Esthetic integration area concept in digitally guided veneer rehabilitation: A dental technique.

ABSTRACT

Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technologies have been integrated into the dental digital workflow. However, pretreatment virtual veneer preparations and the digital design and manufacturing of guided preparation and cementation templates has not yet been incorporated into the clinical routine. This article presents a novel protocol for digitally guided veneer rehabilitation by following the esthetic integration area concept, facilitating precise control over tooth structure removal and obviating the need for interim restorations.
