Introduction
Porcelain veneers are a reliable method of improving the aesthetic shape, form and color of teeth. Here we introduce a clinical case study utilizing a digital workflow described by Conejo et al 2022.
Methods
Enamel guided preparation is a technique that allows minimally invasive preparation through a digitally-guided intraoral mock up. This technique results in a preparation that has optimal bonding substrate without excessive tooth preparation.
Results
With utilization of this preparation technique, it allows for an optimal environment for resin bonding. Here we demonstrate a case involving #6-#11 veneers using the following modern techniques: 1.) veneer preparations via enamel guided technique 2.) veneer fabrication via CEREC CAD/CAM using Vita Trilux Forte feldspathic porcelain and 3.) veneer cementation via 5th generation bonding using Panavia V5 resin cement.
Conclusion
This case may be used as a working model to inform the clinical practice of veneer preparation, bonding, and digital design and milling.
