This is a 27 year old lady who had a failing crown and heavily restored front teeth. She was keen to resolve the pathology and improve the aesthetic outcome. The lateral incisors had their white filings changed and the central incisors had all ceramic crowns produced and fitted. The ceramist saw the patient during the production phase to obtain the perfect colour and form for the patient.
Pre-treatment. Recurrent caries and a failing crown
Two all ceramic central crowns showing beautiful translucency and form
End result - colour, shape, translucency - all perfectly matched to the patient.
The amount of artistic input by the technician is significant. At the present time this level of accuracy cannot be achieved using CADCAM milled crowns as these crowns are layered by hand to give the depth of colour.
