Suns Out Guns Out: Extraction, Immediate, Telio Legacy 2 Case

Dentistry By Braille: CEREC Guide 2 Legacy 4 Immediate 7mm Molar
I really don’t know how I did this case. Way in the back, patient on Halcyon couldn’t keep open, plus he had limited opening. Oh well, gotta keep going!. Non restorable #15, perfect case for CEREC Guide 2. Again, always try to get a full arch you never know how much coverage you can get…
