case_images: During a second appointment the preliminary resin mock-up was tried, checked, and provisionally luted (Figure 4); any alteration desired by the patient and the clinician was analyzed, discussed, and adjusted.

case_images: In order to facilitate the impression and cementation protocols, interproximal space between central incisors was at first widened using coarse/medium finishing strips (each of them has two different abrasive grades) (Sof-Lex, 3M ESPE); subsequent surface refinement was performed by fine/superfine strips of the same system (Figure 6).

case_images: A high quality polyether precision material was used (Impregum Penta Duosoft, 3M ESPE) to take a one-step, double mix final impression; a light body (Duosoft L, 3M ESPE) was applied at the gingival margin and gently blown over the preparations (Figures 9(a) and 9(b)).

case_images: The dental technician prepared a wax-up on the working cast, reproducing all diagnostic information previously approved by the patient (to accomplish this step, the clinician recorded and sent to the laboratory an alginate transfer impression of the mock-up in situ) (Figure 12).

While for teeth 11, 21, and 22 vestibular and incisal areas were covered by the veneers, for the upper right lateral (tooth 12) the mesiopalatal surface was also involved.
