Pre-operative Situation
You can see the old, leaking composite restoration, with carious breakdown under the margins.
-
Isolation and Preparation
Rubber-dam (Nic-Tone Medium) placement followed by careful caries removal and tooth preparation.

Immediate Dentin Sealing (IDS)
Application of bonding agent (Optibond FL) directly to fresh dentin to protect the pulp and enhance adhesion.
-
Design and Printing
Digital scan (Trios 3) → CAD design of the overlay (Exocad) → LCD printing with Ackuretta Sol of a high-ceramic-filled Pac-dent Rodin Sculpture 2.0 resin restoration.

Characterization and Staining
Fast, three-minute staining protocol to mimic natural enamel and dentin nuances using Micerium, Vita, Ivoclar and Estelite color stains.
