With the development of digital devices in recent years, it has become possible to motivate patients with smile design (2D, 3D) when giving explanations, and thus obtain their approval for treatment. Then, in the examination and diagnosis, a threedimensional diagnosis of the jaw and skeletal system is made, such as by a temporomandibular joint examination based on the centric relation obtained from a CBCT and MRI and a skeletal examination (occlusal plane, occlusal dimension) using the lateral cephalogram. In conjunction with the medical examination, dental-related digital devices such as a CBCT, intraoral scanner, surgical guide system, and facial 3D camera will be used to formulate a plan for facially driven implant treatment, which has been a long-cherished wish of clinicians. This restoration treatment has shifted from conventional “bone driven” to “restoration driven” and more advanced “facially driven” treatment, and is considered to be a treatment method with good prognosis and high patient satisfaction.
