Abstract 

   The current Restorative Dentistry has been trying to unite esthetic and conservative concepts. Thus, treatments with good long-term prognosis, preservation of dental structure and high aesthetic satisfaction of the patient are recommended. In this context, we highlight ceramic laminates, which cover part or all of the vestibular face of the anterior teeth, sometimes without requiring dental preparation or only with minimal wear. In addition to possessing qualities indispensable to a restoration, such as durability and possibility of strong adhesion to dental enamel, are the materials that most resemble the tooth, providing a natural and pleasing appearance. The objective of this work is to describe, through a case report, the challenges regarding the aesthetic aspects of a unitary ceramic laminate in the correction of a compromised central incisor. The authors conclude that through proper planning, proper execution of preparation, molding and cementation techniques, and especially allied to a professional ceramist of excellence, it is possible to restore the harmony of the smile and mimic the restorative treatment to adjacent natural teeth.
