Abstract

The novel design of a digital guide to facilitate the cementation of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) veneers for mandibular incisors by using a polymer infiltrated ceramic network (PICN) material is described. This guide provided an efficient, reliable, and accurate approach to facilitating multiple veneers with minimally invasive preparation during cementation, reducing the technique sensitivity of freehand practice and chairside time.
