10 year treatment of a Central Incisor

This is a case that I've literally been working on for 10 years... interesting to see patients this long and treat the case.

In 2008, this 12 year old came into my office with a fractured #8 from a trauma.  The tooth was fractured pretty good and needed endo.  After endo was done, we bonded in his old fractured piece of tooth and added to it with composite and prepped a minimal thickness veneer.... and restored it with Vita MK II

I knew that eventually this would have to be redone because he was not done growing and eruption would change his situation quite extensively over the years.  He kind of disappeared from my office for awhile and came in again last year.  Just like we thought, the tooth had erupted and changed over the years and needed a new full coverage restoration.  

And here is his final restoration (Vita Trilux) completed this year


What a fun case to complete after all these years!
