Abstract

Abstract: Objective: The aim of this case report is to present the CAD/Press technique; a workflow that combines digital design, milled, or 3D printed burnout molds, and a new pressable ceramic material for the treatment of extensive noncarious lesions with minimal invasive indirect ceramic restorations. Clinical Considerations: Clinical decisions from material selection, preparation design, manufacturing techniques to adhesive protocols will be discussed, as they are important factors for achieving long‐term clinical success while preserving healthy tooth structure. Clinical Significance: The presented workflow aims to ease clinical decisions when restoring extensive cases with indirect restorations and show clinicians a workflow combining several techniques.
