CEREC saves the day

My parents were heading out on the town with their best friends when they got a phone call canceling because his friend had broke his tooth. My dad had such a simple solution. "Go see my daughter! She can fix it in a day!!!" 

This can be a tricky situation. He has a dentist who did a full mouth rehab. It's amazing how much I have learned being a CEREC doctor and being involved in study clubs like Spear and Seattle Study Clubs. One thing that he causally mentioned was that his lower teeth kept breaking... Obviously this is not an ideal bite. 

So here is a plug for the virtual articulator. His previous crown broke exactly where it said it was going to. Such a smart computer we have!

I have no idea what material was used with his previous work, but I used e.max B1 LT for #23. I was excited about the match. I didn't adjust his other crowns at this point. Maybe someday. Today my job was to fix the broken tooth to get them out on their date night. This was single tooth dentistry, no staining or magic other than it was fixed in a few hours and I am confident that this one wont' break ;)
