Crowning case

Today i will be sharing another crowning case. This middle aged lady has an obvious problem. Her 2 old crowns have come loose and her dentist failed to replace them in their original positions, which is understandable because they have detriorated so much.

My dentist advised her to redo her PFM crowns with emax crowns. After seeing what we have done for her daughter, she agreed.

Before.
After.

The 2 old PFM crowns have deteriorated so much, it was impossible to seat them proper after they were dislodged. At the same time, we notice the gap between the crowns as well.

Did you notice that her original crowns were also protruding? That's the problem that she didn't have a choice of a better system back then. Definitely she needs a redo for her crowns.

We removed her old PFMs, masked the underlying colour. Impressions were taken. The stumps were temporarily covered with temporary crown material. After one week time, her emax crowns were delievered.

My dentist also suggested her to have a veneer on the lateral incisor would be perfect.
