Light and dark are the two most fundamental elements of photography. Light is used to create your subject and dark is used for contrast. Understanding this relationship between light and dark will empower you to understand your anatomy more effectively as well as be able to create better restorations.

When taking pictures, do you find that some of your pictures turn out yellow? You may have been using a flash, but realize that direction of the light can have a big effect on how your subject looks in the photo.

As you can see changing the angle of the light of the subject reveal the anatomy (4th picture) and different contrasting effects.

In dentistry, we need external source of light (flash) to capture and expose the subject appropriately.

Leave it in the comments what flash set up do you use?

As we can see placing a cotton roll on one side doesnโ€™t establish the same occlusion as without it.

So why do we do it when we deliver single-unit crown or restorations?

I took these pictures and we all can see space between the upper and lower arch is not same with and without cotton rolls.

Do you use single cotton roll? Share your protocol.

Patient presented post ortho for crowns for peg laterals. Discussed difference between a veneer and a crown and he decided to go for veneer. With minimal prep veneer, we were able to complement his smile.

Love to hear your thoughts. Please share it in the comments.

As I mentioned earlier along with spacing we diagnosed occlusal plane discrepancy and canted midline.

Discussed treatment plan with patient and timeline.

Transferred the mock-up onto patients' teeth, to evaluate occlusal plane and midline correction maintaining tooth size proportions. As we can see after mock up transfer, there is significant improvement in the esthetics and symmetry. We corrected midline and smile line.

Last picture is with temporaries/provisionals, in order to get an idea about how the final restoration is going to look.

Abutment jigs are prosthetic devices that are used to confirm the precise position of the implant analogs on the master cast, thus ensuring a passive fit on the final prosthesis.

Patient concerned with spaces and wants to improve her smile. On exam, we diagnosed wear, minor fractures and uneven smile line.

We did mock up smile and obtain feedback from patient to customize to her needs. A mockup smile helps us to visualize how the proposed smile will complement the patientโ€™s face and correct the smile line.

Final smile includes a combination of crowns and veneers to achieve ๐—ฑ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—บ smile.

Let me know if you would be like to post more pictures explaining the steps.
