SUMMARY
The new DSDApp 3D is a straightforward and versatile
tool for performing digital planning in dental practice. As
it does not require any com plex softwa re program, the
clinician can easily use it by means of a mobile device,
reducing costs, minimizing the learning curve, and saving
time. For clinicians who wish to augment the smile
analysis, the app can also be used in com bination with
other digital technologies. In addition, esthetic planning
can be optimized by scanning the face and the mouth,
making a facial video with smile dynamics, designing the
3D smile in the app, print ing the resin templates, and
performing the clinical trial in the same appointment.
