Abstract
The application of a tried and tested system, experimented for 40 years, represents, especially for complex rehabilitations, an indispensable means of achieving optimal final results, from the esthetic as well as biological and functional viewpoints.
Designing full-mouth rehabilitations with optimum esthetics requires correct treatment planning, evaluation of a suitable ceramic material and skillful application and techniques
Nowadays an innovative operative protocol allows the dentist to face highly compromised clinical situations with a minimally invasive prosthetic procedure. Thanks to the alteration of the of the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) it is possible to take advantage of the newly created space between the two arches with the result of minimizing the invasiveness of the prosthetic treatment when using veneers, full-veneers, buccal-occlusal veneers and table tops, even with very reduced ceramic thickness.
This Minimally Invasive Prosthetic Procedure (MIPP) permits to re-establish an ideal occlusal relationship and to avoid additional endodontic or surgical steps that were traditionally necessary in order to improve the retention of the restorations.
The maintenance of a maximum amount of enamel and the use of the appropriate bonding technique guarantee a remarkable resistance and a long-lasting result of the prosthetic rehabilitation.
