Abstract
IPS Emax is a lithium disilicate glass ceramic that has excellent translucency, longetivity, durability and strength for all restorations. It is a unique system that fulfills all of your patient demands for minimally invasive dentistry. It is a choice for single anterior/posterior crowns, as it truly mimics the light refraction and natural translucency necessary for outstanding esthetic appearance. Maxillary midline diastema with associated rotation of maxillary incisors presents a very challenging situation for dentist to meet the esthetic requirements. The presence of highly attached labial frenum in such patients adds to the complexity of the outcome of the treatment. Labial frenectomy done with the Laser presents a very quick and early satisfactory healing with no postoperative patient discomfort. Presenting a one such case report of rehabilitation of maxillary midline diastema with the IPS Emax ceramic laminate veneers.
