Digitally designed reduction guide of to correct proclined anterior teeth: An aid before fabricating trial restorations

Restoring teeth with ceramic laminate veneers is most often an additive procedure. However, when proclined anterior teeth are being treated, a misfitting silicone matrix will lead to inaccurate trial restorations, affecting evaluation of the definitive esthetic result and leading to inaccurate definitive preparations. Using the digital technology, a 3-dimensionally printed reduction guide can be used to remove the proclined areas as the first step before trial restorations. Then, the trial restorations and made and then the definitive preparations made through them.
