Abstract
Nowadays, minimally invasive prosthetic procedures transcend traditional full-crown dentistry. By reducing tooth reduction and using adhesive cementation, these techniques maintain pulp vitality, maximise fracture resistance and achieve long-lasting, high-definition aesthetics and function. This presentation is distilled into a complete, step-by-step workflow: proper diagnosis, guided preparation, ultra-precise impressions or digital scans, and safe adhesive cementation. Case reports — from single veneers to full-mouth adhesive restorations — demonstrate how a broad palette of contemporary materials and techniques meet biological, functional, and cosmetic demands. Participants will gain ready-to-apply clinical tips and discover how emerging digital trends integrate with classical protocols to streamline chair time, refine outcomes, and simplify maintenance, focusing on all modern restorative alternatives, including difficult cases such as discolorations and worn dentition.
