Abstract
The patient was a 26-year old female who was not satisfied with the aesthetic approach of her maxillary incisors. The treatment goal throughout the process was to manage the risk and recreate the original and youthful appearance of the smile. The biomechanical risk was managed by providing coverage of the exposed dentin and rebuilding the eroded structures with minimal tooth reduction throughout the treatment. Functional risk and prognosis for this patient were both improved by achieving acceptable function. The patient was satisfied with the full-ceramic restorations and the symmetry, harmony gingival architecture.
