The procedure used for the restoration of maxillary right and left lateral incisors with all-ceramic one-piece coronal post and laminate veneer restorations is described in this clinical report. The proposed treatment technique conserves the remaining tooth structure, reestablishes function, offers satisfactory esthetics, and represents an alternative to traditional restoration procedures with the use of adhesive bonding techniques.
When all-ceramic systems are used, a respect for biocompatibility, an understanding of the patient's esthetic demands, and a justifiable reliance on the strength of the selected system are integral to success. Severely damaged molar teeth in two patients were restored with all-ceramic onlays that were prepared with a copy-milling system for ceramics. The onlay patterns were fabricated directly in the mouth with autopolymerizing resin. For these patients, the use of biologic, all-ceramic, copy-milled restorations resulted in clinical success as well as recovered function and esthetics.
