Case 2: E-max crown in 2.1
All ceramic restorations are considered the best in achieving the esthetics. e-max crowns are indeed 'Esthetic Maximum' crowns. Here is a case of discolored non vital 2.1 tooth which needed esthetic enhancement. Considering the crown length discrepancy and tooth being endodontically treated, I suggested for an E-max crown for the best esthetic result.



Shown below is the pre-op image of the clinical situation.





















The subsequent steps involving crown preparation, provisionalisation with Luxatemp provisionals followed by cementation and esthetic dental photography can be seen as follows.



The health of the gingiva and the location of finishline and the emergence from the soft-tissue are few aspects which need attention for an ideal mimicking crown restoration.





Definitive cementation was done with Variolink Resin cement - Translucent shade.
This case was done by me at Parasu Dental Hospital Chennai.

 Anterior esthetic zones are challenging. It requires proper planning and execution. In this case we see an endodontically treated 11 that fractured. 11 has a non esthetic PFM crown. The case was planned for an immediate implant with GBR and delayed loaded prosthesis. After the extraction and immediate placement, the jumping distance was grafted with Allograft cortico cancellous bone  Osteo-oss and primary closure achieved with an RTM Collagen barrier used. After 5 months tissue training was carried out with a provisional screw retained temporary.
