Introduction/Context/Diagnosis
I have a patient with Sjögren's Syndrome who presented to the clinic wanted to "fill her missing spaces and be able to smile again". She presented with decay/recurrent decay on almost every single tooth. We needed to address her dry mouth prior to proceeding with any restorative procedures. After working with her Primary, changing some medications, reinforcing oral hygiene habits, her oral health looked like a completely new person. We then proceeded to start with her restorative treatment. We decided on doing zirc crowns on: #5-14 & 28. We started with #5, 28, and then #14 via traditional impressions to keep posterior stops. Then we prepped and temped #6-13 at the same time and scanned with an itero for a digital final impression. Special thank you to: Dr. Sandy McLaren - 2BGPL, Dr. Karen Schulze - 2B Floor Faculty, and Carlos Correa - PSL. This case could not have been done without the help of these individuals. Thank you for your time, patience, and mentorship.
