Modern Ceramic Concepts- Minimally Invasive Solutions For Anterior Teeth with Dr. Jason Smithson

Overview

Modern Ceramic Concepts- Minimally Invasive Solutions For Anterior Teeth with Dr. Jason Smithson

Synopsis: 

Broken down, discolored and, structurally compromised teeth are conventionally restored with indirect full coverage ceramic crowns with horizontal chamfer or shoulder margins. This approach is well based in the literature and has been successful over time. However, it often requires significant preparation of the remaining tooth structure, which may result in pulp necrosis, root fractures and periodontal problems.

Dr. Smithson’s class aims to illustrate a more contemporary minimally invasive approach with ceramic veneers to retain tooth structure and extend the overall lifespan of the tooth.
