Requirements to send cases
- Preoperative photos: Portrait, frontal and lateral 1:2. Pre-op photos help identify features of the patients natural teeth that will be preserved or eliminated.
- Photos of teeth to be matched with shade tab (with the tab identifying number obvious) placed in the same plane as the teeth. Multiple shade tabs provide multiple references.
- Off angle photos of teeth to be matched show surface detail. If the flash is perpendicular to the surface of the tooth it will wash out surface topography.
- Prep photos with shade tabs identify areas of concern for all ceramic restorations. Opacities and / or low value areas must be accounted for in all ceramic cases.
- Horizontal plane indicator (stick bite or other) with stick parallel to sagittal section of the face and attachable to lower teeth. Include patients eyes in photo of indicator.
- Face bow and photo of facebow including patients eyes.
- Photos and casts of provisionals. Portrait, 1:2 frontal and lateral photos.
- Bite registrations. Identify what type (CO, CR, NM).
- If matching existing restorations please identify existing restorative material.
- Final impression. If more than one is sent, identify which is to be used and why the second is included.

- Impression of opposing dentition (final impressioning material is most accurate).
- Detailed Rx
