N2 - Various types of digital dental technologies have been successfully implemented as a part of dental treatment to improve predictability and efficiency of dental procedures. Virtual smile design can be used to enhance predictability from an esthetic perspective, and the virtual articulator can be a useful tool to create a desired occlusal scheme. This case series describes a fully digital workflow that can predictably achieve desired esthetic and functional outcomes. The proposed protocol also includes other currently available digital technologies, such as intraoral scanning, computer-aided design, milling, and 3D printing. Three clinical cases are presented to describe the workflow in detail.
