Abstract :
+e increasing demand of patients looking for esthetics has resulted in the development of several techniques to restore anterior
teeth. Conservative treatments should always be the first therapeutic option for the solution of aesthetic problems involving
morphological changes and usually provide the result that the patient expects. In this context, ceramic laminate veneers, also
known as “contact lenses,” are capable to provide an extremely faithful reproduction of natural teeth with great color stability and
periodontal biocompatibility. Minimal or no preparation veneers are heavily advertised as the answer to patients’ cosmetic needs,
when properly indicated by the dentist. +is paper reports a clinical case where lateral incisor agenesis was aesthetically corrected
using ceramic laminates.
