M. / Naves, Lucas ZagoThe partial anterior ceramic restoration is a predictable and durable treatment modality that reestablishes not only esthetics but also strength and function. Bio-emulation, minimally invasive dentistry, and adhesive technology are key to a successful restoration. Partial restorations are only indicated when teeth have enough hard tissue on which to bond veneers. When there is more than 50% of dentin exposure, many clinicians still rely on macromechanical retention by performing a full-crown preparation. However, new research has shown good survival rates for partial restorations with extensive dentin exposure. The present article describes two cases in which a step-by-step protocol was applied to bond a laminate veneer to a tooth with dentin exposure.
