I saw Armin Shimmerman at a Trek convention long ago, and he talked about
long days filming DS9. They would sometimes re-film scenes from different
angles, then mix between the scenes later on. One time his character was
supposed to be presumed dead, or is laying unconscious, so he had to lay
there for several hours as they filmed and re-filmed dialog from the actors
standing over him. The shots were going good, little need for re-shoots of li
nes. When they were nearly done, he realized he forgot to have his teeth
prosthetics placed back in after lunch! Some closeups were redone, however
in most scenes where he is visible with other actors, it's only noticeable if
you're looking for it.
