Self conscious about his smile, the patient wanted it functionally and esthetically restored. Michel and Dr. Barrera decided to use IPS e.max lithium disilicate because they could use a conservative prep design and because of the material’s high strength and esthetic properties.

The final waxup on the master impression with dies untrimmed so shapes could be perfected with soft tissue features in place.

Using IPS e.max ceram, Michel added internal stains and then layered using OE4 for the mamelons, Translucent OE1 for opal effects and Translucent Incisal 1 for the enamel.

The internal effects after firing.

The completed upper and lower restorations glazed and polished on solid model ready for delivery.

The patient is very satisfied with the functionality and esthetics of the restorations.
