Single Molar

Restoration of a single mandibular molar demonstrates how the use of a shoulder depth gauge and an aluminum oxide sleeve facilitates the predictability and execution of aesthetic all-ceramic crowns.

Categories: All-Ceramic Crowns

1. Second patient visit showing temporary abutment of the one stage immediate implant placement technique.
2. Implant well and soft tissue sulcus after removal of temporary abutment.
3. Abutment shoulder probe inserted into the well of the implant to determine the appropriate Bicon stealth shouldered abutment for a subgingival shoulder positioning.
4. A 5.0mm wide x 2.0mm high x 0° angle Bicon stealth shouldered abutment tapped into the well of the implant. By convention orientate the abutment to have a flat toward the buccal if possible
5. A snap-on 6.0mm emergence cuff and acrylic sleeve being seated for the fabrication of a temporary crown.
6. Temporary crown incorporating emergence cuff and acrylic sleeve.
7. A Bicon aluminum oxide sleeve inserted to act as an impression transfer prior to being incorporated into finished all-ceramic crown.
8. A Bicon aluminum oxide sleeve and an all-ceramic crown seated on an abutment analog.
9. Lingual view of all-ceramic crown. Note gingival aesthetics.
10. A finished all-ceramic crown built on a Bicon aluminum oxide sleeve.
11. A post-operative radiograph of a 6.0 x 5.7mm implant with a 5.0 x 2.0mm shouldered abutment and a all-ceramic crown built on a Bicon aluminum oxide sleeve. The Bicon aluminum oxide sleeve was intra-orally cemented on the third patient visit.
