Abstract

The aesthetic result in the ceramic restoration of anterior teeth has always been a challenge in clinical practice and, in these cases, success depends on the skills of both the clinician and the dental technician. In current dentistry, the main objective is to pursue aesthetic results while preserving biological structures. Among the various conservative techniques available for anterior restorations, veneers are the most advantageous, compared to traditional crown preparation, both for the amount of tooth structure preserved in the preparation phase and for the direct adhesion on the enamel in the cementation. This article presents a clinical case of no-prep porcelain veneers (no-prep technique) for smile frame restoration.
