This young man got hit by a wicked elbow in a friendly basketball game. Observe the discolored upper right central incisor.
Using CEREC technology, the pre-op contour of the tooth was captured with a 3-dimensional infra-red camera. The new restoration was designed and then milled out from a block of porcelain (shade A2).

The result is an all-porcelain crown that matches the shade of the adjacent teeth. Thanks to the CEREC technology, this process took 2.5 hours. The patient was thrilled.
