Implant dentistry and pink porcelain gums create lifelike final outcome in smile restoration after trauma<\/strong><\/p>\n

This patient had been been traumatized by a baseball as a child, causing him to lose one front tooth and badly damage another.\u00a0 At his initial consultation, he had a failing four-unit bridge connecting two seemingly healthy teeth to one badly damaged tooth.\u00a0 X-rays revealed that the three teeth under the four unit bridge were unsalvageable – he ultimately would be missing all four front teeth.<\/p>\n

As a result of the trauma causing loss of his front teeth, he also lost a great deal of bone and gum under the upper lip.\u00a0 On the models, the location of the implants can be seen, along with the large bony defect. \u00a0This type of smile restoration would require a multi-disciplinary approach to replace the missing teeth and other structures, as well as pink porcelain gums to conceal the gingival defect.<\/p>\n

The diagnostic wax-up was done in two colors to better visualize the future management of the aesthetic compromise of such a large defect. \u00a0Envisioning this type of smile restoration on a model like this enhanced the patient’s confidence in taking on this complex treatment plan.<\/p>\n

Four dental implants were placed into the upper jaw, and customized gold alloy implant-abutments were designed to correct the implant angulation.\u00a0 Finally, covering the abutments are splinted implant-crowns with a combination of white porcelain and pink porcelain were used to give the illusion of natural teeth and gums.<\/p>\n

Note the internal lab view: pink porcelain covers the top of all four porcelain crowns, thus extending the prosthetic material into natural contours at the gum-line.<\/p>\n
