No-Prep Veneers: A New Ceramic Material That Makes Them a More Realistic Option
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The ability to predictably bond thin pieces of tooth-colored restorative material to teeth and expect excellent long-term esthetic and functional results has created a new arena in the practice of dentistry — that of elective cosmetic treatment. This is not to say that these procedures “appeared overnight”; they did not. However, over the last 20 or so years, the materials and technologies have continued to improve. Now, many procedures in which longevity was felt to be compromised by the old-school critics have proven to be excellent and clinically viable treatment options. Teeth can now be “resurfaced” with tooth-colored restorative materials requiring very little, if any, tooth preparation.

Porcelain Laminate Veneer Therapy Ultra - thin veneer options using no - prep or partial - prep philosophy
During the past 25 years, there has been a lot of discussion regarding the preparation techniques used for porcelain veneers. Calamia and other early pioneers looked at veneers as a non-invasive, additive process and worked primarily with a nopreparation concept. Early on it was found that a little enamel preparation could help to enhance the esthetic outcome and improve the marginal fit. Later...
متن کاملEsthetic Rehabilitation of the Smile with No-Prep Porcelain Laminates and Partial Veneers
Rehabilitation of patients with anterior conoid teeth may present a challenge for the clinician, especially when trying to mimic the nature with composite resins. This clinical report exemplifies how a patient with conoid upper lateral incisors was rehabilitated with minimally invasive adhesive restorations. Following diagnostic wax-up and cosmetic mock-up, no-prep veneers and ceramic fragments...
متن کاملDental-gingival remodeling with BOPT no-prep veneers
Recent years have seen increasing demand for treatments aimed at improving dental esthetics. In this context, both patients and dentists prefer to preserve dental structures as far as possible; thanks to technological advances, especially in adhesive dentistry, new materials and minimally invasive techniques such as "no-prep" (no preparation) veneers have made this possible. Nevertheless, no-pr...
متن کاملThe case for moderate "guided prep" indirect porcelain veneers in the anterior dentition. The pendulum of porcelain veneer preparations: from almost no-prep to over-prep to no-prep.
In a historical pendulum of porcelain veneer preparation concepts, an oversimplified version of the so-called "no prep" approaches has resurfaced. A case from the USC student clinics is presented, which could be easily considered by many as a "no prep" veneer case. Moderate tooth preparations guided by natural morphology were used instead with a great benefit on the final outcome. While it is w...
متن کاملInfluence of bruxism on survival of porcelain laminate veneers
OBJECTIVE This study aims to determine whether bruxism and the use of occlusal splints affect the survival of porcelain laminate veneers in patients treated with this technique. MATERIAL AND METHODS Restorations were made in 70 patients, including 30 patients with some type of parafunctional habit. A total of 323 veneers were placed, 170 in patients with bruxism activity, and the remaining 15...
