Retained primary teeth in the smile zone can cause patient dissatisfaction, especially if associated with malposition of teeth. Orthodontic and prosthetic treatment options to treat the situation may not be accepted by some patients. Therefore, these patients tend to maintain their primary teeth and seek different esthetic options. Ceramic veneers may provide an esthetic treatment option to restore these teeth. However, the survival rates of ceramic restorations in such cases have not yet been established. This case report provides a step-by-step clinical description of the use of ceramic veneers for the restoration of retained primary canines and mild teeth malalignment, with a 4-year follow-up report, in a 28-year-old female patient. During restorative treatment, an effort was made to maintain the occlusion in group function to minimize stress and eliminate destructive forces on the retained primary teeth. After 4 years of function, the patient was still satisfied with the provided treatment.
微笑区滞留乳牙会导致患者不满，尤其是当伴有牙齿错位时。正畸和修复治疗方案可能不被一些患者接受。因此，这些患者倾向于保留乳牙并寻求不同的美学选择。瓷贴面可能为修复这些牙齿提供一种美学治疗方案。然而，此类情况下陶瓷修复体的生存率尚未确定。本病例报告详细描述了一名28岁女性患者使用瓷贴面修复滞留乳尖牙和轻度牙齿排列不齐的临床过程，并给出了4年的随访报告。在修复治疗过程中，努力维持组牙功能的咬合关系，以尽量减少压力并消除对滞留乳牙的破坏力。经过4年的使用，患者对所提供的治疗仍感到满意。
