Abstract

Abstract: PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinical effect of three-dimensional digital smile design (3D-DSD) combined with double positioning crown extension guide in aesthetic restoration of anterior teeth. METHODS: Twenty patients who needed aesthetic crown lengthening and full crown restoration of upper anterior teeth were selected and randomly divided into the experimental group and control group, with 10 cases in each group. The experimental group carried out 3D-DSD, after confirming the plan, 3D printed double positioning crown extension guides were used to guide aesthetic crown lengthening, and full crown was completed 3 months after operation. The control group used traditional aesthetic crown lengthening and full crown restoration. PES/WES evaluation was performed before operation, three months and six months after operation. Visual analogue scales(VAS) were used to evaluate patient satisfaction 6 and 7 months after surgery, and the repeatability evaluation of VAS was conducted. The correlation between PES/WES score and overall satisfaction was analyzed 6 months after operation. SPSS 23.0 software package was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: The PES/WES scores of the two groups of patients at 3 months and 6 months after operation were higher than those before operation(P<0.05). The two groups showed that the scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group for PES 3 months after operation, PES and WES 6 months after operation(P<0.05).Satisfaction survey results showed that the intra-group correlation coefficient of the two VAS results was 0.956(P<0.05),and crown length-to-width ratio, smile curve, personality characteristics, patient participation and overall satisfaction in the experimental group were better than those of the control group(P<0.05).The results of Speraman correlation analysis showed that PES and WES scores at 6 months after operation were positively correlated with overall satisfaction (r_s1=0.905, P<0.001; r_s2=0.460, P=0.041). CONCLUSIONS: 3D digital smile design combined with double positioning crown extension guide guides the anterior aesthetic crown lengthening and restoration treatment, which can improve the effect of pink and white aesthetics after treatment and patient satisfaction.
