we are going to restore teeth # 8 #9

I would use an MO O ingot for that, stain the coping and fully layer.

Why chance it? what would you gain with LT on this.

not sure -
i was hoping to just do an incisial cut back
didnt want to have to layer both teeth entirely

Or mabey an HO1.

With the desired shade, might even be able to get away with using Impulse V1.

TBH ive pretty much given up on partial layering.

can get an OK result with it but fully layered stuff just looks sooo much better.

Another neat little technique thats being used now:

Press a HO thimble coping, then press an LT coping to go over the top. You could then do a LT cut back tecnique and have the HO coping stained to the colour you want under to mask the stump.

The thimble HO coping is then bonded to the tooth and then the crown bonded to the HO coping

Im gonna be trying this when i get the right case come along. I can see it being really useful for a bleech case with dark stumps where i can have like a HO stained coping with maybe HT emax over the top. This would give the opaque core inside and trans everywhere else like you commonly get with bleached teeth.

Just as guess as we havnt seen it in the mouth, but the midline looks really canted at the minute??

Maybe it will line up ok in the mouth.
