Abstract

Effective esthetic rehabilitation requires a proper treatment planning in addition to the associated diagnostic wax-up. For anterior rehabilitation, most dentists favor conservative and esthetic treatments, such as indirect laminate veneer restorations which can be partial- or full-ceramic anterior crowns according to the clinical situations. After the introduction of technologies such as intraoral scanners, dental software for digital restoration design, and additive manufacturing (three-dimensional printing), these techniques further enhanced the digital workflow of restorative therapy. These technologies also fabricate prosthesis with natural esthetics and marginal integrity. This case series discusses the conventional and digitally fabricated full- and partial-ceramic veneers for discolored and misaligned anterior teeth after the fabrication of corresponding diagnostic wax-up.
