#brokentooth reconstruction

This case was a challenge , for two reasons,1. the crown is broken completely and there is ginival bleeding.2.less clearance b coz of supra eruption of opposing upper tooth.
but the post and core buildup worked out well and the patient opted for ametal crown ,so it is placed.

correction of #protrudedteeth


for best results in aesthetic dentistry, the zirconium crowns are the latest ones which are stronger than conventional ceramic crowns .
see this case , the patient is 27 years of age with severe class 2 malocclusion, with fanning of anterior teeth,two of them already discoloured. the patient had marriage in three months. orthognathic surgery is ruled out as the patient doesnt want it.we have devised a two step trt,
1. orthodontic correction or protruded teeth
2.zirconium crowns in 13 to 23, which is acting both as retention device and gives aesthetic corection of disoloured teeth.
