| Summary: | Designing indirect anterior restorations with optimum esthetics requires correct treatment planning, evaluation of a suitable ceramic material, and skillful application and precize techniques. This presentation will feature the materials and clinical indications for use of conservative (minimal or no-preparation) techniques for anterior bonded porcelain restorations, clinical indications for more aggressive porcelain veneer situations where mostly dentin is exposed, and clinical situations and materials when a crown is indicated. Covered will be specific guidelines for all types of veneer preparations and high strength and crown and PFM preparations. Cementation materials and techniques will also be detailed. What is the material selection for coping and ceramic? And what is the ideal coping thickness? Illustrations and clinical cases will be used throughout for obtaining esthetic and durable results in the anterior zone with indirect restorations.
