Abstract
Objectives: This report illustrates the digital interdisciplinary management of a case presenting with diastemata, a retained primary tooth, microdontia, and hypodontia. Esthetic crown lengthening and ultrathin veneers optimized the natural dentition and achieved a stable, minimally-invasive, and esthetically-pleasing outcome. Clinical Considerations: Reduction guides were digitally-designed and 3D-printed for guided crown lengthening and dental veneer preparation. Ultrathin lithium disilicate veneers were fabricated using the INK GLUE technique. Conclusions: When interdisciplinary cases are meticulously planned and executed with digital and analog tools, a satisfactory, esthetic, minimally-invasive result can be achieved.
