This case report focuses on the replacement of ceramic laminate veneers with suboptimal marginal fit and design, employing a digital workflow and CAD–CAM technology. The patient, a woman in her 30s, expressed concerns about the appearance and hygiene challenges of her existing veneers. A comprehensive assessment, including clinical examination, facial photographs and intraoral scanning, was conducted. Utilising CAD software, facial photographs and 3D models merged to create a digital wax-up, crucial in designing suitable veneers and addressing issues like overcontouring and a poor emergence profile. Following the removal of old veneers, a mock-up was performed and approved. Preparations ensured space for restorations with well-defined margins. The final restorations, milled with Leucite-reinforced vitreous ceramic, were cemented. At the 1 year follow-up, improved aesthetics, gingival health and functional restorations were observed. This report highlights the efficacy of digital workflows in achieving consistent and aesthetically pleasing outcomes in ceramic laminate veneer replacement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
