Aim:Describe the available information of Esthetic Clinical Performance of Lithium Disilicate restorations according to FDI criteria in the last 10 years. Method: The information research was made on Pubmed, Ebsco, Trip Database and Scopus. Homologation of existent evaluation of the esthetic criteria to the FDI evaluation guidelines. Results: A total of 430 studies were found, however only 17 fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria established in this review. Conclusion: The literature review shows an excellent esthetic clinical performance of Lithium Disilicate as a restorative material. In fact, Lithium Disilicate esthetic clinical performance in single crowns and three-unit bridges overcome the classical fused to metal porcelain restorations, current gold standard. Nevertheless, new studies with better design and methodology are needed for a proper esthetic clinical performance evaluation of Lithium Disilicate as a restorative materials.
