Lab Protocol for Single Anterior Screw-Retained Implant: Custom Shade Matching and Cementation

Slide 1 – Title Title: Single Interior Implant: Custom Shade Matching & Final Cementation Subtitle: Clinical and Laboratory Workflow by LSK121 Oral Prosthetics (Include your logo or patient photo if available.) ⸻ Slide 2 – Case Overview • Single anterior implant restoration • Custom shade matching performed directly from patient’s mouth • Coordination between clinical and lab procedures • Focus: esthetics, accuracy, and function ⸻ Slide 3 – Step 1: Shade Matching (Ceiling Cap Method) • Remove ceiling cap from patient’s mouth • Evaluate under different lighting conditions (natural, ceiling, and daylight) • Capture reference photos and note adjacent tooth hue and value • Use LSK121 shade tabs or custom guide for comparison ⸻ Slide 4 – Step 2: Laboratory Preparation • Bring ceiling cap and photos back to the laboratory/apartment • Create custom crown with internal characterization and surface texture • Verify under lab lighting against shade map • Make fine adjustments based on patient photos ⸻ Slide 5 – Step 3: Crown Try-In in Patient’s Mouth • Seat the crown intraorally • Check margin fit, occlusion, and gingival harmony • Confirm shade blending with FJT (Final Junction Tooth) • Take reference photo for final color validation ⸻ Slide 6 – Step 4: Fine Adjustment & Cementation • Perform minor surface modifications if necessary • Polish or reglaze for natural enamel texture • Apply final cementation following manufacturer’s IFU • Recheck contact, occlusion, and esthetic integration ⸻ Slide 7 – Step 5: Post-Cementation Evaluation • Assess patient satisfaction and tissue response • Photograph and document final restoration • Evaluate long-term stability and esthetics ⸻ Slide 8 – Conclusion • Custom shade matching enhances esthetic precision • Coordination between lab and clinical steps ensures accuracy • Proper communication and documentation are key to success
