Case Planning
After examination during a routine hygeine visit, patient was shown digital photographs of the defective alloy resotration on #3. After careful consideration, we elected to replace that alloy and the first bicuspid. Patient had no symptoms before replacement, but may have started to if restoration was not performed.
Result
After following up with patient, she had no symptoms after the restorations were placed.
 |
Amalgams on #3 and #5 in need of replacement. |
 |
MO cavity preparation on #3 and DO on #5 following caries removal. |
 |
SureFil® SDR® flow material has been placed to the level of the DEJ and light cured for 20 seconds in 35, and is being placed in number 3. The narrow cannula allows for precise placement and excellent cavity adaptation. The flow of the material promotes self-leveling and does not require manipulation. |
 |
The restorations have been completed with placement of a 2mm layer of EsthetX HD. A body shade has been used and presents adequate opacity for a pleasing esthetic result |
