Dental professionals have long been guided by mathematical principles when interpreting aesthetic and tooth proportions for their patients. While many acknowledge that such principles are merely launch points for a smile design or reconstructive procedure, their existence appears to indicate practitioners' desire for predictable, objective, and reproducible means of achieving success in aesthetic dentistry. This article introduces innovative aesthetic measurement gauges as a means of objectively quantifying tooth size discrepancies and enabling the clinician to perform aesthetic restorative dentistry with success and predictability.
长期以来,牙科专业人员在为患者解读美学和牙齿比例时一直遵循数学原理。虽然许多人承认这些原理仅仅是微笑设计或修复程序的起点,但它们的存在似乎表明从业者渴望通过可预测、客观和可重复的方法在美学牙科领域取得成功。本文介绍了创新的美学测量工具,作为一种客观量化牙齿大小差异的方法,使临床医生能够成功且可预测地进行美学修复牙科治疗。
