Introduction
The key to esthetic perfection is effective communication. Visual communication is essential for patient acceptance of esthetic treatment, treatment planning, and successful case completion. Visual documentation is mandatory for optimal laboratory communication and obtaining consistent esthetic results. Photographic self-analysis is also the key to personal improvement and the growth of ones esthetic abilities. You cannot practice today’s esthetic dentistry without mastering visual communication skills.
