[Bonded porcelain veneers].

Abstract

Nowadays the porcelain laminate veneer is a frequently prescribed aesthetic restoration for anterior teeth. A substantially reduced tooth preparation is required compared to conventional aesthetic complete crown preparations, in accord with the practice philosophy of minimally invasive dentistry. The long term clinical success of porcelain veneers depends on a careful case selection and diagnostic approach, as well as accurate and appropriate tooth preparation and adhesive bonding procedures. The goal of this paper is to give a reproducible clinical method to the practitioner for the realization of reliable porcelain laminate veneers.
