Summary:
The aesthetic appearance of the maxillary anterior dentition is determined by the relationship between the shape, contour, color, position, and arrangement of the teeth to the healthy labial gingiva and the interdental papillae. When restoring the anterior dentition, the objective of a harmonious natural appearance of the teeth, surrounded by healthy soft tissue, should be achieved through a controlled predictable treatment protocol. In periodontally compromised teeth, the prognosis of each tooth should be assessed during the provisional phase of the treatment in environmental conditions simulating the expected definitive rehabilitation. In such complex cases, the provisional restoration serves not only as a diagnostic tool, but also as a complementary treatment modality in redesigning the appearance of the soft tissue. This article demonstrates the rehabilitation protocol and the various treatment stages of six anterior maxillary teeth, utilizing reproducible and controlled techniques for the achievement of predictable biocompatible, functional, and aesthetic results.

Tissue Management for Aesthitc Success with Posterior Restorations
Due in part to the positive tissue response to metal-ceramic crowns fabricated with Captek™ substructures, clinicians can now provide an aesthetic restoration with healthy supporting periodontium for their patients. All indirect restorations, however, depend on an accurate impression of the preparation and proper tissue management throughout provisionalization. Even after careful tooth preparation, the restorative site often fills with blood, intracrevicular and intraoral fluids, and the delicate…
