Charles Goodacre: The impact of cervical contour, marginal fit, and surface smoothness on peri-implant mucosa

Correcting adverse soft tissue responses around crowns requires specific cervical contours coupled with surface smoothness and marginal fit.  This presentation will show how these morphologic principles have been used to correct adverse gingival reactions with crowns on natural tee...

Immediate loading in the edentulous mandible for CAD/CAM prostheses

A 72-year-old female patient was affected by the poor fit of her existing mandibular complete denture, especially the constant movement while chewing. The final treatment included a new maxillary complete denture and a mandibular implant fixed complete denture.

Single all-ceramic crown to replace discoloured right central incisor crown

A 56-year-old female patient was bothered by the darker shade of her right central incisor crown in comparison to the adjacent teeth. To fulfill the patient's need, a single-hand veneered zirconia crown was chosen as a treatment.

Implant- and tooth-supported central incisor crowns

A 22-year-old football player suffered from a traumatic injury which led to an avulsion of his maxillary left central incisor. The treatment selected was the placement of a single crown on tooth #11 FDI (#8 US) and a single implant to replace tooth #21 FDI (#9 US).

Maxillary and mandibular implant- and tooth-supported restorations

A 60-year-old male patient's chief complaint was that his bridges were loose. The treatment option was a 3-unit implant fixed partial denture and 3 single crowns on tooth abutments in the maxilla, and a conventional 6-unit fixed partial denture in the anterior mandible was chosen.

Single maxillary implant and crown with pink cervical porcelain

A 57-year-old female patient presented herself with a missing maxillary left central incisor and wanted a fixed replacement. A single implant and crown were used to replace the missing tooth with gingival-colored cervical porcelain to provide a more esthetic result.
