DirectCrown®
Bisacryl Technique |

The teeth were
prepared using a tooth-reduction bur utilizing a standard preparation
technique (Figure 4) and a laboratory
impression was taken. |

| 2. |
Select the appropriate
DirectCrown® shell that fits the prepared tooth. A size was selected
so that it would fit passively over the prepared tooth (and can be
modified if necessary). (Figure 5) The
excess buccal and lingual walls of the crown shell can be modified
to assure proper fit. |

A shade reading
of the patient's adjacent teeth were taken (Figure
6) and the appropriate powder shade (A-2) was selected to provide
the best possible shade match to the adjacent dentition. If working
with a hybrid acrylic resin, powder shades can be mixed together to
provide a better matching if necessary. |
