Abstract

Adhesive dentistry depends on cautious tooth preparation for long-term cosmetic maintenance. New instruments and methods have been developing continuously to address this. When it comes to anterior teeth, esthetics is crucial. Direct and indirect laminate veneers are preferred over full-ceramic crowns due to their conservative and esthetically pleasing nature. Aim: As an alternative to crowns and veneers, this article intends to preserve primary tooth structure through digital workflow for individualized restorative preparation. Materials and methods: In order to produce a customized restoration using Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics (CEREC), the palatal margins are tailored in this restoration without affecting the occlusion. Under local anesthesia, just the labial and modest proximal reductions were performed. Results: A beautiful and effective restoration was provided. Conclusion: Here, the customized restoration is not only esthetic but is minimally invasive as compared to prefabricated crowns covering all tooth surfaces. This acknowledged for sustainable functional customized restoration which restored the natural appearance of the tooth.
