Abstract

The restoration of anterior teeth with diastema presents an aesthetic and functional problem. Such defects are usually treated by orthodontic treatment, composite veneers, porcelain veneers or full crown coverage. Many teeth that could have been saved with the use of a conservative laminate veneer are destroyed by full crown reduction. When properly executed, porcelain veneers for cosmetic dentistry are the best option. The case presented in this article illustrates the preparation and restoration of maxillary lateral incisors with pronounced spaces due to rotation with porcelain laminate veneer.
