🦷✨Build a Strong Relationship with Ceramists✨🦷
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dental lab ceramists and technicians are key members of the dental team. They provide services that no other team members can duplicate.

Communication with your dental lab, specifically, with the ceramist in charge of a particular case, is essential for both the success of that case and patient satisfaction.

🦷✨Cleft Lip & Palate✨🦷
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Clefts of all types are often linked with congenitally missing teeth, and have been found to have a higher occurrence of dental anomalies, such as differences in tooth number and position, and reduced tooth sizes most of which are concentrated in the area of the cleft defect.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This patient was preparing to enter college and expressed to me his disinterest in having something removable that he would have to take in and out or something that would cause him to speak differently in front of his friends. Understandably, I was able to provide him with different fixed treatment options for his congenitally missing tooth such as space maintenance, restoring the space with a dental implant or resin bonded fixed partial denture, also known as a Maryland bridge which was the option that he preferred.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This case involved teamwork and collaboration with Dr. Adriana Da Silveira who is an orthodontist with additional expertise in caring for patients born with cleft lip & palate and craniofacial syndromes.

🦷✨FULL SMILE MAKEOVER✨🦷
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are a number of people who have dental problems that must be treated comprehensively with a vision of a final result that improves both function and esthetics. These patients may be experiencing cracked or broken teeth, multiple missing teeth, numerous teeth with large fillings that are failing, or badly worn teeth due to teeth grinding or other habits.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The treatments can include veneers, onlays, bridges, implants, dentures and in this patient’s case, all crowns that will essentially provide not only a "smile makeover", but improved chewing efficiency and confidence for my patient.

🦷✨Full Mouth Rehabilitation✨🦷
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💋 More often than not patients think that their smile isn’t worth saving and they just give up. But when you as the restorative dentist can take the time and truly educate a patient that their teeth can be saved and that they themselves are worth it, it’s life changing! 💋
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔸Shout out to Stuart at for these gorgeous esthetic zirconia crowns 👑🙌🏼🔸

🦷✨When does one choose to fabricate a survey crown.... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✳️ to restore an inadequate or broken down clinical crown ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✳️ to reestablish a proper occlusal plane (i.e. supra-erupted teeth)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✳️ to create proper rests, particularly with anterior teeth, and adequate retentive undercuts for direct retainers and guide planes when inadequate contours exist ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🦷✨An iShell gingival sleeve to help create a custom provisional implant restoration for gingival recontouring.
[⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀]
♦️There are several surgical and restorative techniques that can help reduce the loss of hard and soft tissues that often accompany implant placement. The use of an immediate customized provisional crown can provide a mechanism to assist a clinician in achieving an optimal emergence profile in the esthetic zone♦️
[⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀]
🔸🤓💬 What techniques do you use to manage or guide tissues at the time of implant placement in the esthetic zone?
Also, if you’ve tried using an iShell by Vulcan Custom Dental, I would love to hear your thoughts! 💬🔸

💁🏻‍♀️ Future photos and updates on this case to come ✌🏼

🦷✨That back to back double cord technique 💜💛

♦️Keeping the margins free of fluids is key for an accurate impression. Hemostatic agents, mechanical retraction with cords, retraction paste, or a combination of any of these help to ensure that the margins remain visible and dry. Widely used hemostatic agents include:

🔸Aluminum chloride🔸
25% - ViscoStat Clear
21.3% - Hemodent
15% - Traxodent paste

It has been found that aluminum chloride is one of the least irritating among hemostatic agents used with cords.

♦️Ferric sulfate♦️
20% - ViscoStat
15.5% - Astringedent

Ferric sulfate stains gingival tissues due to its iron content and tends to leave behind a blue/black precipitate for several days. ⚠️ Care must be taken when using it in esthetic anterior cases.

🔸Both agents disrupt the setting reaction of PVS impression materials. Therefore, all traces of the medicament should be rinsed and cleaned off thoroughly from the tissue before taking an impression 🚿🧼
