Abstract
Porcelain laminate veneers are a conservative treatment to enhance esthetics, tooth
shape, color, and contours. Enamel preservation during tooth preparation is essential
for the long-term success of these micromechanically retained partial coverage restorations.
Different methods have been described to clinically assess tooth preparation relative
to definitive restorative contours. This clinical report describes a digital workflow
to fabricate 3-dimensionally (3D) printed tooth reduction guides based on digital
esthetic planning. These 3D-printed reduction guides help clinicians visualize and
gauge tooth preparations relative to the desired restorative contours, aid in enamel
preservation, and overcome some of the limitations associated with conventionally
fabricated tooth reduction guides.
