Midline diastema closure using a lithium disilicate glass ceramic fragment: increased long-term color stability”.

Abstract

Nowadays, maxillary midline diastema (MMD) can be treated with different multidisciplinary approaches. When restorative dentistry is needed, glass-matrix ceramic materials is one of the best choices, since they present good optical behavior and high survival rates in the anterior dentition. To obtain an adequate interphase, and color integration are one of the main restorative goals, and for that purpose, specific finishing and polishing procedures must be employed to avoid staining and ensure the restoration's color stability. In the case report presented in this article, a single lithium disilicate ceramic fragment was performed to close a MMD produced by the shape alteration of one of the maxillary central incisors. Also, the finishing and polishing procedure is discussed..

Management of Midline Diastema in a Young Adult With Minimal-Thickness Porcelain Laminate Veneers

“…The idea of providing minimally invasive treatment and understanding the options for the preservation of teeth are some of the important aspects of prognosis [6]. Veneers are considered a reliable restorative procedure due to their color stability, strength, biocompatibility, most conservative, excellent clinical performance, and high esthetic outcome [7][8][9]. This clinical report presents a conservative and minimally invasive approach to close a midline diastema using lithium disilicate veneers.…”
