Background/Objectives : Anterior dental trauma in adolescents presents complex restorative challenges due to ongoing craniofacial development and high aesthetic expectations. This study evaluated the long-term clinical performance of feldspathic ceramic veneers and lithium disilicate crowns used in the anterior region following dental trauma in adolescents. Methods : A total of 209 restorations were placed in 85 adolescents (50 females, 35 males), aged 11.1-17.9 years (mean age: 15.1 years). Of these, 144 were lithium disilicate crowns, and 65 were feldspathic ceramic veneers. All restorations were fabricated using minimally invasive protocols and followed up for periods ranging from 3 to 60 months. Outcomes were assessed based on standardized clinical criteria for success and failure. Results : Lithium disilicate crowns exhibited superior long-term performance, with the majority of failures occurring in feldspathic veneers ( p Conclusions : Both feldspathic and lithium disilicate ceramic restorations represent viable treatment options for anterior dental trauma in adolescents. However, lithium disilicate demonstrates greater mechanical reliability, particularly in teeth with significant hard tissue loss. These results support the use of durable ceramic materials in adolescent restorative protocols involving dental trauma
