CREATING A NEW AESTHETIC SMILE USING LITHIUM DISILICATE-BASED CERAMICS. A CASE REPORT

Authors: Mona IONAŞ

Abstract:

This article presents the case of a patient dissatisfied with the aesthetic aspect of his upper frontal area, who asked for an alternative solution to the orthodontic treatment.  A minimally invasive aesthetic solution is deployed using lithium disilicate-based ceramics. The indirect technique is performed based on a complex analysis of the case, which involves x-rays, study models, wax-up, mock-up. Only thereafter we can speak about the proper realization of the prosthetic work. The patient is satisfied with the new smile line and the aesthetic treatment.
