Porcelain build up techniques and color mapping .

I morph the crown to the pt's original tooth pre prep scan instead of using the libraries.

You keep saying that but I don’t think that many people want a flat broken down tooth to replace their flat broken down tooth.

If it's broken I fix it. Yes, some are too far gone but there is valuable info from that scan.
I remember being at a lecture where the speaker said there are 2 types of patients.
Cows and rats . I just have to make sure I don't give a rats tooth to a cow.

The morph to pre-op scan is comically poor.
How can you get anything usable from it?

Personally I try to focus on contours and do minimal layering. Complicated builds = starving artist.
My # 1 technique 99% of the time is full contour design facial scooped out cut back,
Stain color and character to match.
Then a thin layer like a skin of incisal over.

Beautiful, do you mill full and then cut back or you designed it like that?
