Abstract of the intervention: 

 

Restoration

The restoration was carried out as part of an educational project by the teacher Marco Demmelbauer. 
The intervention started with the removal of previous bonding and inconsistent deposits. Subsequently, acrylic resin was inserted as a fracture intervention layer and bonded with epoxy resin. Finally, three gaps were integrated with pigmented epoxy resin in the paste. The additions were then pigmented on the inner surface with acrylic colors and on the outer one with acrylic resin with UV filter.
