Thomas Monahan Morning all,
I thought'd I'd post this case for some critique. Still trying to learn characterization skills. Mike's videos have really helped me and I'm assuming several others with contouring these restorations. Here's how I approached this case.
Patient presented with cosmetic concerns with 8 and 9. Crowns were connected with who knows what underneath. Both previous root canal treated.
Had a mockup done and scheduled patient to have crowns removed. This is what we were left with.
After prepping, placing new post in #9, BU and making temps, this is what she left with. Had plenty of ferrule even though it doesn't appear that way. And of course I dont carry every temp shade, but will now order some staining material for them. She was nice enough that she did not care.
Patient returned in a few weeks so I could scan the biocopy. I had taken one the day of the work, but saved the .rstimg file just in case she wanted some changes. When she came back I took a new image just because I had the idea of putting a marker for the midline for reference. Sometimes I feel like the proposals start looking weird so I decided to see if this worked. And it did help.
Proposal:
Biocopy with refernece line from sharpie. It did help, i moved the midline a bit to line it up.
Tissue healed before cementation after removal of temps:
Then here are the finals immediate post op. She was thrilled. I think we could have done more translucency and the incisal embrasure is bugging me. Other than that, successful case. Just wanted to share the sharpie thing, in case that could help people in the future.
Cant wait for Cerec 30.
Tom
