This clinical report aims to present the associated steps, from the diagnosis of the alterations diagnosis through to the final aesthetic result. A 37-years-old female patient presented as her main complaint the tooth form and colour discrepancies. Applying the digital smile design principle, the necessary measures for a harmonic smile correction could be accurately determined. The initial diagnosis led to a wax up of the master cast that was duplicated in acrylic resin directly in the mouth. This temporary restoration guided the periodontal surgery and the final pressed ceramic crown restoration. We conclude that the digital smile design concept seems to be a useful tool to achieve a satisfactory aesthetic result. 2 29 2016 28 34 TODENTJ-10-28 1 10.2174/crossmark_policy opendentistryjournal.com benthamopen.com true Peer Reviewed Single blind Checked with iThenticate 2014-12-31 2015-10-28 2015-11-15 2016-2-29 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/legalcode 10.2174/1874210601610010028 1553506413 https://opendentistryjournal.com/VOLUME/10/PAGE/28/ https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V10/TODENTJ-10-28/TODENTJ-10-28.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V10/TODENTJ-10-28/TODENTJ-10-28.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V10/TODENTJ-10-28/TODENTJ-10-28.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V10/TODENTJ-10-28/TODENTJ-10-28.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V10/TODENTJ-10-28/TODENTJ-10-28.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V10/TODENTJ-10-28/TODENTJ-10-28.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V10/TODENTJ-10-28/TODENTJ-10-28.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V10/TODENTJ-10-28/TODENTJ-10-28.xml J.
