This article discusses the treatment of tooth structure loss due to erosion using indirect lithium disilicate ceramic restorations. Minimally invasive approaches, in which the eroded teeth are conservatively prepared and restored with minimally invasive restorations, are recommended. Lithium disilicate ceramics are currently the material of choice for this type of treatment as they can withstand maximum occlusal forces in the posterior region. The restorative process should be guided by diagnostic procedures that define the clinical therapeutic goal at the beginning of treatment. Adhesive cementation with the correct protocol is crucial for full mechanical strength of the restoration. At the end of the treatment, in addition to preventive measures, an overnight protective splint is recommended to ensure long-term clinical stability.
