Abstract
Objective: To describe a proof-of-concept digital workflow for four-dimensional (4D) virtual simulation of facial soft tissue support in edentulous patients, based on a real clinical case. Methods: A non-invasive digital workflow was developed using intraoral, extraoral, and laboratory scans. These datasets were merged into a simulation three-dimensional (3D) model using finite element methods. Skeletal structures were represented by surface meshes, and soft tissues by volumetric tetrahedral elements. Simulations predicted changes in
