When creating provisional restorations, color can often appear inconsistent due to variations in the substrate shade and the thickness of the provisional material. I’ll walk you through how I managed both the provisionals and the final restorations to achieve even, natural-looking color — all without making a new provisional implant abutment by utilizing the patient’s existing one.

Implant Series: Part One
60 Minutes | 1 CE Credit
Recording available with Continuum or Course Collection Purchase
What happens when an implant is placed in a less-than-ideal position, making achieving perfect esthetics nearly impossible?
In this case, the first try-in showed promising tissue esthetics, but the ceramics appeared gray. Master ceramist Nelson Rego will explain how collaboration transformed the outcome, achieving a flawless color match.

Managing Color
60 Minutes | 1 CE Credit
Recording available with Continuum or Course Collection Purchase
One of the most challenging aspects of a case like this is achieving consistent color optics when porcelain thickness varies significantly. This case outlines how to manage minimal-prep veneers adjacent to aggressively prepped teeth while still achieving a seamless color match. Close collaboration with the lab to create a color-corrective core is essential to success

Milled Lithium Disilicate: What Are Your Parameters?
60 Minutes | 1 CE Credit
Recording available with Continuum or Course Collection Purchase
Material selection is a critical factor in any case, but it becomes even more important when retreating teeth that were aggressively prepped. While beautiful final aesthetics are always the goal, functional demands and the patient’s clinical history must also inform our decisions. In this case, lithium disilicate was chosen and used in a monolithic form, milled and stained without cutback or layering, yet still delivered an esthetic result. In cases like this, ingot selection plays a pivotal role in achieving success.

Undercuts: Where's Your Margin?
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.​​
​
Managing Tooth Agenesis
60 Minutes | 1 CE Credit
Recording available with Continuum or Course Collection Purchase
​Managing tooth agenesis presents a unique challenge, as we aim to provide both functional support during the growth and development phase and enhance patients' confidence with a beautiful smile. This case discussion will focus on interdisciplinary care involving orthodontics, transitional composite bonding, and the progression toward final implant placement and porcelain restorations.​
Implant Esthetics: Managing the Single Tooth Challenge
60 Minutes | 1 CE Credit
Recording available with Continuum or Course Collection Purchase
​Learn how to design abutments that mirror natural tooth contours for optimal tissue positioning with insights from Nelson Rego, CDT, AAACD. Master provisionalization to guide tissue behavior and explore analog and digital methods for final impressions. Get tips for single-tooth restorations and selecting the right materials to avoid translucency and thickness issues in ceramics.​​​
Achieving Longer Teeth Through Comprehensive Dental Restoration
60 Minutes | 1 CE Credit
Recording available with Continuum or Course Collection Purchase
​This case focuses on a patient's request for longer teeth, a common esthetic concern. Though the request seemed simple, an examination revealed underlying issues like wear patterns and bite problems. A treatment plan was developed, including orthodontics to correct alignment before restorative work.​​​
Prioritizing Pre-Restorative Orthodontics for Functional Excellence
60 Minutes | 1 CE Credit
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
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.​
​
Comprehensive Consultation for Maxillary Restorations and Smile Transformation
60 Minutes | 1 CE Credit
Recording available with Continuum or Course Collection Purchase
​The patient sought a restorative consult due to dissatisfaction with previous maxillary restorations, including redness and bleeding. She desired whiter teeth and had concerns about redoing recent crowns. Her dental history included orthodontics, occasional clenching, and difficulty eating certain foods. With her main concern being esthetic, a comprehensive evaluation and potential restorations were needed.​
​
Managing Spacing Across the Entire Upper Arch: Minimally Invasive and Cost-Effective
60 Minutes | 1 CE Credit
Recording available with Continuum or Course Collection Purchase
​The case focused on evaluating the patient's dental-facial esthetics and tooth size discrepancies. With ongoing orthodontics, planning options like digital smile design and injection molding were discussed. The goal was a balanced, esthetic result with minimal invasiveness and cost, ultimately favoring injection molding as the most efficient solution.​
Where do we put the teeth within the face?
60 Minutes | 1 CE Credit
Recording available with Continuum or Course Collection Purchase
​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.​
Harmony in Esthetics: Choosing the Right Materials
60 Minutes | 1 CE Credit
Recording available with Continuum or Course Collection Purchase
​During this session, we’ll explore the intricacies of finding the balance between esthetic goal and minimizing the risks associated with tooth structure integrity, which play a crucial role in material selection for achieving a beautiful outcome. Special guest Nelson Rego, CDT, AAACD will elaborate on the considerations and decision-making process involved in selecting the most appropriate material for this particular patient case. ​
