How To Order Evident Crown & Bridge with Fabrication – Featuring Derby Dental Lab

September 21, 2024

You can now get your Evident Crown & Bridge designs fabricated by using one of our preferred fabrication partner. This allows you to have more control on your cases and provides an end-to-end connected solution for efficiency.

Here are three simple steps:

Step 1. Gather Information During the Patient Visit (Record Appointment)

1.1 Capture Intra-oral Scans from Your Patient

Utilize intraoral scans to create a digital impression of your patient’s mouth. Three scans are required to ensure comprehensive and accurate data for treatment planning.

Full Upper Arch: A complete scan of the upper teeth and gums.

Full Lower Arch: A complete scan of the lower teeth and gums.

Bite: Make sure to scan the full arch for the most accurate bite registration.

Note: Double check if the bite is misaligned. Ensure the scan clearly captures the sub-gingival margin lines

1.2 Compile Your Patient’s Treatment Plan Information

After completing your patient record appointment, you will need to gather and organize essential details for the treatment plan.

Follow these steps to ensure you have all the necessary information.

Collect Patient Demographics:
– Patient’s name
– Contact information
– Date of birth

Document the Chief Complaint:
– Understanding the patient’s primary concern (e.g., pain, discomfort, wear) can help tailor the crown & bridge design to address their specific needs.

Summarize Diagnostic Findings:
– Results from the clinical exam
– Intraoral photos
– Radiographs
– Any other pertinent diagnostic tests

Record Treatment Goals:
document the patient’s expectations for the crown and bridge treatment.
This may include:
– Improved aesthetics (e.g., color, shape, alignment)
– Restored function (e.g., chewing ability, speech)
– Increased confidence in their smile
Discuss Long-Term Goals: Ensure the current treatment aligns with the patient’s overall oral health goals.

Once you have compiled all this information, you are ready to submit the case to Evident.

No: If no gingival modification is necessary, choose this option.

Vertical Dimension for Occlusion:

Keep Existing: Maintain the patient’s current occlusal vertical dimension (OVD).

Open Bite: If an open bite is present, select this option to indicate the need for OVD adjustment.

Make Ideal: If the patient’s OVD is not ideal and needs correction, choose this option.

Restoration Type:

PMMA: Select this option for a provisional (temporary) restoration made from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).

Final: Choose this option for the definitive restoration, typically made from materials like zirconia, porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM), or lithium disilicate.

Max Preferred Length of Centrals:

Ideal: Select this option if the patient’s existing central incisor length is aesthetically pleasing and does not require modification.

Other: If the patient desires a different length or if the existing length needs adjustment for functional or aesthetic reasons, select this option. Specify the desired length in millimeters in the space provided.

If you choose “No”, you will be directed to the Evident Fabrication landing page.

Do you have an existing wax-up to follow?

Yes: If wax-up has been created to guide the restoration design, select this option. Provide the wax-up STL file

No: Choose this option if you will be designing the restoration digitally without wax-up.

Occlusal Contact:

Tight: Select this option if you want the restoration to have very close contact with the opposing teeth during occlusion.

Zero: Choose this option for no contact between the restoration and the opposing teeth during occlusion.

Relief: If you want a slight gap between the restoration and the opposing teeth to prevent excessive force, select this option.
