3D-Printed Lithium Disilicate Veneers A Clinical Case
11m
This article presents a clinical case study demonstrating the successful use of 3D-printed, ultra-thin lithium disilicate veneers. The researchers employed lithography-based ceramic manufacturing (LCM) to create non-prep veneers with a thickness of 0.1–0.2 mm, showcasing a minimally invasive approach. The process involved digital design, 3D printing, and subsequent sintering and staining. The resulting veneers exhibited excellent fit and esthetics, suggesting LCM as a potential alternative to traditional methods for creating similar restorations. Future research will explore mechanical properties and cost-effectiveness.
