SCD Case Study: May 2023

Dr. Claire O’ Connor

TRI matrix Case Study

This patient required the replacement of the missing lower posterior teeth on both sides of the arch to provide additional posterior support. His main concern was a functional deficiency with difficulty eating although secondary to this was an aesthetic issue in that he was concerned about the appearance of the missing lower teeth.

TrioClear – Clinical Case 3

Dr. Emma Dougherty & Dr. David Reaney

The patient presented requesting treatment to improve the appearance of her upper anterior teeth. She had a missing UL1 which had been replaced with a resinbonded bridge some years previously. The bridge pontic was much larger than the adjacent teeth and this was the main reason for presenting for treatment.

TrioClear – Clinical Case 2

Tomas Mortier

The patient consulted our practice for a second opinion. There was a need for an aesthetic and functional solution to the current situation. In particular, the patient wanted the very extreme crowding in the upper and lower jaw resolved.

TrioClear – Clinical Case 1

Composite Injection Technique (F.I.T.)
