Laminados cêramicos: revisão de literatura

Objective: To carry out a literature review of recent studies on ceramic laminates regarding the parameters for the success of this type of restoration. Materials and methods: A search was performed in the main databases that include the National Library of Medicine (MEDLINE-PubMed), ISI Web of Science and Scopus. Articles in English and Portuguese were collected in the last 20 years. Result: The success of ceramic laminates in the medium to long term was analyzed. Periodontal response in ceramic veneers ranged from acceptable to excellent and maintained their aesthetic characteristics, with high patient satisfaction. Ceramic laminates have a high survival rate, regardless of whether or not the preparation has incisal coverage. The main changes observed in relation to aesthetics are related to the change in the thickness of the ceramic and the shades of the cement used. Restoration thickness influences color and luminosity changes for conventional and light-curing dual cements. Conclusion: Therefore, ceramic veneers are a conservative treatment to restore the shape and color of anterior teeth. It is extremely important to know the differences in the chemical composition and quality of the ceramics that can be used. Once the clinical protocol is correctly followed by a trained professional, it is entirely possible that an aesthetic, functional and durable rehabilitation with predictable results can be achieved.
