The present article describes a digital workflow for planning an esthetic treatment by using a facial and intraoral scanner, the dental and open-source software design of a facially generated diagnostic waxing, and additive manufactured (AM) clear silicone indices. A virtual design was created to fabricate a unique 3-piece AM index composed of flexible, clear silicone at the labial and lingual aspects and a rigid clear custom tray. The 3-piece AM clear indexes provided advantages compared with conventional procedures, including accurate reproduction of the digital diagnostic waxing, control of index thickness, various insertion paths of the silicone indices, flexibility of the indices, and online storage of the designs.

本文介绍了一种数字工作流程，该工作流程用于通过使用面部和口腔内扫描仪计划美学治疗，面部生成的诊断打蜡的牙科和开源软件设计以及增材制造的（AM）透明有机硅指数。创建了一个虚拟设计，以制造独特的三件式AM索引，该索引由唇和舌侧的柔性，透明有机硅和刚性的透明定制托盘组成。3件式AM透明索引与常规程序相比具有优势，包括精确再现数字诊断打蜡，控制索引厚度，有机硅索引的各种插入路径，索引的灵活性以及设计的在线存储。
