available technological tools (such as new-generation 3-D face scanners), thus facilitating an entirely digital workflow for prosthetic rehabilitations; it is also essen- tial to reach an enhanced communication between prosthodontist, implantologist, orthodontist and dental technician, as all of them will have access to the same in- formation reported on a PDF file. The GETApp (Guided Esthetic Treatment Application) was developed according to the systematic approach to data collection created by Dr. Mauro Fradeani. The app automatically analyzes all of the values and information on the patient collected by the clinician to determine the best possible treatment to be chosen. The user can mod- ify the suggested treatment plan at any time, by adapting the selected parameters according to his or her specific needs. The tool guides the dentist step-by- step through the complete decision- making process, aiding him or her in achieving optimal esthetic and functional results. The two main phases of data col- lection and processing offer detailed clin- ical explanations, which contribute to making GETApp a modern educational system for both simple and complex pros- thetic rehabilitations.
