Daniel Wilson This was a patient who arrived at my office after a less than optimum orthodontic finish and failed hard and soft tissue grafts for the area of #8. I encouraged her to see my periodontist that I work with, but she was "tired and done". She couldn't stand her essix and wanted a bridge. I talked her out of it and said that we could do something as a long term temporary and then when she was ready, we could explore grafting and implants in the future. I bonded #7 to correct the mesial concavity. #9 was used as the retainer. I did prep slightly on the lingual of #9, but still kept the prep in enamel to maximize the bond for the restoration.
This was a 2 hour case. I stained and glazed in the mouth but still needed to do a second fire to get it to my satisfaction. I used IPS e.max A1 LT.
