creating a smile design patient Flashcards
diastema
1) can be caused by frenum attachment
peg lateral
1) abnormal formation
tooth size discrepancy
1) lack of height of contour
2) narrow teeth for mouth
make a patient
1) #7 reduction
- 0.5-1 mm
- lingual none
- incisal 2-2.5
- do not open mesial and distal
2) #10 peg lateral
- just make it teenytinee
- reduce everything
- lingual wax
esthetic case workflow
1) SOAP
2) records
3) simulated smile design
why do a smile design
1) helps you get the result you want
wax up
1) must be an additive process only
- do not take any stone away at first
2) if you need to take away stone due to misaligned teeth, use a duplicate model
order
1) patient
2) mounted model
3) wax up
4) duplicate cast
SSD the process
1) capture all the anatomy
2) capture teeth beyond the wax up
3) place notches at the gingiva of the putty
4) load the matrix
- place tip at incisal edge and fill facial surfaces only
- minimize flow towards lingual surface except on #10
5) allow it to shrink for 2.5 minutes
- clean excess
6) polish as needed
- smooth embrasures with treetop carbide
- make it esthetic and comfortable for patient
7) if you made changes take one with alginate impression
- become your new duplicate cast
for typodonts
1) put die lube on teeth and gums
important points
1) usually they do not wear it home
2) if they are unhappy and unrealistic
- you can walk away or raise your fee until they are worth dealing with
digital smile design
1) take their midline, horizon line, and transfer it to the intraoral photo
2) show them in photo form
how to conserve enamel
1) you can use SSD to bring smile anterior to conserve enamel
2) it is very important for veneer prep bonding
two uses for smile design
1) communication tooth
- show patient the outcome before you start, get feedback and commitment
2) prep guide
- aid dentist in conserving maximum amount of tooth structure
prep guide
1) you can make depth cuts into the bis-acrylic and it will tell you that you do not need to remove that much tooth
- mark the depth cuts, remove the acrylic
2) however, you DO need to make a margin
