Multi layered 360 composite veneers | Functionality-based aesthetics
Young male adult 28, presented to our practice
requesting aesthetic reconstruction of his teeth. Findings were compromised mastication and poor appearance due to multiple
decays,
abrasions , all resulting in
unstable occlusion (could not chew properly) and
bad aesthetics
Our primary assignment was
to not drill healthy segments of teeth.
Treatment launched with
Digital Smile Design and
non-invasive try-in of the intended shape of restorations with a
composite prototype – mock up
Physical visualization of the
Cad/Cam design helped patient
see and sense his new teeth
without any drilling or adhesion being applied. Consent given to proceed with the treatment
Cleaning of decayed segments resulted in heavily incongruous appearance of upper teeth
Super-precise navigators fabricated to help copy the new design on teeth. 360 veneers were placed in layers to combine
robustness and natural looks
State-of-the-art composite system was used –
Asteria by Tokuyama Inc, Japan
As with any of our treatments, our main tasks being by default the following
- Restore health – removal of decay debris
- Support and improve function – chew & phonetics
- Enhance Aesthetics
It is apparent that aesthetics are not our primary task rather than the last. As function defines aesthetics and vice versa, not two separate entities are to be considered.
Health is the one and only task that always stands out
