One Wing Maryland Bridge as a long term temporary....
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.
Here is Dan and myself sitting on the couch, being really big geeks while watching a show, peacefully enjoying a quiet house.
I was putting pictures together of a case I finished up today and posted it on Keep CERECing. Meanwhile, so was he...
This is what happens when you are married to a fellow CEREC doctor. Next we will be wearing similar outfits... hope he likes Louboutins

Sam and Meena would be so disappointed in this remark...Why don't we set the bar higher and go for similar watches....Patek's....I know a guy, who knows a guy...
Those look absolutely amazing! Your stain and glaze techniques are gorgeous! I may have to bug you for tips as I have a case coming up in the middle of the summer to do a one wing Maryland replacing #9 on a 13 year old girl.
Very nice Dan... I almost left a commentary about the fashion comment, but didn't want to hijack a VERY nice case.. ;)

Dan,
I have a young patient who will be needing long term Maryland bridges for missing #7 and 10. What other materials can we use besides eMax?
