60 Minutes | 1 CE Credit

Recording available with Continuum or Course Collection Purchase

Teeth often have significant undercuts, either due to their natural contour or after decay removal. The challenge is determining how to prepare the tooth to achieve a proper path of draw without converting a veneer preparation into a crown preparation. This case demonstrates how such undercuts can be managed in a minimally invasive manner.

Recording available with Continuum or Course Collection Purchase

The main challenge in this case was the patient's pain, discomfort, and airway issues. Treatment involved finding a comfortable orthopedic position and determining how restorations could restore function while aligning with it. The feasibility of using Invisalign and the extent of restorations were key factors in the planning process.

Minimally Invasive Veneer Case ​Discussion

Minimally Invasive Veneer Case â€‹

60 Minutes | 1 CE Credit

Recording available with Continuum or Course Collection Purchase

The patient’s main concern was not showing teeth when smiling, though no functional issues were reported. To address the esthetics, the treatment plan involved deprogramming to alter the vertical dimension and performing veneers and crown-lays on teeth #3-14. Despite no functional complaints, deprogramming was needed to establish the correct vertical using a centric relation position. A restorative approach was chosen to meet the patient’s esthetic goals.

In this complex case, the patient has implants, veneers, and crowns, with issues of gray discoloration and slight lip imbalance from previous surgeries. Dental Facial Analysis (DFA) revealed excessive tooth exposure. The plan is to shorten the anterior teeth, possibly use Invisalign to intrude the canines, and select suitable materials. Splinting the implants with pink porcelain to achieve a natural papilla effect is recommended. Effective lab communication is crucial for optimal material selection and esthetic outcomes.
