Summary

Introduction

The treatment of defective and discolored anterior dentitions has always created a challenge in dentistry. Ceramic laminate veneers offer a conservative esthetic treatment, which met patient expectations for many years [1]. Various common techniques to fabricate porcelain veneers include the platinum foil or refractory die technique, in which porcelain in powder form is stacked on top of a refractory die and fired in the oven. Another method is the pressing ceramic technique involving waxing up the restoration to the proper form and pressing it under pressure into the evacuated mold, similar to the lost wax technique for metal. Two main types of materials are currently available for esthetic CAD/CAM-processed indirect dental restorations: glass-ceramics and hybrid resin ceramics [3]
