Abstract
Teeth spacing defined as a dental anomaly characterized by interdental spaces and lack of contact points between the teeth, the etiology of spacing in dentition may be hereditary, acquired or functional. Using the appropriate technique and material for effective treatment are based on time, physical, psychological and economical limitations. Possible treatment options include orthodontics, restorative dentistry, surgery and various combinations of the above. All-ceramic systems for dental restoration have been extensively used over recent years due to substantial developments meeting dental requirements, particularly in terms of their mechanical properties and the opaque, presently accessible appearance of all-ceramic materials. In this case report inter-proximal space management was done using proximal ceramic veneers without any preparation. At one year recall session the veneers were checked both clinically and radiographically, the patient and the team were satisfied with the esthetic and functional outcomes of the definitive restorations.
Keywords: Teeth Spacing, Spaced Dentition, Proximal Veneers, Inter-proximal Contact Closure.
