چکیده
The ultimate goal for an esthetic rehabilitation is the restoration of health, beauty, and function to the patient. This article illustrates a predictable system to guide the clinician with tooth preparations for porcelain veneer restorations based upon the additive diagnostic wax-up. This system promotes a preparation technique using a series of guides that direct the clinician to reduce only the enamel necessary to create enough volume for the ceramist to produce a conservative porcelain veneer restoration. Research has shown that porcelain veneer preparations remove significantly less volume of tooth structure by weight than full-crown preparations.

The 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...

Esthetic treatment of a single darkened tooth represents a great challenge to the dental practitioner. The properties of dental ceramic-colour stability, mechanical strength, clinical longevity, esthetic appearance and compatibility with periodontal tissues-make this material a good choice for such treatment. We present a case of restoration of a single, highly darkened anterior tooth with a fe...
متن کاملPreparing porcelain surfaces for optimal bonding.
When placing an indirect restoration such as a porcelain veneer, inlay, or onlay, the intaglio surface is typically treated in some fashion to ensure optimal bonding to the resin-based adhesives and luting cements required to affix it to the tooth tissues. A variety of surface preparation techniques have been advocated, including the use of acids, particle abrasion, various adhesives, and chemi...

Progress in adhesive technologies has made possible to perform more conservative restoration techniques. Bonded porcelain veneers have been widely used to address aesthetic dental problems for more than 3 decades1,2. Aesthetic parameter plays an important role when deciding the treatment choice of a patient with diastema. Development of the adhesive materials allows the dentist to construct mor...
متن کاملComparison of porcelain veneers and crowns for resolving esthetic problems: two case reports.
When dentists are considering restoration of maxillary anterior teeth to improve esthetics, they must often choose between porcelain veneers and full-coverage crowns. Porcelain veneers are considered much more conservative in terms of the requirements for preparation, and they provide satisfactory, long-lasting esthetic results. Typically only the facial surface is involved in veneer preparatio...
