The patient, a 38 year old male presented with an unsightly MOBL mercury amalgam filling. The patient wanted improved esthetics but did not want to have a crown placed because of the amount of tooth structure that would be lost.

CEREC Solution:
Treatment consisted of a single visit CEREC Onlay. An MOBL Onlay designed in Correlation Mode was chosen to preserve the remaining cusps using a Vita 1M1C block. The value of the restoration was chose slightly higher that the natural tooth to allow for lowering and increase of chroma.. The restoration was characterized with Vita Akzent stains, Akz 03, Akz 10, Akz 20 and glaze. The Onlay was adhesively placed with Excite and Variolink II.

Total time was approximately 90 minutes.
