Abstract
This article discusses the management of inaesthetic smile associated with midline diastema and unsatisfactory extensive composite restorations. A 48 year old female patient presented to the Fixed Prosthodontics Department. She was looking for an improvement of her smile and she was worried about the aesthetic appearance caused by affected teeth. The treatment plan included a prosthetic therapy consisting on CAD/CAM Zirconia based crowns restoring the altered properties of anterior teeth, both aesthetic and mechanical. Internal bleaching technique was rejected because of time consuming procedure. Thanks to a well-planned approach the result was esthetically acceptable and the patient was satisfied.
