Successfully rehabilitating a patient's smile can be a rewarding experience for the patient and the entire restorative team. Because of the large investment by everyone involved, it is imperative for there to be a progression and completion of clinical and technical procedures that allow for a predictable result. In support of those procedures, the clinician and laboratory technician must possess knowledge that allows the replication of natural anatomic detail, including the principal structural manifestations commonly known as line angles or transitional line angles, in the design and fabrication of any restoration required. This article will define and identify line angles and how the clinician and laboratory technician can utilize them to the restorative team's advantage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
