Abstract

Rationale: Laminate veneers have become the treatment of choice for restoring tooth esthetics and function conservatively. However, due to their thin nature, the esthetic rehabilitation of discolored teeth following pulp necrosis can be challenging. Translucent zirconia offers a favorable balance between masking ability and optical translucency while maintaining high durability. To enhance the bonding strength between zirconia and adhesive agents, the treatment of the zirconia surface with strong acids has been extensively investigated in laboratory settings. However, the clinical application of this technique has not yet been published.

Patient concerns: A discolored anterior incisor that had undergone endodontic treatment.

Diagnosis: Discolored anterior incisor following pulp necrosis.

Interventions: Restoration of the discolored anterior incisor with an acid-etched translucent zirconia veneer.

Outcomes: The monolithic translucent zirconia veneer successfully restored the discolored anterior tooth. A 2-year follow-up demonstrated that the acid-etched surface ensured the long-term survival of the restoration.

Lessons: Enhancing bond strength through micromechanical retention created by strong acid etching has proven effective in ensuring a secure bond between the veneer and adhesive cement, contributing to the long-term success of translucent zirconia veneers.

理由层压贴面已成为以保守方式恢复牙齿美观和功能的首选治疗方法。然而，由于其厚度较薄，牙髓坏死后变色牙齿的美学修复具有挑战性。半透明氧化锆在遮盖能力和光学半透明之间取得了良好的平衡，同时还能保持较高的耐久性。为了增强氧化锆与粘接剂之间的粘接强度，在实验室环境中广泛研究了用强酸处理氧化锆表面的方法。然而，这项技术的临床应用尚未公布：诊断：诊断：牙髓坏死后变色的前切牙：干预措施：用酸蚀半透明氧化锆贴面修复变色的前切牙：结果：整体半透明氧化锆贴面成功修复了变色的前切牙。两年的随访表明，酸蚀表面确保了修复体的长期存活：启示：事实证明，通过强酸蚀刻产生的微机械固位来增强粘接强度，能有效确保贴面和粘接剂之间的安全粘接，有助于半透明氧化锆贴面的长期成功。
