was performed to verify that the patient<br />

was able to use floss and brushes. The<br />

compressive points on the gingiva were<br />

reduced. The bar was returned to the<br />

laboratory after the disinfection protocol.<br />

thermoplastic mask was placed on the bar<br />

screwed into the master model; all this<br />

was repositioned on the articulator and<br />

the veneers were xed in place within the<br />

mould silicone (Fig. 16).<br />

contacts with the soft tissues<br />

The anatomic supports for veneers<br />

were modelled in wax (Fig. 14) and then<br />

inserted inside the casting cylinder along<br />

with the investment. The cylinder was<br />

preheated to 630°C for 90 minutes, and<br />

then cooled down to 400°C and maintained<br />

at this temperature for 60 minutes A<br />

predetermined amount of polymer<br />

based on PEEK was introduced inside<br />

the cylinder and left in position<br />

for 20 minutes The cylinder was<br />

placed inside the unit for the vacuum<br />

injection system and the pressing<br />

was carried out at 4.5 bar. After<br />

cooling, the coating was removed<br />

and the superstructure obtained<br />

Finalising the restoration<br />

The bar was placed on the model and<br />

undercuts were eliminated with wax.<br />

The housings with retentive caps were<br />

placed into position and the master model<br />

duplicated with silicone. The duplicate<br />

model was developed with class IV<br />

plaster; according to the manufacturer’s<br />

instructions. A rigid thermoplastic mask<br />

with a thickness of 1 mm was adapted<br />

over the duplicated model as the basis for<br />

(Fig. 15). A primer was dabbed into<br />

the spaces of the metal housing and<br />

cured for 90 seconds then the housings<br />

were blocked with dual adhesive. The<br />

bar and superstructure were placed on<br />

the master model, inside the mue.<br />

The gap between the two structures<br />

was filled with silicone. The inner<br />

part of the veneers was subjected<br />
