Introduction to the case

69 year old gentleman came in for consult on bonding. Recent crown on right canine had broken off and he was balancing it in place. Lots of wear on remaining anterior teeth. He came back 2 weeks later for an elective root canal so I could place a prefab metal post and bond his crown in place. He was back a month later when I bonded his 5 remaining anterior teeth.

Some one placed a case asking for help with lengthening anterior teeth and I discovered these pictures buried in my computer so thought I’d post them to maybe help answer some questions about the problem.

Anterior Composite Buildup Using Bioclear Matrices

Introduction to the case

This is my 2nd Bioclear case, just looking for feedback again from all you bondadontists. This one is more Doc Terry style.

91 y.o. male, didn’t like how worn his teeth were.

Filtek SU and Beautifil flow+ again.

It’s a lot of composite, but at age 91 I may have time on my side. You can’t tell from the pictures but the “crowns” are very thick, which I hope will compensate for the lack of posterior occlusion.

Still figuring out the technique. Big thanks to Doc Terry for making it seem possible, in the past I would have told him he needed RCT/post/crowns or a denture. This seems like a good compromise.
