Time: 15:00 CEST, 17:00 GST | Online Event
Abstract
Nowadays, parafunctional habits and loss of occlusal vertical dimension due to erosion are frequently faced. In many of these cases, esthetic concern related to enamel loss together with this situation also play a role in the anterior region. Such cases can be rehabilitated fast and minimally invasively with the aid of a strong adhesion of durable and esthetic restorative materials. However, in order for this treatment alternative, requiring high precision and strong adhesion to be successfully practiced, a perfect workflow is necessary. This presentation describes a digital protocol characterized by prepless occlusal veneers on patients with reduced occlusal vertical dimension as well as having esthetic problems.
