Fabrication of lithium silicate ceramic veneers with a CAD/CAM approach: a clinical report of cleidocranial dysplasia.

The fabrication of minimally invasive ceramic veneers remains a challenge for dental restorations involving computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM). The application of an appropriate CAD/CAM protocol and correlation mode not only simplifies the fabrication of ceramic veneers but also improves the resulting esthetics. Ceramic veneers can restore tooth abnormalities caused by disorders such as cleidocranial dysplasia, enamel hypoplasia, or supernumerary teeth. This report illustrates the fabrication of dental veneers with a new lithium silicate ceramic and the CAD/CAM technique in a patient with cleidocranial dysplasia.
