Impossible without CEREC
This past Jan, we had a new patient walk into our office. She was distraught over a broken front tooth. I met her and saw an existing Cantilever bridge from #6-7 with #7 completely missing.
She still had possession of the pontic and stated being happy with the shape/contour/esthetics of the previous restoration. Tooth #7 was placed in the mouth and BIOCOPY images captured.
Anesthetic. Preparation of #6 was completed. Images captured.
Final Design with BIOCOPY images confirmed a precise copy of her previous restoration.
The only alteration of the design was on the palatal surface of #7; occlusion/protrusive contacts with the opposing arch lead to failure (see arrow)

The pt was so happy that she took time out of her busy day to write this wonderful review. Again, without CEREC, this final tx option wouldn't have been possible. To date, she has referred 2 other pts to our practice. These are the pts that you know will be with you for life. They will be raving fans and ambassadors for your practice.
You could never buy any other advertisement or marketing plan that would be as effective as that testimonial. Great case...Well done
Super duper emergency save! I would have gone further, maybe after a temporary cement, to bring the whole smile into play. A future talk about colors,shapes sizes, veneers and Invisalign would be in order. Even the happy patients can be made even happier with what we know and how we can do it. I’m sure she’ll be back to ask those very questions. Excellent Cerec case!
