Clinical Procedure

The Emprethin™ Veneer is a pressed ceramic that can be fabricated at approximately 0.2-0.4mm. In many, cases a traditional preparation is unnecessary. Margins are optional however some clinicians find it useful as a positive seat verification. The following is an illustration of the cementation sequence of Emprethins utilizing a traditional wax up and overlay technique to “try in” the new look. This is an example of a case that is truly no prep with a stunning after result.

Success lies in proper case selection.

Ideal Indications

  • Color Change with uniform arch shade
  • Collapsed Buccal corridor
  • Small spaces or diastemas
  • Limited tetracycline and fluorosis cases
  • Direct "resin bonding" replacement
  • Minor rotation requiring enamelplasty with Arch Aligners™


Contraindications

  • Rotation or crowding
  • Buccal displaced teeth
  • Severely lingualized teeth
  • Bell Shaped or flared teeth

Once case has been received, account specialist will contact the doctor to discuss recommendations. If ideal results can be obtained, doctor will have choice of wax up fabrication or Emprethin fabrication based on goals and Rx.

Note: Incisal translucency is dependant on the amount of length being added. To achieve the most natural and requested translucency incisal reduction of .5mm more than requested is required.
