Minimally invasive ceramic laminate veneers. A 5-year CT evaluation of periodontal health.

Abstract

The main goal of the modern dentist should be to address the urgent need to promote treatments focused on conservative dentistry, together with maintaining the health of the periodontium. Instead, iatrogenesis that results in the invasion of the biologic space is a significant and increasing problem in dentistry. The present case report illustrates a 5-year computed tomography follow-up of a successful minimally invasive rehabilitation involving ceramic veneers. The study highlights the importance of pretreatment planning as well as a step-by-step clinical execution to achieve long-term health, function, and esthetics, respecting both restorative and periodontal principles.
