Today was a really great day. I got the opportunity to test out the new e.max ZirCAD MT Multi Block. I had one bridge block and one single unit block so I was patiently waiting for a patient with the proper shade.
This patient presented with a bridge needed from #27-29 and a crown on #30.
Here is the bridge right after being sintered
and at try-in
I decided I wanted to add a little characterization so I added Empress Stain and Glaze
Normally this was not something I would do same day but I scheduled this appointment on a Friday that I wasn't normally working so that I could document everything. She was well aware that there would be some down time. What I didn't quite realize was that the sintering time would 144 min. What to do with 144 extra min?? Why not address the front teeth?
She had a lot of large fillings in the anterior with recurrent decay and she wanted a better smile to boost her confidence. In the 2.5 hrs that we waited for the bridge, we made these using e.max A2 MT blocks
And did this...
I asked her at the seat of the anteriors if she wanted to see them before I bonded them in. She said that she trusted me and wanted a surprise.
