| Tartalmi kivonat: | Background: Partial ceramic veneers in the esthetic zone are a novel, conservative alternative to traditional veneer preparations intended to preserve maximum tooth structure. This narrative review summarizes the available clinical case reports on partial ceramic veneers and includes a case illustration demonstrating a step-by-step approach to closing a space between the maxillary left lateral incisor and canine. Methods: The review synthesizes the limited case-report evidence, focusing on patient selection, treatment planning, and clinical execution. The case illustration details each step, including a diagnostic digital wax-up to preview the proposed outcome and a minimally invasive preparation limited to rounding sharp areas and optimizing the path of insertion. Results: Published reports emphasize that careful case selection and a well-executed plan are essential. In the case illustration, hand-crafted partial veneers achieved a natural appearance, with a high esthetic outcome confirmed using the White Esthetic Score (WES) system. Conclusions: Although evidence remains limited, partial ceramic veneers can be predictable in appropriately selected cases. More long-term clinical data are needed, and the case illustration may help guide early-career clinicians. The case illustration is limited in that it does not provide quantifiable outcomes like in vitro studies; however, qualitatively, it fulfilled the patient’s esthetic and functional demands. |
