Case: 12546 Category: Inlays and Onlays Gender: Male Skin Tone: Medium Description: This Patient presented to our New York city office with pain on biting and sensitivity to hot and cold. This is a classic presentation of a fractured tooth. Often, the fractures are not clearly visible and may not show up at all on x-ray. We must diagnose this entirely by symptoms present. |
After photos were taken 1 Month after surgery.

Details: Here the fracture is evident. Once the whole pre-existing amalgam filling is removed, the remaining tooth structure is reinforced by overlaying the top. This acts like a shoe to confine the tooth and make it harder to fracture in the future. The beauty of this type of restoration, is that it is a conservative white bonded restoration. It restores the tooth back to almost its original strength. | |
