Objectives: This report illustrates the digital interdisciplinary management of a case presenting with diastemata, a retained primary tooth, microdontia, and hypodontia. Esthetic crown lengthening and ultrathin veneers optimized the natural dentition and achieved a stable, minimally-invasive, and esthetically-pleasing outcome.

Clinical Considerations: Reduction guides were digitally-designed and 3D-printed for guided crown lengthening and dental veneer preparation. Ultrathin lithium disilicate veneers were fabricated using the INK GLUE technique.

Conclusions: When interdisciplinary cases are meticulously planned and executed with digital and analog tools, a satisfactory, esthetic, minimally-invasive result can be achieved.

Objective: Investigation of the mechanical properties of occlusal veneers made from zirconia with varying translucency, bonded to different tooth substrates.

Materials And Methods: Sixty-four extracted molars were divided into two groups: preparation within enamel (E) or extending into dentin (D). Veneers were milled from four zirconia ceramics (n = 8): 5Y-TZP (HT), a multilayer of 5 and 3Y-TZP (GT), 3Y-TZP (LT), and 4Y-TZP (MT).

Anterior teeth play an important role in the aesthetic appearance of an individual. Hence, restoration of the anterior teeth has always been a significant concern for both dentists and patients worldwide. Indirect restoration using laminate veneers has revolutionized cosmetic dentistry by minimizing tooth preparation compared to full dental crowns.

Background: Patients' increasing interest in achieving optimal cosmetic outcomes and the widespread use of ultrathin ceramic veneers offer advantages such as high esthetic results and long-term durability. Several issues related to tooth preparation have been raised, including dental sensitivity, periodontal diseases, and increased treatment phases, in addition to complications associated with previous procedures, the treatment of which remains controversial to date. With the advancement of dental ceramic and its manufacturing techniques, it was widely used to manufacture ultrathin ceramic veneers with minimal preparation.

Objectives: The primary aim of this in vitro study was to compare the load-bearing capacity of lithium disilicate occlusal veneers, fabricated via different manufacturing processes. Secondary objectives included assessing internal accuracy and production time-efficiency.

Methods: Four fabrication methods for ultra-thin lithium disilicate occlusal veneers on extracted human molars with simulated erosive defects were compared (n = 20/group): CAM: milled lithium disilicate (IPS e.
