Esthetic Treatment of Conoids Lateral Incisor Laminate veneers: A2-Year Follow-Up

The treatment of conoids teeth represents a challenge for the dental team and, in particular, for the dentists who perform prosthetic restorations because only a few engagement elements are available in most cases, making it difficult to obtain an aesthetic that advocates anatomic and color homogeneity between the elements involved. Conoids teeth are changes in the size and shape of the natural teeth. These changes have an esthetic effect on the patient's smile because the affected teeth are smaller than normal and have a tapered incisal surface. The most commonly used treatments are direct or indirect composite restorations with ceramic resin, with the former treatment being the preferred one. However, the wider use of ceramics has made it possible to obtain results that are more lasting and predictable because the cements provide adequate adhesion properties for the ceramic materials, which naturally mimic the aesthetics of the teeth; thus, these new materials have changed the aforementioned scenario. The correct treatment plan and the use of new adhesive ceramic materials has made the obtainment of good functional and esthetic results possible via an approach that is much more conservative than the composite resin treatment.
