Clinical Case: Is it possible to do more with less? Cracking the chameleon effect
Using 3M™ Filtek™ Easy Match Universal Restorative.
Using 3M™ Scotchbond™ Universal Plus Adhesive, 3M™ RelyX™ Universal Resin Cement, and 3M™ RelyX™ Try-in Paste.
24-year-old patient wanted to enhance esthetics, especially in the uppercentral incisors. She had an old zirconia crown on tooth 11 with somediscoloration and an inadequate cervical margin. Tooth 21 had oldcomposite restorations.
In the treatment plan, it was decided to replace the crown on tooth 11 with a new zirconia crown and make a glass ceramic veneer for tooth 21. A direct composite restoration was planned on tooth 22 as well to create a more harmonious smile curve.
3M™ RelyX™ Universal Resin Cement was used for both the self-adhesive cementation of the zirconia crown as well as the esthetic bonding of the glass ceramic veneer. This allowed for a streamlined, more efficient seating process vs. using multiple resin cements.
