Abstract
Peg shaped lateral incisors are considered to be the most common discrepancy concerning tooth size. This results in reduced size of the tooth, anterior diastema, and most often an unpresentable smile. Now a days, the concepts of Adhesive Dentistry and wider use of ceramic veneers have allowed all ceramic restorations to be more acceptable in terms of function and esthetics as well as establishing a good smile harmony. The aim of the clinical report presented, is to demonstrate a conservative approach of treatment so as to improve an esthetically disharmonious smile resulting from a unilateral peg-shaped lateral incisor. Here the authors present a case of 33 years old Saudi patient, who sought treatment for solving his esthetically disharmonious smile. Digital Impression guides were utilized for planning and fabricating Lithium Disilicate veneers. This was done to restore the size, morphology, function, as well as the esthetics of upper lateral incisors including the overall smile of the patient. The veneers using Lithium disilicate provided the harmonization of smile of the patient. It further resulted in recovering of the tooth size including its shape as well as anatomical characteristics.
