MULTI-UNIT CERAMICS · CASE 06

Restorative Harmony Across a Smile

This case documents a multi-tooth restorative sequence, from baseline smile and retracted views through diagnostic model work, preparation photographs and shade references, to later smile and intraoral views. The photographs provide a record of anterior contours, incisal-edge relationships and laboratory communication at several stages.

Original case photography. Clinical treatment is provided by the treating dentist; individual results vary.
