It is a challenge to restore function and esthetics for patients with excessive interdental spacing. This article describes an alternative diagnostic procedure to permit clear communication of the intended outcome among the restorative dentist, orthodontist, and patient. This procedure uses fabrication of multiple duplicated casts, sectioned stone teeth, repositioned stone teeth, full-contour diagnostic wax-ups, and occlusal putty impressions. This procedure can be used as proposed or for various situations in which complex restorative treatment is needed.
