Objective: This article will explain and demonstrate the application of analog smile design techniques and concepts as a precursor for digital smile design implementation. The application of these techniques will be described with two case presentations that will demonstrate the incorporation of these analog methods into digital smile design programs.
Clinical Considerations: Digital smile design workflows can be more efficient and require less chair time but must be based on an understanding and application of basic smile design principles to apply the digital techniques successfully.
Conclusions: The application of basic smile design techniques to digital workflows resulted in excellent clinical outcomes for both a localized treatment plan and a full mouth restorative rehabilitation.
Clinical Significance: Digital smile design is quickly being adopted into dental practices. However, the digital design must be created by the clinician and be based on a thorough understanding of basic esthetic and restorative principles to achieve predictable successful clinical outcomes.

Succinyldiamide derivatives are important structural motifs in various natural products, pharmaceuticals, and functional materials. Herein, a novel, mild, and environmentally friendly method was developed for synthesizing functionalized succinyldiamides each containing a quaternary carbon center. This strategy was designed to involve photocatalytic decarboxylation of readily available oxalic monoamide using a non-precious metal photocatalyst, 4CzIPN, followed by a free-radical addition/Smiles rearrangement cascade reaction of -aryl--(arylsulfonyl)acrylamides.

The quest for an esthetically pleasing smile is a key driver in seeking dental interventions aimed at achieving a more balanced and harmonious appearance. The purpose of this report is to discuss the restoration of conical lateral incisors in an 11-year-old patient. The treatment approach employed direct composite resin restorations associated with the Digital Smile Design (DSD) technology.

Purpose: To analyze the effect of individual parameters on the postoperative refractive outcomes of small incision lenticule extraction in myopic eyes using machine learning methods.
Design: Retrospective Clinical Cohort Study METHODS: We included 477 patients (922 eyes) of small incision lenticule extraction at Tianjin Ophthalmology Hospital and divided the patients into two groups to analyzed the factors affecting postoperative refractive outcomes based on the label of postoperative spherical equivalent (SE) ≤ -0.50D.

: Digital diagnostic waxing is a contemporary alternative to the conventional wax-up method. This study aims to evaluate the impact of both techniques on the perceived frontal symmetry in aesthetic treatment planning. Dental symmetry significantly influences smile perception and, consequently, the acceptance of treatment outcomes, highlighting its clinical importance in restorative dentistry.

An important consideration in their experimental design is the choice of initialization procedure as this influences the duration of initial-condition memory, with implications for interpreting the temporal evolution of both the ensemble-mean and ensemble-spread. Here we leverage the strategic design of the 100-member Community Earth System Model version 2 (CESM2) SMILE to investigate the dependence of ensemble spread on the method of initialization (micro- vs.
