Correction of Midline Diastema by Laminate Veneer –A Case Report

Abstract

Laminate veneer is one of the most aesthetic conservative techniques while rehabilitating the human dentition. However, their longevity mostly depends upon the application of the correct techniques. Generally, the chance of their success is 94% to 95% in long term retrospective studies (15 -20years). The preparation of tooth plays a pivotal role in this technique. The bonding with enamel rather than dentin provides the strongest bond. The proper treatment planning and case selection along with, proper ceramics selection and methods of cementation, proper finishing and polishing and proper maintenance of these restorations are some important aspects of the success of these restorations. This article depicts a case of midline diastema which was corrected esthetically as well as conservatically using laminate veneers.
