title: Mandibular ceramic veneers: an examination of diverse cases integrating form, function, and aesthetics.
abstract: Mandibular anterior ceramic veneers, though used less frequently than maxillary anterior ceramic veneers, are highly useful for certain case conditions. The learning objective of this article is to explore the indications, tooth preparation design, provisionalization considerations, and placement procedures for these conservative aesthetic restorations. In addition, their functional utility, tissue biocompatibility, and variances from maxillary anterior ceramic veneers are discussed by means of several different case reports.
