Habitual inter- cuspation and protrusion were checked with articulating paper to ensure functional integration of the restorations. After minimum selective grinding with a fine, dia- mond-coated instrument without any pressure, the polishing was done with ceramic polishers (NTI) to seal the surface again and pre- vent microcracks. Finally, impres- sions were taken for the fabrica- tion of a splint for long-term func- tional relief of the periodontium and restorations and to support lasting treatment success. Haute couture for the mouth The initial situation could only be optimally treated with an inter- disciplinary treatment concept and the active involvement of the patient. The treatment result shows a highly aesthetic rehabili- tation harmoniously integrated into the patient’s overall appear- ance. A confident smile appears on the patient’s lips, emphasising her personality (Figs. 9 & 10). The interaction of red and white aes- thetics appears natural and origi- nal (Figs. 11 & 12). Feldspathic ce- ramic, a natural product with a Educate your patients about the mouth and body connection. balanced interplay of colours and light, ensures a natural appear- ance. The patient’s graceful smile found a new home in the ceramic layering (Fig. 13).

The sunshine yellow VITA AKZENT Plus EFFECT STAINS (ES04) were only used to make slight characterisations in- terdentally in the cervical area be- fore the final glaze firing. No glaz- ing or finishing agent was used, in order to maintain the detailed sur- face texture. VITA VM 9 already allowed a homogenous surface without microporosity during the layering. For this reason, only min- imal final polishing was done with pumice and a goat hair brush after the glazing firing (Fig. 8). Fully adhesive seating The temporary was removed for the final seating. The prepara- tion areas were cleaned with a powder jet and reworked with a one-gloss polisher (SHOFU). The feldspathic ceramic veneers for teeth #12 and 22 were conditioned with 5 % hydrofluoric acid and si- Fig. 13: The happy patient with her new smile. lane after a careful try-in of all res- torations. The lumen of the ve- neered zirconium dioxide frame- work at teeth #11 and 21 was sand- blasted with aluminium oxide. Teeth #11 and 21 were seated first. The excess of the self-adhesive ce- ment RelyX Unicem (3M ESPE) was hardened with the polymerisation light and then exfoliated. The sub- sequent polymerisation occurred chemically with the catalyst that was mixed in. The veneers were seated with Variolink (Ivoclar Vivadent). The preparation areas on teeth #12 and 22 were adhesively pre- treated with the acid-etch tech- nique. Composite cement was se- lected in the shade neutral for seating. After the cement applica- tion, the extremely thin veneers were placed without pressure. The excess was removed analogously to the splinted crowns. Remaining cement residue was selectively re- moved from all restorations with a Celebrate World Oral Health Day on 20 March and be part of the global movement SAYTHINK MOUTH THINK HEALTH Organized by O(cid:2)cial World Oral Health Day Partners Supporters www.worldoralhealthday.org
