Abstract:
Minimally invasive veneer restorations require control of tooth preparation, restoration design, and the final placement to accomplish predictable esthetics. Digital workflows have been proposed to improve the accuracy of veneer preparations; however, many approaches focus primarily on controlling tooth reduction. This dental technique aims to describe a fully digital workflow for V-veneers, minimally invasive restorations involving the facial surface with limited occlusal extension, and V-onlays, partial coverage restorations involving both vestibular and occlusal surface. The treatment is aided digitally with the production of preparation guides and positioning splints.
