Introduction Demand for aesthetic enhancement and facial-dental harmony has increased, significantly influencing the development of dental materials, instruments, and technology [1]. An aesthetically pleasing smile must also consider dental and gingival health, requiring proper treatment before aesthetic procedures. Digital Smile Design (DSD) protocol enables World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, 2025, 28(01), 1454-1474 1455 dentists to analyze facial structure, smile, teeth, gingiva, space, and dentofacial relationship using facial and intraoral photographs in occlusion from frontal and sagittal aspects, as well as dental impressions [2]. Treatment can involve collaboration across endodontics, restorative dentistry, periodontics, oral surgery, and prosthodontics. One aesthetic concern is the presence of supernumerary teeth, a dental anomaly that can occur in permanent dentition. The primary cause is the continued proliferation of the dental lamina, leading to the formation of a third tooth germ [3]. Supernumerary teeth are more commonly found in the maxilla [4] and occur unilaterally or bilaterally, with a 1.37 times higher risk in males than in females [5]. Additional teeth can compromise anterior dental aesthetics and impact a patient’s appearance. Additionally, anterior tooth fractures due to trauma and unaesthetic maxillary crown morphology can affect both appearance and psychosocial well-being. Maxillary anterior crown morphology plays a crucial role in smile aesthetic. Central incisors are typically square, tapering, or ovoid, with a greater mesiodistal width than cervicoincisal height, whereas lateral incisors have a smaller mesiodistal width and a more rounded distoincisal angle. Maxillary anterior teeth are considered aesthetic based on mesiodistal and cervicoincisal width measurements. The ideal and proportional ratio for maxillary central incisors is 75-80% [2]. The ideal percentage for maxillary anterior teeth is determined by comparing the mesiodistal width of each tooth to the total width of the anterior segment (from the distal edge of the right canine to the distal edge of the left canine): central incisors 25%, lateral incisors 15%, and canines 10%. Teeth with pulp necrosis require root canal treatment to eliminate bacteria and infected necrotic tissue. This treatment consists of biomechanical preparation, sterilization, and root canal obturation. The primary goal is to clean the infected pulp cavity, remove toxic debris, and shape the root canal to accommodate a filling material that completely seals the canal. Endodontic therapy must also ensure adequate canal sealing to prevent fluid accumulation and avoid creating a favorable environment for microorganism bacterial infiltration growth or from the bloodstream [6]. Complex aesthetic treatment is required to restore dental function and achieve optimal aesthetic outcomes. Advances in treatment techniques and restorative materials have led to the development of aesthetic post materials, such as zirconia posts, carbon fiber posts, glass fiber posts (translucent quartz fiber), and woven fiber posts (polyethylene fibers). Restorative materials like lithium disilicate and zirconia offer biocompatibility, mechanical and aesthetic reliability, minimal invasiveness, and precise marginal fit with the aid of digital dentistry. Therefore, maxillary dental treatment must consider aesthetic factors to enhance patient confidence and emotional well-being. Digital Smile Design (DSD) can be used to plan a smile design by considering masticatory system harmony, enhancing aesthetic visualization and diagnosis, and improving communication between patients, dentists, and dental laboratories, ultimately increasing treatment success [7,8]. This article presents a case report on complex aesthetic treatment of maxillary anterior teeth with crown fractures, a supernumerary tooth, and unesthetic crown morphology, utilizing Digital Smile Design to optimize dental function and aesthetic. 2. Case A 23-year-old male presented with the complaint of broken upper front teeth due to a traffic accident 1 year ago (Figure 1). The teeth were painful for a few days after the accident and have not been treated previously. The patient wants treatment for his teeth because he feels insecure about their condition. He reports no history of systemic diseases. On intraoral examination, teeth 11 and 21 were fractured, overbite 2mm, overjet 2 mm, and the relationship of posterior teeth was cusp to fossa (Figure 2). Saliva tests, including hydration test: 20 seconds (green), viscosity: watery (green), pH 7.2 (green), quantity: 5.5 ml (green), and buffer capacity: 10 (green), indicated that the saliva test was normal. On objective examination, a supernumerary tooth was found in the lateral incisor area, referred to as tooth 22(2), with the upper jaw midline shifted 4 mm to the right. Teeth 11, 21, and 22(2) showed Ellis Class IV fractures. The crown of tooth 12 appeared pointed in the incisal area, and the crown of tooth 22(1) was more rounded at the mesio-incisal side compared to the disto-incisal side, making it unaesthetic (Figure 3 and 4). Vitality tests showed that teeth 11, 21, and 22(2) were non vital, while teeth 12 and 22(1) were vital. Percussion tests on teeth 11, 21, and 22(2) were negative, bite test was negative, and the gingiva around the teeth appeared normal. Radiographic examination of teeth 11, 21, and 22(2) showed crown fractures extending to the pulp chamber and a diffuse radiolucent image in the apical area (Figure 6). Based on intraoral examination, vitality tests, and radiographs, the diagnosis for teeth 11, 21, and 22(2) is pulp necrosis accompanied by asymptomatic apical periodontitis. The diagnosis for teeth 12 and 22(1) is normal pulp.

Case Management At the first visit, a thorough Dental Health Education, subjective, objective, and radiographic examinations were carried out. Information regarding the treatment plan was provided to the patient, and consent to proceed with the treatment World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, 2025, 28(01), 1454-1474 1458 was obtained through informed to consent and informed consent. Impressions for study models were taken using irreversible hydrocolloid. Macroesthetic analysis consists of facial analysis and smile analysis. Facial analysis from the frontal plane revealed an oval face shape. The vertical and horizontal facial proportions indicated facial symmetry. The median facial line and midline were deviated by 4mm. Facial analysis in the horizontal direction along the horizontal line consists of the trichion, glabella, subnasale, menton, commissural line, and interpupillary line. The interpupillary horizontal line is parallel to the bizygomatic line and the commissural line. Frontal directional facial analysis with a vertical direction consists of the midline and the line from the eye pupil to the corner of the mouth (right and left) (Figure 7). Sagittal directional facial analysis consists of the Steiner line and the Ricketts line. The Steiner line is formed by combining the line from the glabella to the subnasale and the line from the subnasale to the menton, resulting in an angle of 180 degrees. The Ricketts line extends from the pronasale to the pogonion, with the upper lip positioned 2 mm behind the line and the lower lip aligned at 0 mm, the interpretation result obtained is normal. The obtained facial profile angle is 167 degrees.

Normally, the interdental gingival area is visible by 1-2 mm when smiling, and the incisal plane of the anterior teeth touches the lower lip (Figure 9). Based on the DSD analysis, crown lengthening treatment is not required. Figure 10 Clinical appearance of the patient's lips during an active smile Microesthetic analysis consists of dental analysis, gingival analysis, space analysis, dentofacial analysis, and the golden proportion. In the dental analysis, it was found that the central incisors' ratio for tooth 12 is 57%, for teeth 11 and 21 is 75%, for tooth 22(1) is 61%, and for tooth 22(2) is 57% (Figure 5a). It was also noted that the axis of teeth 11, 12, 22(1), and 22(2) is tilted toward distal, while tooth 21 is tilted toward mesial, indicating that the tooth axis is not ideal for teeth 11, 12, 21, 22(1), and 22(2). The Interproximal Contact Area (ICA) between teeth 13 and 12 is 30%. Meanwhile, the ICA between tooth 12 and tooth 11, between tooth 11 and tooth 21, between tooth 21 and tooth 22 (1), and between tooth 22 (1) and tooth 22 (2) cannot be determined due to the presence of a fractured crown. The Interproximal Contact Point (ICP) was found to be not ideal and cannot be determined due to the presence of a fractured tooth crown and abnormalities in the tooth crown shape (Figure 9). A fracture was found in teeth 11, 21, and 22(2). Flossing contact points were present only in tooth 12 and 13. There was an anatomical crown anomaly in teeth 12 and 22(1), and the W/H ratio was not obtained for the fractured teeth. World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, 2025, 28(01), 1454-1474 1460 Figure 11 Aesthetic criteria that need to be corrected include central incisor width/height ratio, mesial inclination, incisal embrasure (Interproximal Contact Area (ICA) and Interproximal Contact Point (ICP)) Based on the gingival analysis, the color of the gingiva is coral pink (normal), the gingival texture is stippled (normal), the gingival shape is characterized by rounded interdental papilla in the anterior region (normal), and the gingival consistency is soft in the anterior region (normal). The gingival zenith position of teeth 11 and 12 is not ideal. The gingival zenith position of teeth 12, 22(1), and 22(2) is not ideal. Meanwhile, the gingival zenith position of teeth 13 and 23 is not ideal (Figure 10). The gingival margin of tooth 11 appears more coronal than that of tooth 21, the gingival margin of tooth 12 appears more coronal than that of teeth 22(1) and 22(2), and the gingival margin of tooth 13 appears more apical than that of tooth 23, indicating that the gingival margin position is not aligned between the left and right maxillary anterior teeth (Figure 11). These findings do not indicate the need for crown lengthening treatment (Figure 10). Figure 12 Position of the gingival zenith, gingival symmetry, and gum line margin height of the upper anterior teeth Based on the space analysis, the intercanine distance is 44 mm, the distance from the caninus to the midline (right) is 19 mm, and the distance from the caninus to the midline (left) is 25 mm. The upper anterior teeth midline is shifted distally relative to the facial midline. World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, 2025, 28(01), 1454-1474 1461 Figure 13 Analysis of the upper anterior dental space. The red line represents the mesio-distal width of the teeth, and the yellow line represents the intercanine distance From the dentofacial analysis, the bizygomatic width was measured at 128 mm. The ideal width of teeth 11 and 21 is 1/16 of the bizygomatic distance, determined through the imaginary midfacial line. The ideal mesial distal width of teeth 11 and 21 is 8 mm, calculated from 1/16 of the zygomatic prominence to the imaginary midline of the face. The trichion-menton distance is 169 mm, and the ideal height of teeth 11 and 21 is 1/18 of the trichion-menton distance. The ideal height for teeth 11 and 21 is 10,5 mm, calculated from 1/18 of the distance between the trichion and menton (Figure 12). The measurement results for the ideal width and height of the teeth, based on the face, indicate that the tooth size is proportionate. The obtained dentofacial analysis result is 75%. Figure 14 Dentofacial analysis from frontal view of the face, the white line indicates the trichion-menton distance, and the blue line indicates the inter-zygomatic prominence distance The treatment plan for teeth 12, 11, 21, 22(1), and 22(2) will follow the golden proportion. Golden proportion yang ideal adalah C:I2:I1=0,617:1:1,618. Based on Digital Smile Design, the golden proportion width of tooth I1 is 8 mm, the golden proportion width of tooth I2 is 5 mm, and the golden proportion width of tooth C is 3 mm. (Figure 13). A wax up model was made and discussed with the patient to obtain their consent to proceed with the treatment. A 3D printed white resin model of the digital wax-up was created (Figure 14).

Tooth 12 was restored with a direct veneer, and tooth 22(1) was restored with an indirect veneer using lithium disilicate material. During the second visit, Saliva tests and shade taking were done, with the cervical color as A3 and incisal color as A2 (using the Ivoclar shade guide). Treatment was divided into two stages: endodontic treatment and restorative treatment. Endodontic treatment was performed on teeth 11, 21, and 22(2) with fiber post insertion and lithium disilicate crown, direct veneer for tooth 12, and indirect veneer for tooth 22(1). The procedure started with isolation using a rubber dam, followed by access opening using an endo access bur for teeth 11, 21, and 22(2) (Figure 6). After access opening, glide path was done using a K-File #10 (Figure 7) and working length measured with an apex locator (11: 21mm; 21: 19mm; 22(2): 19mm) (Figure 8). Apical gauging was done with a tug back on K-File #25 (Figure 9). The root canal preparation was done using a rotary file Protaper Next up to X2 (25/06) (Figure 10) and irrigation with World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, 2025, 28(01), 1454-1474 1469 Figure 35 (a) Etching and (b) bonding application on teeth 11, 21, 22(1), and 22(2) Figure 36 (a) Insertion of crowns and veneers on teeth 11, 21, 22(1), and 22(2).

Discussion Demand for facial and dental aesthetics is increasing, as visual appearance plays a crucial role in psychological selfconfidence. Aesthetic imperfections in the maxillary anterior teeth, such as supernumerary teeth, crown fractures, and disproportionate crown shapes, require correction to achieve a more harmonious appearance while restoring optimal function in chewing, breathing, speaking, and swallowing [9,1]. The microesthetic analysis revealed several discrepancies in dental, gingival, space, and dentofacial parameters. Dental analysis showed non-ideal tooth axis inclinations and fractured crowns in teeth 11, 21, and 22(2), with abnormal crown shapes and ICA/ICP values being undeterminable in several regions. Gingival analysis indicated generally normal color, texture, and consistency, but with misaligned gingival zeniths and margins in the anterior maxillary teeth, though crown lengthening was deemed unnecessary. Space analysis showed asymmetry in the intercanine distances (44 mm total; 19 mm right and 25 mm left), with a midline deviation. Dentofacial analysis, using the bizygomatic width (128 mm) and trichion-menton distance (169 mm), suggested that the dimensions of teeth 11 and 21 (8 mm width, 10.5 mm height) were proportionate to facial measurements, yielding a 75% harmony with facial esthetics. In this case, the Digital Smile Design (DSD) concept was used to enhance understanding and communication between the patient, dentist, and dental laboratory regarding the aesthetic visualization of the treatment plan [8]. Digital Smile Design is a digital approach that projects a new smile design through simulation and previsualization of the proposed treatment outcome. This digital design involves patient participation in their own smile design process, allowing customization based on individual needs and preferences while aligning with the patient’s morpho-psychological [10]. Teeth number 11, 21, and 22(2), classified as non-vital with Ellis Class IV classification, require endodontic treatment to prevent infection. Root canal treatment is an endodontic procedure that removes infected and inflamed pulp tissue. This procedure aims to create an environment that support pulp healing and prevents periapical complications [11]. World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, 2025, 28(01), 1454-1474 1472 Root canal treatment consists of three main principles: root canal preparation, sterilization, and obturation. Root canal preparation for these three teeth was performed using the crown-down pressureless technique. This technique was chosen due to its variable taper width, which enhances root canal cleaning and sterilization. Additionally, it ensures consistent shaping of the root canal [12,13]. Root canal obturation was performed using the single cone technique, selected for its convenience for both the patient and the dentist while also saving time [14]. This technique applies low pressure to the root canal while maintaining obturation quality, minimizing apical microleakage, and preventing bacterial penetration [15]. Gutta-percha was trimmed to two-thirds of the root canal length or at the coronal level, leaving 4-5 mm of gutta-percha at the apex tip to maintain root canal integrity, ensure stability, and prevent microleakage [12]. Root canal-treated teeth require a post and core material to achieve optimal retention for crown restoration. Endodontic posts help retain the remaining tooth structure with the core restoration. They are recommended when less than half of the coronal tooth structure remains [16]. In teeth number 11, 21, and 22(2), fiber posts were chosen for their dentin-like elastic modulus, reducing root fracture risk and stress on canal walls [17]. The ferrule in the fiber post enhances restoration strength by withstanding occlusal forces, maintaining the cement seal, and minimizing stress. Fiber posts also provide good aesthetics, biocompatibility, and radiographic visibility [18]. Creating a mock-up before the final restoration helps simulate tooth anatomy and serves as a guide using a silicone index. For tooth 22(1), a depth cut was made on the mock up using a depth cutting bur to create orientation grooves and prevent excessive preparation. An esthetic smile requires a harmonious relationship between the lips, teeth, and gingiva. In this case, microesthetic corrections included adjustments to the gingival zenith, Interproximal Contact Area (ICA) and Interproximal Contact Point (ICP), embrasures, tooth inclination and the crown height-to-width ratio. Modifying the gingival zenith was essential to optimize tooth proportions and ensure a predictable esthetic outcome [19]. In this case, ICA and ICP were corrected due to fractured teeth and abnormal crown anatomy. ICA adjustment enhanced tooth proportions and eliminated black triangles, while ICP was repositioned from its apical and off-midline location. Incisal embrasures were also refined to follow the ideal gradual widening from central incisors to canines. Tooth inclination was corrected to achieve the ideal progressive mesial angulation from central incisors to canines [20]. Furthermore, the crown heightto-width ratio was corrected to the ideal proportion of 75–80% to enhance esthetic harmony [2]. Color selection is a crucial aspect in achieving optimal aesthetic quality. Proper color harmonization contributes to the creation of a visually pleasing appearance for patients [21]. In this case, tooth 12 was restored using shade A2 for the internal layering and A1 on the labial surface, matching the original dentin and enamel shades. The crown shade for teeth 11 and 21 was determined using shade A3 in the cervical area and A2 in the incisal area. Tooth regions exhibit slight variations in color and opacity. The cervical area appears darker and less translucent due to thicker dentin and thinner enamel, while the incisal area looks brighter and more translucent due to the opposite structure [22]. Crown is an extracoronal restoration that is cemented and covers the outer surface of the clinical crown to protect the tooth structure while maintaining shape and aesthetic [23]. In contrast, a veneer is a tooth-colored material applied to restore dental abnormalities such as diastema and discoloration [24]. In this case, veneers were chosen for teeth 12 and 22(1) due to their minimally invasive nature and ability to enhance the patient's smile aesthetics while preserving the natural tooth structure [25]. The direct veneer technique was applied directly to the prepared tooth 12 in a single visit. Meanwhile, an indirect veneer was placed on tooth 22(1). The indirect technique allows for better control of veneer color and contour, and reduces chair time for the patient, as the veneer is fabricated in a laboratory. In this case, lithium disilicate was used for crown restorations on teeth 11, 21, and 22(2), as well as for the indirect veneer on tooth 22(1). Lithium disilicate was chosen due to its translucency, which enhances the esthetic outcome, especially for anterior teeth. This ceramic offers high mechanical performance, including good wear resistance and a flexural strength averaging 400 MPa [26]. Lithium disilicate can be used for partial or full crowns, inlays, onlays, and three-unit fixed partial dentures32. Meanwhile, composite material was used for the direct veneer on tooth 12, providing an enamel-like appearance and long-lasting results when properly polished [28]. For the insertion of the all-porcelain indirect veneer on tooth 22(1), a light-cure resin cement in a neutral shade was used, this cement was chosen for its high strength, durable bonding, and ability to reinforce ceramic veneers [21]. Studies suggest that light-cure resin cement is suitable for thin laminate veneer cementation due to its superior color stability compared to self-cure and dual-cure cements28. Initial curing is performed for 1-2 seconds to make it easier to clean excess cement with an excavator [23]. Excess cement removal is a crucial step, as failure to do so may increase the risk of gingivitis and periodontitis [24]. For the insertion of the all-porcelain on teeth 11, 21, and 22(1), a dual-cure resin cement in a neutral shade was used. Dual-cure resin cement offers advantages such as adequate polymerization World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, 2025, 28(01), 1454-1474 1473 and extended working time, as its light-cure mechanism allows for controlled setting. As a result, a fast initial setting helps stabilize the restoration [23]. 5. Conclusion Complex aesthetic treatment on the upper anterior teeth using digital smile design (DSD) and restorations with lithium disilicate crowns and veneers resulted in optimal aesthetic outcomes. The treatment also restored proper functions such as chewing, breathing, speaking, and swallowing. After one month, a clinical evaluation was conducted on the crowns and veneers, and the results showed that the restorations were in good condition without any issues.
