Aesthetic Rehabilitation Using Various Techniques for Anterior Teeth Affected by Structural Damage Due to Detrimental Habits: A Case Series
In this case series, various techniques are employed to address non-carious and structural damage to teeth resulting from harmful habits, such as the use of abrasive tooth powders and parafunctional habits such as tearing wires. The initial case involved the use of the hybrid sandwich veneering technique, which provided structural reinforcement and aesthetic enhancement for the upper anterior teeth affected by abrasion. Initially, the buccal surfaces of these teeth underwent treatment with calcium hydroxide, followed by restoring the cavosurface with restorative glass ionomer cement for indirect pulp protection. Subsequently, veneers (E. max) were bonded onto the maxillary central incisors using luting resin-based cement. Also, the fracture of the lower central incisor was addressed through metal post-reinforcement, followed by the placement of a crown. In another case, lithium disilicate (E. Max) veneers were used to enhance aesthetic concerns by addressing incisal corrections and midline issues specifically.
