CASE REPORT Fig. 33 Fig 33: Post-treatment panoramic image. Final porcelain fused-to-metal restoration on tooth # 10. At the time of removal of active orthodontic appliances, the impression for the fabrication of a more definitive crown was made. The final crown was placed in position and adjusted as necessary before cementation. At the time of delivery of the prosthetic crown, the removable Hawley retainer was adjusted. Tooth # 7 had been restored previ-ously with a direct bonded composite. In conclu-sion, all steps are important as they demonstrate a combination of periodontal, surgical and prosthetic procedures that combined to give the patient an anchored restoration for the ultimate enhancement of his quality of life. Our hope is that this article will give our colleagues one more tool in their armamentarium for the ultimate benefit of their patients. “Our hope is that this article will give our colleagues one more tool in their armamentarium for the ultimate benefit of their patients.” Fig 34: Post-treatment images with more than 1 year in final retention.
