“…Proper examination, diagnosis and treatment plan as well as good oral hygiene are mandatory for a successful treatment of anterior diastemas [21,22]. Study models and wax-ups are important to evaluate clinical conditions, restoration form, occlusal factors, and esthetic design [23]. Giving the fact that lithium disilicate ceramic veneers have relatively high wear resistance without jeopardizing optical properties, they were fabricated with thicknesses of 0.3 mm as the procedure was intended to be conservative and minimally invasive [24].…”

The use of ceramic veneers for the esthetic treatment of anterior teeth is favorable nowadays. They are considered as one of the most conservative treatment option for diastemas closure. The preservation of the tooth structure, color and contour stability, maintaining teeth vitality as well as predictable end results are among the advantages of ceramic veneers. The aim of this case report is to describe the treatment of diastemas using ceramic veneers reinforced by lithium disilicate.

“…It allows the clinician to visualize the original dentition, restoration design, occlusal scheme and possible aesthetic outcomes. 4 A common error when the technique is used by clinicians is to assume the lab will 'wax-up' the teeth in the optimal position required. It is vital for the clinician to prescribe tooth position, size, angulation and design of any prosthesis in detail.…”
