Abstract

This case report describes the successful use of feldspathic ceramic veneers to restore incisal edge defects in a patient with significant enamel loss. The patient presented with damage to teeth 1.1 and 2.1, primarily due to habitual consumption of hard foods and improper brushing techniques. Feldspathic ceramics were selected for their superior aesthetic qualities and were bonded using advanced adhesive techniques. Over a period of seven years, the veneers maintained their shape, color, and function, demonstrating the material's durability and aesthetic stability. This case underscores the importance of proper material selection, careful preparation, and precise bonding in achieving long-term success with feldspathic ceramic veneers. Despite the challenges associated with the brittleness of feldspathic ceramics, this case highlights their effectiveness in restoring both the aesthetic and functional aspects of compromised dental structures.
