Objective:
The treatment of fractured teeth has become a great opportunity to investigate new approaches in the field of restorative dentistry. Restoring teeth with ceramic fragments is a great challenge, however, the computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology allows the fabrication of both laminate veneers and ceramic fragments.
Materials And Methods:
Thus, the aim of this article was to report a clinical case where anterior teeth, fractured due to a sport practice, were restored with CAD/CAM ceramic fragments.
Conclusions:
It was observed that with this kind of restoration optimum esthetic results might be achieved when treating anterior fractured teeth.
Clinical Significance:
Ceramic fragments using CAD/CAM systems are a viable clinical alternative to composites for the reconstruction of fractured teeth. Function and esthetics can be restored with the use of this treatment quickly and efficiently.
