Patient case: Individual anterior tooth crown made of VITAPM^®9

Patient case: Individual anterior crown of VITAPM®9

Following the creation of the master model, the crown is modeled in wax and then pressed with VITA PM 9. The VITA PM 9 crown is elaborated for individualization.

This patient case has a very individual incisal configuration. Therefore, it was characterized internally with VITA INTERNO materials prior to layering with the VITA ADD-ON materials.

For better control of the shape and surface texture, Francesco Ferretti applied a gold powder to the plaster and ceramic surface. This application causes both materials to have the same shade and brilliance. Details can be easily and selectively matched to the neighboring teeth.
