C) Position of the tooth in the mouth
Once the analysis of the exo- and endo oral environment is completed, we
begin the analysis of the tooth in the mouth: evaluating 1) its position
in the transverse, vertical and antero-posterior direction. This crucial
step tells us if the position of the lateral incisor is correctly
positioned for a future bio-esthetic-functional reconstitution; 2) the
characteristics of the tooth: depending on the amount of remaining
dental tissue (quantity of enamel, dentine exposure, quality of pulpal
vitality) and its color, the therapeutic decision may vary (making a
crown instead of a veneer, prior lightening may be necessary etc).
Once this global analysis is done, a virtual project can be elaborated
in order to make a wax up of the future rehabilitation.
