All ceramic crown and adjacent veneer
Introduction and patient’s chief complaint
The patient presented to the practice wishing to enhance the appearance of her smile after her upper central incisors had been traumatised two years previously, leaving them fractured and discoloured.
A potential periapical lesion, although the tooth was asymptomatic. The remaining dentition was healthy. The aim of treatment was to restore correct form to the 11 and bring 21 labially in line with the existing 11 and 22 whilst restoring a more natural colour. It was decided that a full all-ceramic crown would replace 11 due to the extent of the fracture, with a veneer on 21. This would allow correction of any form, position and shade issues and satisfy the patients wish for a more aesthetically pleasing smile. The patient was also informed that 21 would need further root treatment for long term health and stability. However, as the patient only had a two week window to complete treatment, we were unable to carry it out at that point.
