Dental Tribune U.S. Edition | June 2014 a7Industry News Ad initial impressions and fabricated bite blocks and occlusal rims for the cen- tric jaw relationship (CJR) records. Each bite block contains two screw-retained temporary cylinders that allow the wax rims to be screwed down, produc- ing a very accurate CJR. The contoured rims were returned to the laboratory with the initial casts. Upon receiving the wax rims and jaw relation records, the laboratory and dentist decided that the patient required four multi-unit abutments in the anterior maxilla to ensure that the screw access openings were within the confines of the planned prosthesis, so at the next appointment, the patient’s healing abutments were removed, and the multi-unit abutments were transferred to the patient’s mouth and torqued into place. Later, wax setups were tried in and evaluated for proper esthetics, phonetics, contours, occlusion and tooth arrangement. The implant verification jig (IVJ), which precisely captures the depth and angulation of the implants in the final impression, was seated and tightened into place. After bonding the individ- ual sections of the IVJ together, a final impression was made using an open- tray impression technique and the cus- tom tray provided by the lab. The lab produced a fixed provision- al appliance using precise CAD/CAM technology and effectively preserving the doctor-approved setup. The pro- visional implant prosthesis afforded the patient a trial period to evaluate the proposed restoration for esthetics and function over an interval of a few weeks (Fig. 2). The final restoration was fabricated using the CAD design that was con- firmed during the provisional trial pe- riod. The final prostheses were delivered without complication, exhibiting ex- cellent fit, occlusion and esthetics (Fig. 3). The patient was exceptionally pleased with the function offered by this fixed restoration, which he should be able to enjoy for a great number of years given the extraordinary durabil- ity of BruxZir Solid Zirconia. “ ARCH, page A6 Keystone Industries hosts ‘Jay Day’ Keystone Industries supports the staff of Silverman Dental Associates and the practice’s 2014 annual ‘Jay Day,’ which provides free dental care to uninsured residents in the practice’s rural Pennsylvania community.
