Minimally invasive prosthetic technology in dento-somato-facial esthetics

Abstract

One of the major challenges in dentistry today is tooth restaurations with biocompatible materials which are sufficiently strong to endure masticatory forces. It’s necessary to use ceramics in prosthetic restorations because of the material’s qualities: high wear resistance as well as special esthetic qualities. The minimally invasive techniques allowed us to make prosthesis which are more biological and prophylactic because of the limited tooth preparation. Maryland bridge the facets technique is the second minimally invasive prosthetic solution, it consists of removing a very small amount of healthy tooth surface when esthetic corrections are needed for the front teeth.
