title: Post-traumatic rehabilitation of anterior teeth with laminates composite veneers in children. Report of two cases.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  When treating children, a conservative and minimally invasive approach is mandatory. In dental traumas with partial coronal destruction, veneers represent the fastest and most effective method to rehabilitate front teeth of a young patient, since these no- or minimal-preparation restorations were proved to have predictable results without reducing the enamel layer. Indirect additive anterior composite restorations, besides being quick and minimally invasive, have to be considered a good treatment option for rehabilitating children, because they are inexpensive and repairable over time. Current laboratory techniques, associated with a strict clinical protocol, satisfy patients' restorative and aesthetic needs in few appointments and in a short time.
  
  
  METHODS
  The cases reported describe the minimally invasive treatment of two lateral incisors with nano-hybrid resin composite veneers after traumatic events. The patient satisfaction and good integration of indirect restorations confirmed the success of this rehabilitation.
