The patient presented with cracked tooth syndrome on a lower premolar. The One Visit Crown (OVC) was chosen based on its competitive price and good aesthetics.
This case study depicts a slightly different technique used by Dr Terry Wong, whereby the uncured material on the buccal side is shaped with OptraSculpt Pads (Ivoclar Vivadent) prior to curing. Dr Wong prefers to do as much of the shaping as possible prior to the final cure to reduce the time needed for finishing and polishing afterwards.

Patient information:
Patient presented with pain and temperature sensitivity. A provisional diagnosis was deemed to be cracked tooth syndrome. The patient was given the option of having the tooth restored with an all porcelain Crown using a Cerec Unit or a One Visit Crown (Zirconia Hybrid OVC – Rhondium). The patient opted for the OVC on the basis of cost and quicker delivery time. The OVC could be delivered in 45 minutes, compared to the Cerec crown that had to be designed, milled and fired (2 hrs).
