Suprinity for Amelogenesis Imperfecta

Suprinity by Vita was super-fantastic with this amelogenesis imperfecta case.    This was a young woman who always hated her teeth, but has a bigger-than-life personality.   Her dad was so sweet to get these for her as a gift.    It was emotional for all of us.

We broke the case up into three sections 4-6, 11-13, and 7-10.   They were all completed in one visit and bonded with Variolink Esthetic.

What I love about Suprinity:   it has a very life-like opalescence and vitality.    The 0M1 HT is a spectacular bleach shade that isn’t too much or too little.  It is just right.  

What I don’t like about Suprinity:  milling can be an issue with chipping.   While the literature doesn’t say this, my eyes see something differently.  I don’t think it is clinically significant, but I did mill another veneer at a different insertion axis to correct some variances of a margin.    Just make sure that the margins are prepared as shown below, and make your insertion axis in the long axis of the tooth.
