Abstract:

The present paper discusses the case of a 32 year-old male patient with localized wear in the upper central incisors and canines due to malocclusion, lack of overjet and parafunction, and recurrent failure of the direct composite restorations. The treatment plan aimed at applying the most minimally invasive procedures in order to preserve the teeth structures as much as possible. To achieve this goal, the initial orthodontic treatment was followed by adhesive palatal lithium disilicate veneers (for occlusal needs) and minimal prep buccal veneers (for aesthetic purposes).
