Esthetic improvement of discolored teeth using porcelain laminate veneers

Abstract

Patient: The patient was a 42-year-old female with the chief complaint of esthetic disturbance due to discoloration of the maxillary anterior teeth. The central and latral incisors were treated with porcelain laminate veneers, and the canines were treated with all-ceramic crowns.

Discussion: Efforts to preserve enamel, the bonding operation of the prosthetic device with consideration for moisture protection, and the maintenance of good postoperative oral hygiene may have contributed to the results of the present case. In addition, the diagnostic wax-up and step-by-step confirmation of the restorations with provisional restorations may have contributed to the patient’s satisfaction.

Conclusion: The patient with high esthetic demands was treated with a step-by-step prosthodontic treatment procedure that took into account the patient’s subjective viewpoint, and good treatment results were obtained.
