Abstract

Background: The bonding protocol for lithium disilicate veneers in the esthetic zone plays a crucial role in modern dental restoration techniques, focusing on the replication of natural tooth properties and esthetics. This process involves several meticulous steps on both ceramic and tooth surfaces to optimize material performance and bond strength.

Methods: The objective of this article is to provide an updated review of the literature on the clinical steps for bonding lithium disilicate veneers in the anterior dentition and to document a clinical case where these advanced restorative techniques were applied to treat a female patient seeking to improve her smile. A preliminary review was conducted on the existing literature regarding the clinical protocols for bonding lithium disilicate veneers in the esthetic zone. The main advantage of careful bonding procedures is that they maximize the full potential of the materials' properties.

Results: A review of the literature reveals some minor differences in cleaning the veneers prior to cementation and in the number of steps involved when combining certain materials in a single application process. However, well-executed bonding procedures, following the manufacturer's recommendations, can maximize the adhesion between the ceramic and the tooth, allowing the restorations to meet the patient's esthetic demands.

Conclusions: Effective bonding of lithium disilicate veneers in the esthetic zone requires multiple treatments on both the ceramic and tooth surfaces. When procedures are followed carefully, long-term esthetic and functional outcomes can be achieved. It is essential that clinicians are familiar with these steps. Proper patient selection, thoughtful treatment planning, and methodical execution of the case can lead to highly esthetic results that satisfy the patient's demands and ensure long-term success.
