- Digital smile design vs conventional design methods in oral rehabilitation: aesthetic outcomes and patients satisfaction – a systematic reviewPublication . Laddomada, Sara Maria; Falcão, CarlosThe focus of this thesis is to evaluate whether Digital Smile Design (DSD) enhances the rehabilitative outcomes and patient communication compared to traditional design methods in oral rehabilitation. The question this thesis aims to answer is: "Does DSD improve rehabilitative outcomes and patient communication compared to traditional methods?" To address this question, the PICO model was adopted as the research framework. The systematic review was performed in alignment with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Data collection involved extensive searches across electronic databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and MDPI, ensuring a comprehensive review of relevant literature. Articles were retrieved using keywords and these terms were combined with Boolean operators ("AND," "OR," "NOT") to refine the search. Strict inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied. Only human clinical trials were included to ensure relevance and applicability. Systematic reviews, meta-analyses, studies conducted on animals, and articles in languages other than English were excluded to maintain the focus and quality of the data. The assessment of methodological quality was carried out using the tool Robins-I for Randomized Controlled Trial, Non-randomized comparative study (quasi-experimental), Pilot observational study and Clinical Case Report.
