DSD PROTOCOLS
​
The Concept also brought some paradigm shifts, changing the way we do traditional
procedures as:
1. Dynamic Dento-Facial Analysis. The advantages of analysing the smile in
Motion for better smile design and treatment planning decisions and patient
communication.
2. Taking photos of videos (snap shots) instead of taking photos directly from the
patient.Taking lateral cephalogram,OPG,CBCT.
3. Simplified documentation with smart phones.
​
4. Digital Ruler. Simple tool to make measurements over photos utilising simple
softwares as PowerPoint and/or Keynote.
​
5. The 3 views of the facially guided Smile Frame. Visualising the Aesthetic
Potential and developing a 3D understanding of the case by creating a simple
2D smile frame over 3 photos in specific angles of the patient.
​
6. Online Asynchronous Communication protocol. Combining popular softwares
(slide presentation software + drop box/cloud sharing + whatsapp /messaging
app) to make the smile design, treatment planning and interdisciplinary
communication possible on a daily basis.
​
7. Buccal Wax-up concept. Linking the facially guided smile design to the
functional treatment plan. The dental brainstorm and negotiation between
Aesthetic, Function, Biology and Structure to generate the most simple and
minimally invasive facially guided treatment plan.
​
8. 2D to 3D link and the Digital Wax-up. The concept of a Digital Wax-up software
and the DSD Connect software to link 2D into 3D.
​
9. Complete Digital Workflow. Connecting the facially guided digital wax-up to 3D
ortho, Guided surgery and CAD/CAM softwares. 100% digitally designed
models, guides, appliances, components and restorations.
​
10. Interdisciplinary Dental Software Platform. One software for all specialties.
​
11. Natural looking anterior monolithic CAD/CAM restoration. Bringing natural
morphology and texture to CAD/CAM systems. Creating natural morphology and
texture without handmade wax-ups and/or layering.
​
12. Digital Quality Control Procedure after ortho, crown lengthening, direct
composites, wax-ups and indirect restorations.
​
13. Emotional Dentistry Approach. Increasing the perceived value and case
acceptance of the treatment through the motivational mock-up (test drive) and
treatment plan presentation strategy.
