Abstract

Case report: Even if directly veneering discolored anterior teeth with composite is quite widespread, proper reproduction of their natural appearance requires much from the professional. Comprehensive management, from planning to finishing and polishing, of a severely discolored upper central incisor through its directly veneering is critically reported. Relevance: Direct composite laminate veneers are, indeed, a viable treatment option to correct esthetic abnormalities involving most of the labial surface of anterior teeth. This relative conservative therapy, since accurately performed by the well qualified dentist, will assign the patient esthetic, functional and emotional rehabilitation, culminating in a harmonious and pleasant smile.
