Abstract

The aim of this article is to introduce a faster and even simpler method where the patient can readily visualize the treatment outcome than the currently available methods. This article demonstrates how PowerPoint software can be used to generate instant virtual treatment outcomes (IVTOs) at the chairside using the patient’s digital photographs. The generated two-dimensional skeletal and dental IVTO provides the necessary communication aid in patient motivation and education. Furthermore, it serves as making a tremendous leap forward, toward informed consent.
