The following case was completed during a recent Advanced Posterior
Aesthetics course (with Dr. Ronald Jackson) at the Las Vegas Institute
for Advanced Dental Studies.
“This patient was actually my dental assistant who wanted
her teeth restored to a natural appearance just like all the patients
that we were helping every week. She presented with two amalgams
beginning to show marginal leakage on #29 and #31 along with a deteriorating
composite on #30. We decided to restore #29 and #31 with direct composites.
#30 was restored with a Cristobal inlay along with a direct composite
on the buccal. Although well-experienced in the dental industry,
she was still amazed by the dramatic change in natural appearance
as well as the smoothness of the final surfaces to the tongue.
You may also notice the composite buttons evident on #28 through
#30 in the Before photo. These remain on #28 and #29 in the After
and were originally placed to retain orthodontic aligners.”
