A well-planned working protocol is an essential tool in the fabrication of dental restorations. The authors have developed a special approach in our dental laboratory. It is presented here on the basis of a case study. The restorative work involved the fabrication of six veneers for the anterior teeth. In cases such as the one described, veneers represent an excellent treatment option. Shown are outstanding results with restorations involving pressed frameworks, which were subsequently built up with ceramic layers. This method is much easier than the conventional layering technique, but nevertheless provides optimum quality.
