Failed Crowns Open up New Possibilities for Full-Arch Rehabilitation

Apolinar Madrigal, DDS

When a 58-year-old woman presented to the author's practice she had two failed crowns, a previously identified infection, failing composites, and other esthetic concerns that needed attention. Due to the complexity of the patient's oral condition and the requirement for various types of restorations, the clinician needed the expertise of a dental laboratory that could help execute the case with flawless precision. Because of the wide variety of restorative options it offers, as well as products and services such as Trial Smile and the Additive-Reductive Template (A.R.T.®) technique, the clinician sent the case to DenMat® Laboratory (denmat.com/laboratory). For this case, the dental team relied on placement of a Hahn Tapered Implant (Glidewell Direct, hahnimplant.com) and a DenMat lithium-disilicate screw-retained crown on tooth No. 8; DenMat lithium-disilicate crowns on teeth Nos. 7, 9, and 10; and minimally invasive Lumineers® veneers (DenMat) on teeth Nos. 4 through 6, 11, and 12. The full-arch rehabilitation was completed with the delivery of other necessary restorative work, including removal of failing amalgams and placement of Nuance® universal composite (DenMat). DenMat's A.R.T. technique guided the clinician during the preparation of teeth Nos. 4 through 6, 11, and 12, and the use of Trial Smile simplified the temporization process.
