Abstract
We live in a era where high technology is a part of our daily lives and at a time where Patients are becoming more specific and demanding about how they would like their anterior teeth to be restored. Not only are they requesting an aesthetic solution to their dental problems, but also seeking procedures that require “no touching” or “minimally touching” of remaining tooth structures. As we all know beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There are smile design principles and rules but patients don't always want their smile design to be done by rules. Technology is improving at a fast rate, adapting this technology to our dental practices makes our lives easier and more enjoyable. In this lecture we will understand how to customise the smile in a smart way to make the patient and the dentist satisfied and happy.
