Porcelain laminate veneers

Esthetics in our culture has become a matter of necessary concern to the dentist. Changing trends and treatments for dental disease have made it necessary to diversify dental services. Clinicians have long sought an effective method to replace missing teeth without having to reduce the adjacent teeth as abutments for fixed partial dentures. The advent of dental adhesive systems initiated the concept of bonding a pontic (such as an acrylic resin denture tooth) in place by utilizing adhesion to the interproximal surfaces of enamel on the tooth adjacent to the space. The advent of bonding provided the concerned dentist with the means to attach composite resins, in their various shades, to the tooth surface in order to create esthetic illusions or to cover up unsightly teeth.
