Abstract :
The comprehensive management of peg-
shaped teeth demands a tailored multidisciplinary
approach, integrating orthodontics, prosthodontics, and
periodontics based on the clinical context. The pursuit of
an aesthetic outcome often involves leveraging the
diagnostic capabilities of a mock-up. This clinical case
study extensively explores the application of mock-up
techniques within aesthetic dental treatments, with a
particular focus on instances featuring peg-shaped lateral
incisors. The investigation delves into the seamless
integration of Digital Smile Design (DSD) for meticulous
treatment planning. The outlined step-by-step process
encompasses the initial analysis, creation of wax-ups, and
realization of intraoral mock-ups. Functioning as a
diagnostic tool, the mock-up plays a pivotal role by
consistently aligning the treatment trajectory with the
envisioned end result. It serves as a linchpin, offering
assurance for the treatment's longevity, functional
efficacy (facilitated by minimal invasive preparation), and
aesthetic success. The mock-up fosters a harmonized
agreement between the patient and the dental team even
before the commencement of the actual tooth
preparation. Throughout the discourse, various methods
for preparing the mock-up are explored, emphasizing the
versatility and adaptability of this diagnostic tool in the
context of aesthetic dental interventions.
