Abstract
The present paper aims to demonstrate the incorporation of the double monolithic protocol (DMP) into a chairside digital workflow to reproduce the fluorescence properties of natural teeth with chairside monolithic restorations when exposed to different light sources. A female patient reporting dissatisfaction with her upper anterior teeth was rehabilitated using seven veneers and a three-element bridge. The DMP was applied to the bridge, which consisted of a primary lithium disilicate framework to which leucite-reinforced glass ceramic veneers were cemented. The fluorescence of the different substrates and ceramic restorations was evaluated throughout the rehabilitation process, under 365 and 405 nm light. The DMP allows chairside procedures to be optimized by achieving predictable, mechanically resistant, and esthetic restorations. The DMP is a new chairside solution for developing ceramic restorations with optimal esthetics and combined mechanical properties, eliminating the need for sintering or glazing procedures.
