dear doc how is it the same with canine and pre molars?

Hi, thank you so much for these videos. My question is with the prep guide. As you continue to prepare the teeth do you lose a stable stop when using the guide to assess your reduction?

@StevensonDentalSolutions

5 жыл бұрын

You may prevent losing prep guide stability by extending the guide over more surface area, particularly areas which will not be prepared. But it does become less stable after more preps are completed, so your clinical judgement will come to the rescue.

dr hope you can make a discussion about cementation and managment of discolored tooth during cementation.

Thank you for this great video.Is buccal seating of the veneer difficult when we aim for slight inclination towards the lingual during incisal reduction ? I feel this may introduce an undercut unless the veneer is placed incisal reduction.

@StevensonDentalSolutions

Yes - the line of draw is not buccal and not incisal but a combination of the two. Preparing the incisal and then further extending by wrapping always limits the paths of insertion and this will usually lead to preparation modifications to allow for no undercuts.

This will usually require a deeper prep on the facial, which allows for color change. The depth would be 0.8 or so and this will necessitate a super veneer wrap veneer design to overcome the loss of retention form the enamel insufficiency.

Thank you so much for this amazing lectures Dr. Stevenson @Stevenson Dental Solutions, I wanted to ask, how do you keep proximal contact point tight if you are eliminating it with the diamond strip and the restoration doesn't seem to contact in the part that was reduced? Thank you so much again!

@StevensonDentalSolutions

4 жыл бұрын

The amount of opening is less than 100 microns - just enough for the technician to separate the dies without marginal damage. Since you are extending the interproximal finish line slightly into the contact area, the final veneers will make good contact. It's an amazingly predictable technique, taught to me by the world class Prosthodontist and Technician, Ed McLaren about 20 years ago...

Thank you doctor for the great video and accurate explanation.Why do you prepare the incisal butt and shorten the teeth if we want to lengthen it.How much longer can we make a tooth with a veneer without interfering in the occlusion?Thank you!

@StevensonDentalSolutions

2 жыл бұрын

Just to give the tech more control of the incisal translucency. If we are happy with the existing shade and only want yo lengthen, it is indeed possible to avoid prepping the incisal, but it is tricky - the edge must be a butt joint at the g to avoid ceramic thinning. For the functional, we set our length based on esthetic norms or slightly younger than the patient, then test this with a bonded mock-up for phonetics and pathways (excursive movements and border movements).

Thank you Dr Stevenson for putting in so much effort so we can all learn benefit from the videos. Are there any situations where anterior slide of the lower incisors can fracture off the incisal edge of these veneer designs? What should I look out for in anterior guidance when I want an incisal butt finish?

@StevensonDentalSolutions

5 жыл бұрын

Good question - the key is bilateral even protrusive contacts, and canine guidance through lateral movements AND no pathway interferences while the patient is chewing (perform the chew test with the patient chewing on wax or gum and use 200 micron paper between the anterior teeth while they are chewing and make sure that no marks touch the veneers). Also, the last thing is a crossover check, where the teeth should have broad contacts with the lower teeth and no bumps or "catches" from large lower embrasures during border movements and while edge to edge. Before starting treatment, the lower teeth are leveled out and polished to facilitate the above requirements.

Thank you Dr.Stevenson for this amazing video. If we have a shallow overbite and after reducing incisal edge 2 mm our centric contact is falling at the butt joint junction( where ceramic would meet tooth,) what do it do....do a lingual wrap and take my lingual margin a mm away from that contact?

@StevensonDentalSolutions

Жыл бұрын

Not usually. The interface of the ceramics and tooth with a bonded veneer is not designed with MIP (not "centric", which is an outdated term) as a factor. The margin will be smooth and the ceramic strong under compressive load. I like to think of bonded veneers behaving like enamel.

Diurnal Bruxism will require asking the patient questions about their habits and suggesting a lower occlusal guard (usually tolerated better for diurnal bruxers).

I have a query. When we are cutting through a diagnostic mock up for veneer preparation, all the composite resin left behind s remove n then an impression is made or before that.

@StevensonDentalSolutions

2 ай бұрын

Remove all of it, roughen any un touched enamel, and create a finish line, then take the impression. It is key to try to make a prototype mock up and not strictly an additive mock up. Instruct your lab to prepare the teeth prior to the wax up to place the proposed contours in the precise location desired. Often the putty made from this will not fit onto unprepared teeth, hence the need to prep them first.

Thank you very much doctor for your effort .. if you dont mind sir in this .. the incisal reduction should be straight or inclined lingually … thank you sir

@StevensonDentalSolutions

Жыл бұрын

It may be perpendicular, sloped facially or sloped lingually, depending on the case. I usually try not to incline lingually because it will place a slight limitation on the line of draw which may lead to more tooth reduction. However, if lingual wear requires removal, then I'll incline lingually, instead of wrapping. My typical prep is parallel to the long access of the crown.

If there is fractured anterior teeth in the middle 3rd with pulp open, we proceed with RCT followed by composite build up in middle and incisal area. If we want to give veneers than can we give margin on composite on lingual aspect of the teeth or normal butt joint is sufficient??

@StevensonDentalSolutions

5 ай бұрын

Great question. In this situation, you will be best off extending the finish-line all the way to the gingival and the facial AND lingual - like a veneer crown. It's usually not a good predictor of longevity to leave veneer margins on composite, as this does not encase the clinical crown - It's wise to take advantage of both micro- and macro-mechanical retention and resistance forms.

What kinda veneer prep is apt for flurosis case

@StevensonDentalSolutions

3 жыл бұрын

If the fluorosis is deeply stained, grade 3, the veneer preps will require a deeper axial reduction and likely will need wrapping and e.max veneers. However, if the staining is Grade 1 or 2, normal veneers may work. After preparation, assess the color and reduce more if the area is deeply opaque or brown. Another consideration is enamel quality - frequently, fluorosis patients have enamel that will not provide the long term adhesive predictability we expect, hence, a lingual wrap may again be indicated. These are some of the most challenging cases and must be approached with caution and full disclosure to the patient. In other words, the patient must be advised that the final preparations may need to be much closer to full coverage and that opaque layers usually require greater layering and therefore more reduction.

@StevensonDentalSolutions

3 жыл бұрын

The LVS1 gives you 0.5 mm of reduction and the LVS2 gives you 0.3 mm of reduction. In general, the gingival 1/3 is 0.3, the middle 1/3 is 0.5 and the incised 1/3 is 0.7 mm. The incised reduction ranges from as little as 1.0 mm for cases not requiring much incised translucency characterization to as much as 2.0 mm in cases where a lot of characterization is required. I will show different burs to show how they work and what they may produce. To keep it simple, use the LVS2 for the gingival 1/3, then us the LVS1 with the tip in the middle 1/3 and estimate 0.7 mm in the incised 1/3. I hope this helps.
