ALERT: Orangina's dentition: Part Cuatro

[PCIntern]

Ok folks, we have some breaking news: first take a look at the first photo. That’s his upper dental reconstruction, very nicely contoured and carved. Note the embrasures, or the triangles of gum between the teeth. Good anatomy and proportioned properly. As an aside, he looks like he had first premolar extractions for orthodontics and it appears , though I could be mistaken that he is also missing his second premolar and second molar, since there is what looks like a Pontic or dummy tooth in front of the first molar so there is a bridge or a continuation of his splint between his canine and his first molar on his left side. All within bounds. Losing back teeth, particularly second molars by his age is typical



Now look at this photo taken within the past week. The teeth are very bulky, you don’t see that embrasure between the teeth and they’re not the same color as the first photo. These are almost certainly temporaries which we call provisionals. The teeth are deliberately left bulky in between to prevent fracture of the material, whether acrylic, composite, or other material. The shade appears to be a bleaching shade which is now made for temporaries for people who have bleached their teeth or demand ultra white teeth.



He is definitely in the middle of significant dental work and this stuff is no joke. We have no idea exactly why both of his arches are being worked on but there must have been significant circumstances. We shall see.
