This case report details using feldspathic ceramic veneers for anterior teeth aesthetic correction. It covers planning, minimal tooth preparation, and cementation for durable, natural-looking results.
Area of Science:
- Restorative Dentistry
- Aesthetic Dentistry
- Dental Materials Science
Background:
- Growing demand for anterior teeth restorations in dental practices.
- Ceramic veneers offer a conservative treatment for minor tooth color, shape, and position discrepancies.
- Advances in adhesive technology and ceramic properties enhance treatment outcomes.
Observation:
- Digital smile design guided diagnostic waxing and silicone mock-up guides for precise tooth preparation.
- Gingival retraction using the double-thread technique ensured accurate impression of the preparation margins.
- Bis-acryl resin temporaries were fabricated using the mock-up guide for immediate aesthetic evaluation.
Findings:
- A meticulous step-by-step clinical protocol from planning to cementation was followed.
- Minimal tooth wear techniques were employed, preserving tooth structure.
- Feldspathic ceramic veneers achieved excellent aesthetic results with mechanical stability and biocompatibility.
Implications:
- This approach provides a predictable method for achieving long-term aesthetic and functional anterior restorations.
- Conservative preparation and advanced adhesive techniques contribute to the longevity of ceramic veneers.
- The described protocol can guide clinicians in managing aesthetic corrections of anterior teeth.
