Course Title:  The Communication & Workflow for the Personalized Smile Design

Presenter: Dr. Galip Gurel 

Course Date: September, 24, 2016 (Saturday)

Course Time: 8:45 AM – 11:15 AM EST

Course Description:

While some of the final esthetic results are creating the “wow” effect, some may fail to meet the patient’s expectations due to disharmony between the smile design and the patient’s personality. The patient may feel that the restored teeth do not really “belong” to him or her. Without the proper knowledge, the origin of this disharmony can be difficult to identify. For decades, dental clinicians have sought to harmonize the shapes of the teeth with the entire face based on parameters such as gender, personality, and age; however, truly successful results have been elusive. Most of all the smiles are being designed intuitively by the dentist or the ceramist. The aim of this lecture is to present a novel concept which involves the creation of a customized personal image expressing a person’s sense of identity which is based on the “visagism” concept that helps dental clinicians provide restorations that account not only for esthetics, but also for the psychosocial features of the created image, which affect patients’ emotions, sense of identity, behavior, and self-esteem.  To obtain such results we need an interdisciplinary team work. Every member of the team (including the specialists, lab technicians and the patient) should be aware of the treatment planning and the end result from the beginning . Having all the above done correctly, major component for the success remains “communication”. The key to the aesthetic excellence requires patient communication as well as the communication with the laboratory and the specialists from the beginning of the case till the end.  Digital tools, we use for maintaining our social & professional networks together with the increasing innovations on CAD/CAM technologies, 3D printing options and with the combination of all these digital tools ,it shouldn’t be a problem anymore whether  the lab, the speacialist etc. which you work with is close to your clinic or it is in another country, the digital communication makes everyone work as a synergistic team.  The protocol that will be presented in this lecture will emphasize the importance of the correct communication which will improve the esthetic diagnosis and the predictability of anterior aesthetic restorations.
