of the existing tooth. It can be seen here
by overlaying the preoperative model
over the restoration designs.
Figs. 22-26: A closer look at the designs
frommultiple angles ( following page)
shows the restorations are well
integrated into the arch form and
occlusion.
Fig. 27: The restorations are now sent to
the milling chamber to be fabricated.
At this time, the teeth are isolated for
endo treatment with rubber dam and
OpalDam to seal the exposed areas.
Both #28 and #29 were single canals and
shaped to a size #40.06 using K3 XF
files in the TriAuto ZX. They were then
obturated using a single matched cone
technique with EndoRez sealer.
Figs. 28-30: During this time, the
restorations were tried in (hence the
split-dam technique) and my assistant
stained/glazed the restorations.
Figs. 31-33: The restorations were again
verified to fit, and the internal was
micro-etched, conditioned and silaned.
The teeth were prepared for bonding
with OptiBond XTR (Self-Etch two-
bottle system) and cemented with
Anchor resin build-up/cement. The
access and restorations were seated in
a single step.
conclusion
This entire visit was completed in two-
and-a-half hours, and allowed ample time
to ensure excellent outcomes and check
double hygiene without feeling rushed.
This type of efficient, productive appoint-
ment simply isn’t possible without
CEREC single-visit dentistry. I encourage
you to take a serious look at CEREC with
Omnicam and realize the benefits for
your practice and patients.
