STUDY AND ANALYSIS OF THE CLINICAL SITUATION

A) Exo-oral environment: the smile

The smile represents a real importance in everyone’s social interactions. It influences physical, social and intellectual attraction (15), hence the efforts of practitioners to ensure a harmonious smile. Several variables must be evaluated in a smile before reconstructing a maxillary anterior tooth (Table 2). The study of the smile can be carried out either dynamically (video) or statically (photography) (16).
