THE OBJECTIVE
A smile with greater tooth display.
The objective stated in the original publication was specific: for the patient to show more teeth when smiling. The plan addressed the expression of the smile rather than colour alone.
THE DESIGN
Length, proportion and volume.
The published description identifies these three design variables as central to the treatment. They were redesigned to transform the expression of the smile while preserving the original tooth structure. The photograph illustrates the individual result.
THE RESTORATIONS
20 individually handcrafted veneers.
The treatment comprised 20 veneers in layered lithium disilicate ceramic, individually handcrafted by SAIZ ceramists. The supplied description does not specify the distribution between arches.
PRESERVATION
No tooth reduction declared in this case.
The original description states that the treatment was performed without tooth reduction. This statement comes from the treating practice, not an inference from the photograph. Suitability for an additive approach is decided individually.
