Abstract :
Aim: A systematic review of the literature to highlight the reliability of different tools used for the aesthetic diagnosis in fixed prosthesis.
Materials and Methods: Our literature research was performed using electronic databases PubMed, Cochrane library and Embase. We selected studies dating back 10 years. Eligible studies included scientific articles that met the selected inclusion criteria.
Results: The 28 studies selected allowed us to provide a critical analysis of the various aesthetic diagnostic tools. These studies have dismissed some tools and admitted others. The diagnosis phase requires different tools divides into documentation tools, aesthetic analysis tools, planning tools and preview tools.
Conclusion: Based on the analysis of the results of our studies, not all aesthetic diagnosis tools are valid. Some are rejected and others are adopted. Current tools offer a larger dimension to the creation of the new smile. Modern dentistry provides the clinician with the necessary aids to reach excellence.
