Porcelain Laminate Veneers

Due to increasing patient demand for esthetic restorations and more conservative trends in restorative dentistry, the use of porcelain veneers has become a widespread, reliable, and successful technique for restoring discolored, worn, malformed, or fractured teeth. Many factors influence the long term success of porcelain veneers, such as tooth surface, porcelain thickness, type of luting agent and adhesive system, marginal adaptation, periodontal response, tooth morphology, functional and parafunctional activities, and the geometry of the preparation. Preparation design and geometry are possible variables involved in the ultimate success of a restoration. Therefore it is essential to have a thorough knowledge about the different types of preparation designs and laboratory fabrication techniques for laminates. This book brings out the esthetic smile changes in the dentistry.
