The Digital Smile Design (DSD) is a multi‐use conceptual tool that will strengthen diagnostic vision, improve communication and enhance Predictability throughout treatment which allows for careful analysis of the patient’s facial and dental characteristics along with any critical factors that may have been overlooked during clinical, photographic, or diagnostic cast‐based evaluation procedures. The drawing of reference lines and shapes over extra‐ and intraoral digital photographs in a predetermined sequence can widen diagnostic visualization and help the restorative team to evaluate the limitations and risk factors of a given case, including asymmetries, disharmonies and violations of esthetic principles.
