After removal of duplicates and a careful examination of titles and abstracts, the reviewers excluded all of the studies. Manual and grey literature did not yield any other relevant article.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Conclusions </strong> Due to the lack of data, at the moment achieving a definitive clinical statement regarding the "no-prep" technique is not possible. Further clinical studies are needed to assess the effectiveness of no-preparation ceramic veneers. No-prep veneers can be considered as conservative treatments which should be carefully recommended and request a cautious selection of cases. Further controlled clinical researches are necessary to clearly identify predictable clinical protocols and evaluate the long-term outcomes of such restorations.</span></p>}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Osseointegration}, author={Zarone, F. and Leone, R. and Di Mauro, M.
