Filling Replacement | Tooth Colored Restorations | Newmarket Dentist Auckland

Post by Dr. Clarence P. Tam, HBSc, DDS, FIADFE, AAACD

Happy Friday, Folks!

This case demonstrates the stark effects of dehydration on the restoration of this premolar.  One can appreciate that pre-operatively, the enamel is quite translucent and greyish.  Post-operatively, the restoration is exactly as we had shade matched it to the tooth, but the contrast is evident.  Bottom line: remember to stick to those guns, and hide your lighter shades =).

Peace out,
Clarrie x
