To better predict results on highly aesthetic cases and meet patient and doctor expectations, I compiled a checklist of the items needed to achieve these objectives.
- Detailed lab prescription expressing goals of patient and doctor
- Model of pre-op
- Photos of pre-op teeth, with shade guide from different angles
- Photos of preps, with stump shade tabs
- Photos of temporaries (if custom), full face including eyes
- Photos of temporaries (if custom), eye to chin relaxed lip position
- Bite registration, with face bow
- Measurement of bone to margin depth, mesial, buccal/labial, distal of each tooth being restored
- Model of temporaries
- Indicate the desired length of final restorations
