Abstract
This clinical report describes an interdisciplinary approach for the coordinated treatment of a patient diagnosed with peg-shaped maxillary lateral incisors, short clinical crowns, excessive gingival display, and orthodontic malocclusion. The patient's specific esthetic expectations for the anterior maxilla were successfully met through phased treatment, including orthodontic tooth movement, and porcelain laminate veneers. Porcelain laminates can mimic the translucency of natural tooth structure and can provide colour and contour stability with minimal risk of gingival irritation, provided that proper oral hygiene and plaque control are maintained.Such coordinated interdisciplinary evaluation and treatment are necessary for improved aesthetic results in maxillary anterior areas aesthetically compromised in several aspects.
