The challenge of central incisors solved by CAD-CAM

Introduction
Dr Julian Caplan, an experienced Cerec user takes us through his approach to restoring anterior teeth using CAD CAM. with a normal overjet and overbite. Vitality tests proved positive. The periodontal health was reasonable, with no pockets of more than 2mm present. Some gingivitis was present, especially interdentally, and a hygienist visit was scheduled to treat the gingivitis present. The gingival symmetry was good. It was decided to use the one visit Cerec technique to enable accurate colour matching and shaping of the incisal edge. The veneer is made in the surgery allowing good patient input into the final result from a colour and morphological point of view. • Fractured veneer 11 • Defective veneer 21 with poor shape. The clinical treatment goals were to develop symmetry of the two central incisors in length and colour. Following stabilisation of the gingival health, informed consent was given in writing by the patient and the required appointments scheduled.
