Treating healthy but unaesthetic teeth has been a major challenge for a dental practitioner. Maxillary midline diastemas are one such aberration in the smile zone. Although a diastema can be transient in the developing dentition, the management of the diastema in adulthood requires a detailed examination and appropriate care for a successful outcome. Majority of specialty dentists prefer conservative or minimally invasive treatments, such as porcelain laminate veneer (PLV) restorations over full-ceramic crowns for anterior teeth, where esthetics can be extremely concerning. Minimal-thickness laminate veneers provide a satisfactory outcome while preserving the dental structure as a whole. Thus, this clinical report describes a conservative approach of minimal preparation utilizing a restoration to accomplish both esthetic and functional rehabilitation.
对于牙科医生而言，治疗健康但不美观的牙齿一直是一项重大挑战。上颌中线牙缝就是微笑区域中这样一种畸形情况。尽管在牙列发育过程中牙缝可能是暂时的，但成年后牙缝的处理需要进行详细检查并给予适当护理才能取得成功的结果。大多数专科牙医更倾向于采用保守或微创治疗方法，比如在前牙美学要求极高的情况下，相较于全瓷冠，更愿意选择瓷贴面（PLV）修复。超薄瓷贴面在整体保留牙齿结构的同时能提供令人满意的效果。因此，本临床报告描述了一种通过修复进行最小限度预备的保守方法，以实现美学和功能的双重康复。
