This article had the objective of reporting a case of aesthetic rehabilitation with laminated facets from the 14 to the 24 teeth made with IPS E.max Ceram ceramics (Ivoclar-Vivadent), which replaced previous unsatisfactory composite resin restorations in the anterior region. The patient had agenesis of 12 and 22 teeth, making it necessary to anatomize the anterior teeth. A digital smile design was first virtually created and then followed by a diagnostic wax-up. The following was performed in a single day: periodontal surgery using the flapless technique to achieve prosthetic space; teeth preparation; an additionalsilicone impression; and multiple provisional restorations of bis-acryl composite resins were fabricated. Fourteen days later, in the second session the ceramic veneers were etched with 5% hydrofluoric acid for 20s; they received a silane application and a silane heat treatment, then lastly an ultrasonic bath. A universal adhesive was used in combination with a light curing cement.Cementation was performed immediately following an occlusal adjustment. The patient returned for a follow-up appointment another fourteen days after the luting process, in which a further occlusal adjustment was performed, and he reported complete satisfaction with the treatment.
