Looks good from the front. Again, for me, this is the only position that I want the implant to be for a screw-retained crown. Just enough clearance of the carrier occlusion. We're going to use a carrier to support the temporary crown. Here's another carrier that I've made retention grooves in and sandblasted. Even more occlusal clearance now. I'm going to use the extracted tooth for the temporary restoration. You can't normally do this because usually the extracted tooth is not something that's aesthetic enough to use. Drill out the pulp horns and remove the material where the implant carrier needs to go. Try it in for size. Seems to fit OK. Then etch, wash and dry, apply unfilled resin and light-cure. That's a big hole there-you can even see the implant itself. I don't want my composite resin going all the way up there. These collagen cubes are cheap. I'll shove one of these up by the implant to block that big hole up. That's looking better. Just one more thing to block up now before I can start making that temporary. A little PTFE tape in the screw hole of the carrier should do the trick. A tiny blob of composite to temporarily tack the hollowed-out crown in place. That should make the next stage a little easier. Now I can use a little flowable composite to attach the hollowed-out crown to the roughened-up carrier. Looks OK from this angle. But this angle shows just how much work there still is to be done. dentaltown.com \\ MARCH 2021 DT0321_MB1_Funcase.indd 19 19 2/18/21 10:46 AMhttp://www.dentaltown.com
