    • Abstract:
      A technique for obtaining the esthetic integration and optimal emergence profile of tooth-supported and implant-supported restorations is described. Using a computer-aided design software program, data captured with an intraoral scanner were used to establish the anatomic landmarks for determining the maximum buccal volume to which a restoration can be extended. This technique could be applicable to different types of fixed-dental prostheses treatments. Advantages of this technique include the establishment of periodontal-prosthetic criteria and the improvement of clinical and laboratory communication since the same guidelines for evaluating restorative space in the buccolingual direction of tooth preparations are used to avoid overcontoured restorations.
