Planning and Rehabilitation of Unitary Crown for Element 36

Introduction

In this case, scanning was performed using the Itero equipment, which allowed for precise visualization of the gum colors, remaining teeth, and the preparation done by the dentist on the tooth to be rehabilitated. The planning was for the rehabilitation of a unitary crown for element 36, with the crown planned to be manufactured in lithium disilicate.

Materials and Methods

  • Equipment Used: Itero (intraoral scanning)
  • Planning Software: Exocad
  • Crown Material: Lithium disilicate
  • Objective: Planning for a unitary crown for element 36

Processes

  1. Initial Scanning:
    Scanning was performed with the Itero equipment, providing a detailed view of the gum colors and remaining teeth. It also allowed for the visualization of the preparation done by the dentist on element 36, ensuring accuracy in the planning of the unitary crown.

  1. Planning in Exocad:
    Using Exocad software, the unitary crown for element 36 was planned. The planning took into account the anatomy of the remaining tooth, the shape of the preparation, and the patient's functional and aesthetic needs.

  2. Crown Fabrication:
    The crown was planned to be manufactured in lithium disilicate, ensuring both strength and aesthetics in the final result. This material is ideal for providing high-quality adaptation and durability.
