Interesting case, laser preps using Waterlase at 3.5 watts,65/35..( I could have cut these teeth with 2 watts they were so soft)..restored with Simile….  No anaesthesia used…..

Hi Ron,

Nice handling of the case.

It seems the opaque hypoplasia layer is not very deep. Is that the case?

If it was deeper, will you chase it down to get to normal enamel or into dentin before etching? If not, will the bond strength be adequate?

It wasn that deep here…With a girl her age i wouldnt risk chasing it very deep….I would chase for a bit and then if it got very deep I would bond and hope that between a laser etch and an acid etch my bond strength would be adequate…..
