The first case profiled had gingival recession exposing root surfaces, yet there was no discussion of etiology or discussion of consideration for periodontal plastic surgery. Some margins were left in dentin. Cementation technique left out some important steps to avoid leakage and sensitivity.

Excellent results Dr Vafiadis...Is there an issue with bonding to dentin with the case where you brought back the anterior arch from by 2mms? In making the provisionals did you have to create a common path of draw of all the preps to allow the Protemp shell to be drawn from the preps in one piece without it shrink wrapping and locking on the preps? Do you spot etch the preps only without applying bond before adding the flowable composite as the bonding agent?
Which flowable do you use?
Thank you! Sharon Goodwin

CAD/CAM Anterior Esthetic Implant Restorations: The BellaTek Encode Healing Abutment and CAD-Block Ceramics

CAD/CAM Anterior Esthetic Implant Restorations: The BellaTek Encode Healing Abutment and CAD-Block Ceramics
Digital design software programs for teeth and implant restorations have evolved over the past 5 years. Using CBCT scans and digital preoperative scans, the clinician can properly plan the placement of implant fixtures. Various software programs and intraoral scanners offer analysis of proper implant position, angle of implant placement, and depth of tissue and occlusal clearance. The utilization of coded healing abutments (BellaTek®, Encode®, Biomet 3i) may also add to the precision of design and calibration of all tissue contacting points of the emerging abutment. This article will introduce and describe a current model for fabrication of ideal abutments, and fabrication of CAD/ CAM restorations for the anterior esthetic zone.
