This procedure is needed to evaluate the function, aesthetics, and other characteristics of proposed treatment using data from physical or digital diagnostic models. This type of evaluation is particularly useful for orthodontic, prosthetic, or surgical planning. For example, a patient undergoing implant placement may require an intraoral evaluation to assess the fit, function, and aesthetics of the proposed restoration.
The primary benefit of this procedure is its ability to simulate proposed treatment, enabling targeted interventions. By evaluating the function, aesthetics, and other characteristics of the proposed treatment, clinicians can ensure that the final outcome meets the patient’s expectations. This level of precision improves the likelihood of successful outcomes, particularly in cases of orthodontic or surgical planning. Additionally, this procedure can help monitor the progress of treatment over time, ensuring that the condition is adequately controlled.
Evaluating proposed treatments using diagnostic models is essential for achieving optimal outcomes in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Surgeons use these evaluations to assess the fit, function, and aesthetics of restorations or surgical interventions. This process ensures that the final result aligns with the patient’s expectations and supports long-term stability.
