Porcelain veneer adhesion systems.

Abstract

The outstanding bonds achieved by composite resin luting systems to etched enamel and to etched and silanated porcelain are well documented. These bond strengths, in concert with the excellent and ever-improving dentin bonding systems, encourage the use of porcelain veneers in a continually expanding range of clinical situations and ensure predictable results. Clinicians desiring to offer their patients ultimate cosmetics in conjunction with optimal, conservative restorative techniques will need to monitor scientific and clinical results obtained by leaders in the field of adhesive dentistry and continually update their technique. This review brings the clinician up to date on current research and gives the clinician an understanding of the components of today's adhesive systems technology.
