GUIDED PROSTHETICS DELIVERY

IMPROVEMENTMeeting patient expectations in dentistry has become increasingly competitive, as advertising, consumer knowledge, and technology combine to raise the bar on what is considered satisfactory. Patients want maximum quality, but with minimal time and preparation, culminating in long-lasting, esthetic restorations.

In today's environment, traditional preparations have many time-consuming disadvantages, such as inadequate tooth reduction, over-reduction of tooth structure, inadequate buildups, indistinct margins, and more.

Fortunately, there are new tools at hand to help you circumvent these issues. You can now leverage technology to prepare and seat veneers, bridges, and crowns in a single visit (eliminating one appointment entirely and the need for temporaries), while delivering consistently outstanding results with high-quality materials.

THE FIRSTFIT GUIDED PROSTHETICS DELIVERY SYSTEM utilizes the latest digital technology to provide dental practices with 3D-printed preparation guides and final ready-to-seat restorations at the same time.

• Minimally invasive

• Quick procedure

• Innovative technology

• No temporaries

• Saves healthy tooth structure

Introduction to the FirstFit Guided Veneer SystemWATCH

THE TECHNOLOGYUsing proprietary CAD software, a designer creates a digital preparation for the tooth using a series of FirstFit preparation guides, while also creating the veneers, bridge, or crown to fit this preparation.

A SINGLE-VISIT VENEER SYSTEM

The FirstFit Veneer System combines 3D-printed preparation guides with a unique delivery tray to provide step-by-step guidance through the preparation and placement of up to 10 veneers at one time. Significantly reduce chair time by using the delivery tray instead of placing veneers one at a time.

• The delivery tray provides full visibility of the veneers, so seating, angulation, and the margins are all perfectly aligned.

• The system eliminates any over-reduction and ensures teeth are reshaped to exact specifications for the veneers.

• Individually crafted all-ceramic veneers produced using CAD/CAM technology ensures quality, fit, function, and esthetics are consistent.

THE FIRSTFIT GUIDED BRIDGE DELIVERY SYSTEM allows you to treat patients with missing teeth while enabling you to limit the reduction of the adjacent healthy teeth. Using the FirstFit Bridge System, you can now prep and seat in the same appointment, eliminating temporaries required for traditional treatment procedures.

• Prep and seat in as little as 20 minutes.

• Solution for treating patients with missing teeth who are hesitant about or cannot afford an implant.

• Computer-aided design ensures that precise preparations remove the least amount of your adjacent healthy teeth.

A MORE EFFECTIVE PROCESSCase Presentation by Ross W. Nash, DDS

A patient presented missing a mandibular first premolar and was aware that her other teeth were moving but did not want to wear a removable appliance and could not afford an implant. To give her a minimally invasive option, I proposed the FirstFit Bridge System, which is manufactured using Zirlux Zirconia and would require only small inlay preparations on the healthy abutment teeth. The preparations would be prepared during the same appointment as the seating of the final restoration, making it convenient for the patient.

A bite registration and full upper and lower impressions were taken with a polyvinyl impression material. These were sent to the dental laboratory along with preoperative photographs and an x-ray showing both abutment teeth. The laboratory fabricated both the final restoration and the preparation guide. The zirconia bridge can be seen on the printed model in Figure 1.

At the delivery appointment, the guide was inserted into the patient’s mouth and the special FirstFit handpiece was used to prepare the two inlay rests with the diamond bur provided by the laboratory (Figure 2). The prepared rest seats can be seen in Figure 3 and the bridge that was bonded in place can be seen in Figure 4. A radiograph of the FirstFit bridge in place is shown in Figure 5.

By using the FirstFit System, we were able to replace a patient’s mandibular first molar in a minimally invasive way, allowing for other procedures in the future should they be needed or desired.

LEARN MORECAN I USE MY OWN HANDPIECE? No. The FirstFit handpiece has been specifically designed with the correct torque and is the only one suitable for this technique.

WHAT TYPE OF IMPRESSION DO YOU RECOMMEND? Digital impressions and Clinicians Choice have proven to be efficient solutions for the FirstFit System. Any brand of polyvinylsiloxane impression material that provides a clear impression can be used.

IS THERE ANYTHING I NEED TO DO WITH THE GUIDES BEFORE USING THEM ON A PATIENT? We recommend submerging all guides in warm water for approximately 20–40 seconds per guide, which makes the guides easier to use and flexible. You should also verify that the bur is securely locked into the FirstFit handpiece before inserting it into the guide.
