Rethinking Esthetics: How to Restore a Challenging Case with Paint 3D

By Javier Corregidor, CDT

Esthetics in dental technology is more than just the reconstruction of shape and color, it is the art of the invisible. Efficiency, on the other hand, means achieving perfection with minimal effort.

The daily work of the dental technician moves between these two poles: the patient’s expectation of an esthetic, functional, durable result versus the necessity of working with reproducible and economical workflows.

The following case study shows how an extraordinary dental profile was successfully reconstructed using Paint 3D, a universal paint system from Sagemax that offers a time-efficient and reproducible workflow with outstanding color fidelity. It illustrates how complex esthetic challenges can be solved with a simplified workflow, without compromising naturalness and function.
