Thus, a strategy for budget allocation must be clearly established for investment, maintenance, upgrades, and improvements—all of which are highly important and necessary even before adopting digital technology Our experience with digital disruption has revealed it to be exceedingly positive and exciting, since when carefully planned and executed, digital technology can produce meaningful rewards in all aforementioned aspects In this issue of Quintessence of Dental Technology, join me in discovering how digital disruption, when combined with art and science, can improve predictability, increase opportunities, and expand the breadth of esthetic oral rehabilitation to heights never before imagined Sillas Duarte, Jr, DDS, MS, PhD Editor-in-Chief sillas.duarte@usc.edu Yasser Magrami QDT 2016 for Personal Use Only Library of School of Dentistry,Tums How many new shades would it take to change your game?

technical and scientific knowledge to deliver high-quality, ultrathin bonded ceramic restorations.1,2 All esthetic treatments must be properly indicated to provide long-lasting restorations that not just create a beautiful smile, but also restore and maintain the oral health and function over time It is universally accepted that ceramic veneers bonded to intraenamel tooth preparations have higher survival rates.3 The mean thickness of enamel at the gingival third is 410 μm (0.410 mm) on the maxillary central incisor and 367 μm (0.367 mm) on the maxillary lateral incisor (Fig 1).4 Since traditional veneers have a chamfer gingival finish line with 0.5 mm of depth,5 dentin is exposed during the tooth preparation In other words, the enamel thickness at the gingival third does not permit a chamfer preparation of 0.5 mm depth.4 The long-term success and durability of ultrathin bonded ceramic restorations have been achieved due to the improvement of both ceramics and bonding systems.6 Nowadays, ultrathin bonded ceramic restorations, with 100 µm (0.1 mm) to 300 µm (0.3 mm) of thickness, can be fabricated to partially involve one or more tooth sur faces (ultrathin partial veneer) (Fig 2)7–9 or completely cover Fig 1 Maxillary central incisors showing less than 400 µm (0.4 mm) enamel thickness at the gingival third QDT 2016 the tooth facial surface (ultrathin veneer) (Fig 3).1,2,10,11 The main advantage of ultrathin ceramic restorations is tooth preservation, since minimal or no preparation is necessary Subgingival tooth preparation may cause gingival inflammation over time due to injuries from the operative procedures, presence of restorative materials, marginal gaps, overhangs, and roughness of the luting agents (Fig 4).12 However, if the veneer preparation is equigingival, the natural apical migration of gingiva may expose the adhesive luting interface and dark tooth substrates over time (Fig 5) In a 12-year longitudinal study evaluating the gingival recession on subjects with good oral hygiene, the recession increased from 44% to 88% in the group of 18- to 29-year-olds, mainly at incisors and canines.13 Moreover, wear of the adhesive luting interface of traditional veneers over time also raises both esthetic and biologic concerns (Fig 6).14 These depressions on the interface act as a niche for plaque,15 which could expedite the development of secondary caries as well as gingival inflammation by retaining periodontal pathogens.16 The aim of part of this article is to give the clinician step-by-step guidelines for properly selecting, planning, executing, and delivering ultrathin bonded ceramic restorations Novel Guidelines for Bonded Ceramic Veneers: Part Is Tooth Preparation Truly Necessary? 2a 2b for Personal Use Only

and the contact with natural teeth verified, etching and bonding procedures can be performed Figs 7b to 7d Only the coronal part of the teeth (where the mock-up will be bonded) is involved The coronal part of the index should be inserted slowly in order to allow the excess resin to flow away Fig 7e The MSI has to be kept in place until the resin is completely hardened Fig 7f Occlusal-functional mock-up after finishing procedures Occlusal-Functional Mock-up The mock-up was pressed and adhesively bonded on the mandible by using the MSI, after having cleaned the tooth surface with a slurry of pumice After checking stability and fit of both apical and coronal parts of the MSI, the coronal part was filled with diacrylic resin (Protemp 4, 3M) All adhesive procedures are shown in Fig After removing the MSI, the excess resin was easily removed using a knife, and surfaces were finished and polished by using a dedicated handpiece and tips (Contra-angle with Intra EVA head, Kavo) Static occlusion, dynamics, and phonetics were immediately checked, and eventually fine adjustments were done Prophylactic instructions were delivered to the patient, who was asked to brush her teeth normally and use interproximal soft-silicone brushes and a fluoride solution for rinsing.25 The patient was also asked not to change her usual chewing habits in order to test the masticatory effectiveness of the mock-up and the comfort of the new occlusal design After placing the mock-up, the interarch relationship, smile line, relationship between the maxillary incisors and lower lip, and the profile of the patient looked more natural and harmonious (Figs and 9) At this step, the new VDO was clinically registered (Fig 10) QDT 2016 213 PERAKIS ET AL Fig 8a Intraoral view after placement of the mock-up Fig 8b The smile line and the relationship between the maxillary incisors and lower lip look more natural and harmonious 8a 8b for Personal Use Only Library of School of

mock-up in situ, a small amount of resin is placed on the margin of the maxillary incisors and the CR position is recorded at the VDO that was tested over the previous months 12a 12b Clinical Evaluation The first recall was performed the next day The patient indicated that she had experienced no pain and no muscle tension with the mock-up in place She noted that the new occlusion felt better to her For this reason, future recalls were set to take place every weeks for the next months, which was the total time for this diagnostic step 214 QDT 2016 At the 2-month recall, the mock-up was still intact with no wear facets nor chippings (Fig 11) The occlusal contacts were still homogeneously distributed and did not show any variations In addition, the new VDO was maintained, thus proving that the new occlusal design was well accepted by the patient The definitive restorations could now be planned A Minimally Invasive Restorative Approach for Treatment of Gingival Impingement

correct VDO 14a Registration of the Interarch Relationship The first, very important step was to register the position of the mandible (CR) at the evaluated VDO and transfer it to the articulator for mounting of the definitive casts The anterior jig technique was used, as it is accurate and not time-consuming (Fig 12) The jig was fabricated clinically in the mouth using autocuring acrylic resin (Pattern resin, GC) The jig allowed the dentist to: (1) check the thickness of final restorations at the new VDO during teeth preparation (by holding the jig in the right position); (2) make sure that the provisional restorations did not vary from the mock-up regarding VDO and occlusal contacts; and (3) proceed with the definitive cast mounting at the new VDO Teeth Preparation Lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (IPS e.max Press, Ivoclar Vivadent) occlusal veneers were fabricated to restore the 14b posterior teeth This material has an elastic modulus of 95 ± GPa and a flexural strength of 400 ± 40 MPa, which makes it ideal for fabricating partial restorations with a heat-press technique The ideal thickness of lithium disilicate restorations has been discussed in several studies.26–29 Thanks to the patient’s increased VDO and to the consequently augmented interocclusal space, as much tooth structure as possible could be preserved, thus yielding minimally invasive preparations A minimal thickness of 1.5 to mm was provided in order to benefit from the mechanical properties of the material itself The mock-up and the anterior jig were used to guide the preparations, using a similar technique as presented by Gurel for laminate veneers30 (Figs 13 and 14) Once the geometry of the cavity had been defined, dentin was sealed as recommended by Magne,31 who demonstrated that “immediate dentin sealing” may improve the long-term survival of ad- QDT 2016 215 PERAKIS ET AL 15a 15b 15c Figs 15a to 15c (a, b) Old restorations have been removed where necessary and (c) composite build-ups

16a 16b Figs 17a and 17b Registration of the interarch relationship is very straightforward in this case Using the anterior jig to maintain the correct interarch relationship (CR at the VDO tested), only two posterior jigs are used to stabilize the occlusion in the posterior region 17a 17b hesively bonded restorations by significantly increasing the bond strength between restorative material and tooth structure Furthermore, this approach has been observed to protect dentin from contamination during the provisional phase and to reduce postoperative sensitivity Old fillings were removed and, where necessary, a composite build-up was performed to reestablish an optimal cavity geometry in order to eliminate undercuts and guarantee a consistent thickness of the restorations, and allow good stability of the restorations during try-in and luting procedures (Fig 15) After checking the thickness by keeping the anterior jig in place, a 45-degree bevel was prepared on the coronal third of the vestibular surface in order to get an ideal esthetic integration of the restorations 216 QDT 2016 A final polymerization under glycerin gel was carried out before taking impressions to eliminate the oxygeninhibition layer and prevent interaction with the impression material.32,33 The impression of the mandible was taken with a polyvinyl siloxane material (Fig 16) The impression of the maxilla was not taken at this stage, since the maxillary cast had already been mounted onto the articulator For this reason, any further registrations were not necessary Only two posterior jigs were used for support in the posterior regions, while the anterior jig maintained the correct interarch relationship (Fig 17) A Minimally Invasive Restorative Approach for Treatment of Gingival Impingement Fig 18a Provisional restorations are fabricated using the same MSI used for the mock-up At this stage, interproximal spaces are closed by placing and curing a small amount of resin (Telio Universal, Ivoclar Vivadent), in order not to let the resin chosen for the provisional restorations (Protemp 4, 3M ESPE, A3 color) flow into those spaces, as well as food residuals, which could provoke gingival inflammation for Personal Use Only Library of School of Dentistry,Tums 18a 18b 18c Fig 18b The spot-etch technique is used to guarantee retention of the provisionals A small amount of 37% phosphoric acid is applied in a selected point for 30 seconds After rinsing and drying, a small drop of bonding material (Optibond FL, Kerr) is applied with a brush and light-cured for 20 seconds The etching area has to be clearly visible, since bonding material has to be removed and the etched area perfectly cleaned before final cementation Fig 18c Immediately afterward, provisionals are fabricated directly (Protemp 4, 3M ESPE, A3 color) Provisional Restorations Provisional restorations were fabricated using the same silicone index that was used to place the mock-up; this allowed duplication of the occlusal design that the patient had found to be comfortable Provisional restorations could be pressed and cemented simultaneously using the spotetch technique The procedures for provisional cementation are described in detail in Fig 18 (Fig 20) Completed wax-ups were then sprued and invested, followed by burnout and pressing, strictly following the manufacturer’s instructions (Fig 21) After pressing, the restorations were devested, sandblasted, and placed in a dissolving liquid to eliminate the surface reaction layer The lithium disilicate overlays were then cut from the sprues and checked for fit, marginal integrity, and accuracy on the working cast (Fig 22) Laboratory Procedures Bisque Bake Try-in After receiving all pertinent diagnostic and case information from the dentist, the laboratory technician could manufacture the definitive restorations (IPS e.max Press, MT Ingots, A3 shade) Two casts made of type IV gypsum were obtained: one working cast with segments and a solid cast, which remains intact, that was subsequently used to check the contact area during bisque try-in and after glazing A matrix was prepared from the diagnostic wax-up and an organic wax was injected for contouring (Fig 19) Afterward, the shape was refined and margins were sealed The restorations were sent to the dentist for the bisque bake try-in The provisionals and adhesive residuals were removed using a scaler (M23, Deppeler) and teeth were polished (Depurdent, Ogna) Fit and contact points were eval uated for each restoration individually before testing occlusion (Fig 23a) A thin layer of a temporary resin cement (Temp Bond Clear, Kerr) was applied on the restorations to keep the position stable during evaluation of static and dynamic occlusion (Fig 23b) QDT 2016 217 PERAKIS

cusps Before delivering the restorations to the dentist for placement, they were glazed and polished The interproximal contact areas were checked on the solid cast (Figs 24 and 25) After removing the provisional restorations, teeth were cleaned (Depurdent, Ogna) and restorations were tried in and accurately checked before final seating All restorations were adhesively cemented using a three-step total-etch adhesive system (Optibond FL, Kerr) and a microhybrid composite (Empress Direct, Ivoclar Vivadent) For pretreatment of the restorations (Fig 26), the lithium disilicate was etched with 5%

dam was placed for isolation Since the dentin had been previously hybridized, treatment of the teeth could proceed as follows (Fig 27): sandblasting the composite build-up (Cojet System, 3M ESPE), etching with a 37% phosphoric acid for 40 seconds, rinsing for 20 seconds, and drying The primer was applied on the teeth, whereas the bonding material was placed both on the teeth and restorations without curing in order not to interfere with seating After removing excess composite resin, each surface was cured for 90 seconds.35 A final polymerization was carried out for 20 seconds on each surface under glycerin gel Finishing and polishing were performed very easily, with a thin scaler on the vestibular/lingual areas and diamond strips on the interproximal areas, respectively All the restorations were placed individually using the same procedures (Fig 28) The rubber dam was then removed and the occlusion eventually checked (Fig 29) At least one contact per tooth was obtained (Fig

the mandibular anterior teeth were stabilized with an intracoronal splint and the maxillary arch with a vacuum-formed retainer (Figs 32 and 33) Control and Follow-up After week, the restorations appeared well integrated, and the patient was satisfied with the esthetics and function The relationship between the maxillary incisors and lips was significantly improved, and the mucosa on the retro incisal area appeared healthier (Fig 34) At the 1-year recall, the clinical situation appeared stable (Figs 35 and 36) The recessions on the palatal aspect of the maxillary incisors were drastically improved (Fig 37) CONCLUSIONS The treatment of gingival impingement due to the overeruption of mandibular incisors and canines in Class II/I adult patients is very challenging and must be carefully evaluated by the dental team A multidisciplinary approach involving orthodontics, orthognathic surgery, and restorative procedures guarantees the best and most stable clinical outcome Nevertheless, patients often refuse this complex option because of the cost and the time required 222 QDT 2016 for treatment, or due to fear of the surgical intervention In such cases, the minimally invasive restorative approach described in this article can be considered as an alternative to the “ideal” multidisciplinary treatment Raising the VDO in Class II/I patients has to be carefully evaluated, as the clockwise rotation of the mandible that can occur with this procedure may worsen the occlusal clinical situation and create functional problems For this reason, it is important that the clinician evaluate the new VDO and occlusal schemes during the diagnostic steps before starting the treatment The occlusal-functional mock-up, which is directly bonded to the teeth, allows the patient to test function, phonetics, and esthetics in a very early diagnostic phase The presented technique is simple, economical, and timesaving Furthermore, patients can experience the new situation without the burden of a removable occlusal splint After the prosthetic phase has been accomplished, the position of the anterior teeth must be stabilized; if missing good contact with the opposing arch, the mandibular incisors could re-erupt, leading to a relapse of the gingival impingement The retention device has to be carefully evaluated with the orthodontist before starting the prosthetic rehabilitation An adhesively bonded fiber-reinforced intracoronal splint is very effective to stabilize the position of mandibular anterior teeth, whereas a thin acrylic vacuumformed retainer can be
