Abstract
This case reports the treatment of two discoloured incisors with feldspar ceramic veneers using an integrated work approach, and the active participation of a dental technician. The patient presented an upper left central incisor with a composite restoration, and a lateral incisor with discolouration after trauma and endodontic treatment. Planning was developed in collaboration with the technician, the decision was to perform ceramic veneers on the discoloured teeth. Central incisor previous restoration was included in preparation, and lateral preparation was limited to create enough space for the veneer. This case highlights the importance of communication between patient, clinician, and technician to achieve excellent results in restorative dentistry. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Feldspar ceramic veneers might be a good option for masking light and mediumly discoloured substrates.
