Abstract
Introduction: A set of evenly shaped anterior teeth and good soft tissue (pink) to tooth (white) ratio makes a harmonious and pleasing smile. Peg lateral is one of the most common morphological anomalies in the Indian population with an incidence of 9.14% has been recorded. Case Summary: Minimally invasive bonded restorations were planned to transform the smile of a 36-year-old male patient, who presented with peg laterals causing a dissatisfied smile. A pleasing smile was achieved with smile designing, use of LASERs and ceramic veneers. Ceramics veneers have a 20 year long tested clinical survival rate of 91.73%. Conclusion: Minimal preparation ceramic veneers can be the ideal conservative management for diastema caused due to morphological aberrations when case selection is done meticulously.
