Chris - Composite and the Orthodontic Case

IMPORTANT: This module will need to be completed by December 31, 2024, to receive full CE credit. Please reach out to your Customer Success Manager for alternative options. Chris presented with a chief complaint of very sensitive front teeth. The case is a severe anterior wear case secondary to parafunction and a deep bite. He is bimaxillary protrusive, although with a marginal skeletal discrepancy. The case was beautifully treated with an orthodontic and a restorative solution although the discussion of orthognathic surgery is valid for this case.

This is a case that is easily treated by most GP's with some advance planning and partnering with an orthodontist. The restorative discussion revolves around the pre-case planning, using composite to make the orthodontic treatment easier and more predictable, and when the final restorations need to be completed.

Chris has provisional composites that were never converted to porcelain because he moved away.

Learning Objectives:

• Restorative help for orthodontic cases
• Using composite to simplify orthodontics
• Orthodontics vs. Orthognathics
