Prepping Four Maxillary Incisors for Veneers - Dental Minute with Steven T. Cutbirth, DDS

[@FL-gg4dq]

I think you make a really good philosophical point about not making the patients problem your problem. Patients tend to think in a certain way and place blame

[@centerforard]

Exactly. Never perform any procedure you cannot stand behind.

[@JordanJSparks]

fantastic video, very well spoken and well versed in using proper terminology, I felt like I was getting a free university lecture. Very modest preps! This makes me feel comfortable if I ever choose to get veneers.

[@centerforard]

Great. Glad the video was helpful.

[@fenkicorp]

Great work! Also really nice touch with the armadillo model!

How interesting. So many different terms and phrases now, like "I will reach out to you" vs "I will call you." I like things simple, and "biologic width" is simpler to me than ""supracrestal tissue."

By todays Standards this is excesive prep

[@centerforard]

What is the reason you would make that comment? I will not go into the multiple reasons why this is the best prep for veneers. Are you advocating no prep? Once the teeth are prepared, there is no going back, so you should prepare the teeth in a way that the veneers are, according to the studies and most experts in the field, the strongest and most aesthetic.

Did patient feels sensitivity during and after preparation

No sensitivity at all because I provide painless and profound local anesthesia. Watch my videos on local anesthesia in the library of DMC.com.

[@diegolimoeiro5187]

Hi Doctor! I am enjoying all the library videos as a student DMC. Do you send also a facebow / photos to the technician for him to do the wax up model?

[@centerforard]

Yes, I mount the models with a face bow to ensure the incisal plane is the same as the incisal plane is the same on the articulator as it is in the patient's mouth.

[@GTHEPROF]

Seems like such a heavy prep especially inter-proximally. They are extremely tapered. Could you have left more tooth inter-proximally?

[@centerforard]

They are not extremely tapered. The preps are in enamel and the taper is just barely more than needed for the preps to draw. It is critical that the veneer "draw" onto the tooth. Veneers are as strong as natural teeth if done properly and once they are cemented. They are very fragile, however, prior to seating. You do not want to try to seat a veneer if the prep does not draw. I wonder if you have done many veneers. If you had, you would know how technical it is to have an entire veneer prep, and especially several adjacent veneers, draw. It takes considerable time preparing the tooth/teeth and viewing with a large occlusal mirror.

[@GTHEPROF]

@@centerforard Thanks for the reply. I don’t like to break contacts if possible, to preserve the tooth structure. That’s how it’s done in Europe. Can you define what you mean by the term “draw”? That’s a term I have not come across.

Yes, always prepare veneers this way. This method produces the strongest and most aesthetic result. Be sure the patient has a Nightguard and understands correct home care.

Hi Doc, thank you for posting When prepping to bring teeth back into the arch alignment, do you still prep them for 0.3 mm at the gingival third or would you have to go deeper in that part too and end up probably in dentin?

[@centerforard]

You should not have to prep the gingival 1/4rh of the tooth (margin) more than a shallow marginal prep. after prepping the facial malalignment back into the proper arch alignment. If the malalignment is significant, then orthodontic treatment may be indicated prior to veneer preparation and placement. Take your practice to the Top Tier.

[@rohannejaneticao8737]

Hi doc . I've been watching your videos about veneers . Can I ask for a photo of the final prepared teeth? Because if I look at some videos about tooth preperation for veneera their margins are very distinct especially interproximally compared to yours.

[@centerforard]

Im not sure what you are asking for that you did not see on the video. The interproximal/palatal margins of the anterior teeth are 90 degree angle. The interproximal/facial margins are rounded. Read the studies by Magne and Douglas on "Wrapping," or read the study in the technical article library in DentistryMasterClasses.com if you want more information on the veneer preparation design.

[@josephryanmabaquiao4825]

hi doc i have been doing this kind of prep my only concern is sensitivity after cementation of veneers

[@centerforard]

There should be minimum sensitivity because the preps are normally completely in enamel and you are blocking any dentinal tubules, if there is gingival recession, with the primer adhesive. If there is dentin exposed from gingival recession, prepare minimally into the dentin, i.e., just barely roughen that part of the prep. If you prepare 0.5-1mm into dentin, that might cause tooth sensitivity and require endodontics. Take your practice to the Top Tier.

If patient shows bruxism during the day, how would you protect the veneers especially the anteriors, from fracturing?

[@centerforard]

You cannot. Instruct the patient to hummmmm, without making the humming sound. This places the lips together and the teeth apart.

In this case did you do wrap around preps or incisal butt preps?

Incisor butt. Round the incisor/facial and incisor inter proximal line angles. Leave the incisor palatal and inter proximal palatal line angles 90 degrees. Don't round those line angles.

Hi Dr Steven, I have a slight issue. one of my gum on the left side, between the central incisor and lateral incisor has been slightly damaged because I bit into a sharp bone, gum is slighly cut on the bottom so it looks like its about to fall out. It kind of affects my smile aswell since I have straight teeth and rest of my gums are fine, I was wondering how this can be fixed as it really makes me self conscious.

[@centerforard]

Anything can be fixed. Sorry I can't diagnose your condition or suggest treatment without examining you. Go see a good dentist or periodontist.

May i request a lecture about Non prep veneer vs prep veneer?. Thanks.

[@centerforard]

I do not like non-prep veneers at all! I have been to a seminar on non-prep veneers and seen several cases come into my office. Common sense tells you if you do not remove some tooth structure and you place a restoration on the non-prepped tooth, the restored teeth are going to look large, like "horse teeth," and that is exactly what they look like!
