Four-dimensional digital design to prediction of the real-time functional rehabilitation in the esthetic zone.

Recent developments in digital technology and materials have improved the accuracy and efficiency of tracking and recording mandibular motion, with various methods being described. The present article describes a digital workflow with complete and accurate 3-dimensional spatial trajectories of mandibular motion to direct the design of lingual restorations. The workflow allowed the lingual curvature of the restoration to conform with the distinctive trajectory of mandibular protrusion.
