Case Study #8
Overview of Case : The patient presented with older crowns that were failing, and new cavities were found around the edges of the crowns, along with breaking down of the crowns themselves. The previous crowns were likely made of poor quality materials. The dental team decided to perform a full mouth rehabilitation to fix the issues with the patient's teeth. During the procedure, a rubber dam was used to control the amount of water used and to prevent the patient from swallowing any old crowns or fillings. The ¾ crowns on the lower teeth were delivered using a rubber dam to ensure the best possible bond and longevity of the restorations. The gum tissue was slightly irritated immediately after the removal of the rubber dam, but it healed within 2-3 days with no need for pain medication. The final result was a rejuvenated smile with excellent function and esthetics.
