A deep exploration of the path from centric relation to intercuspal position ( fully digital ). This lecture uncovers how anatomy guides every restorative decision, shaping precision, function, and long-term success.

The most common aesthetic desire among patients is to achieve a harmonious, natural, and beautiful smile. However, creating such a result requires more than improving the shape or color of the teeth: true success lies in careful planning and the balance between function and aesthetics.
This lecture presents a comprehensive, step-by-step workflow that guides the clinician through the entire smile design process – from initial analysis to final execution. We will discuss the principles of smile aesthetics, and the role of wax-ups and mock-ups in planning, patient communication, and outcome visualization. The lecture explores how harmony can be achieved between white and pink aesthetics, and how this can be integrated into a stable functional framework.
A long-lasting and truly aesthetic result is built upon the unity of well-understood function and precisely designed aesthetics. The presentation will outline the analytical steps and protocols that enable predictable and durable smile reconstructions.
This time, the focus will be on indirect restorations: beyond the planning phase, we will take a detailed look at the veneer workflow, emphasizing the coordination between laboratory and clinical procedures, as well as the fine details that ensure a natural, harmonious, and lasting smile.
Through a series of clinical cases, we will demonstrate that while every situation is unique, the key to success remains the same: a well-structured, consistent, and thoughtful workflow – the “Blueprint to Beauty”.
