Abstract

Objective: The aim of this case report is to present the CAD/Press technique; a workflow that combines digital design, milled, or 3D printed burnout molds, and a new pressable ceramic material for the treatment of extensive noncarious lesions with minimal invasive indirect ceramic restorations. Clinical Considerations: Clinical decisions from material selection, preparation design, manufacturing techniques to adhesive protocols will be discussed, as they are important factors for achieving long-term clinical success while preserving healthy tooth structure. Clinical Significance: The presented workflow aims to ease clinical decisions when restoring extensive cases with indirect restorations and show clinicians a workflow combining several techniques.
