As a heavy
smoker and after ten years without dental care, this male patient
presented with rampant decay. He needed immediate caries control
to maintain his dentition. However, this would not have left
him with sufficient tooth structure to build on so full coverage
IPS Empress crowns where the only possible restorative option.
The patient had no neuromuscular symptoms. Teeth 5-12 and 20-29
were to be restored. A Diagnostic Wax-up was prepared by Aurum
Ceramic/Classic and shown to the patient. He was pleased with
the potential result even at this early stage in his treatment.
Both shape and tooth length were approved and IPS Empress Crowns
were prepared and placed. The patient is beside himself with
his new smile!
