Abstract
In the esthetic restoration of anterior teeth, trial restorations are an efficient
way of communicating among patients, doctors, and dental laboratory technicians. Although
the development of digital technologies has made it popular to design digital diagnostic
waxing in a software program, problems such as the polymerization inhibition of silicone
materials and time-consuming trimming remain. The silicone mold based on a 3-dimensionally
printed resin cast still has to be transferred to the digital diagnostic waxing and
to the patient’s mouth to generate a trial restoration. A digital workflow is proposed
to fabricate a double-layer guide to reproduce the digital diagnostic waxing in the
patient’s mouth. This technique is suitable for esthetic restorations of anterior
teeth.
