    Study Notes

    Laminate Veneers

    • A conservative method for restoring the appearance of discolored, pitted, or fractured anterior teeth.
    • Thin-bonded ceramic prosthetics that restore the facial and some proximal surfaces of anterior teeth requiring aesthetic treatment.
    • Adhesive cementation is critical for long-term success.

    Objectives

    • Definition: Laminate veneers are thin ceramic coverings for teeth to improve cosmetic appearance.

    • Advantages & Disadvantages: Advantages include aesthetics, durability (biological, mechanical, and chemical), tooth conservation, and modifiability. Disadvantages include technique sensitivity, high cost, complex preparation, limited repairability, and difficulty with provisionalization and color matching.

    • Indications & Contraindications: Indications include discolored non-vital teeth, teeth with extensive cervical restorations, stains not removed by other means, color defects (like amelogenesis imperfecta, tetracycline discoloration), physiological aging, trauma, and shape abnormalities. Contraindications include bruxism, severe tooth attrition, teeth with insufficient enamel, extensive existing restorations, severe malocclusion, severe discoloration, poor oral hygiene, and bad oral habits.

    • Factors affecting the bond interface: Tooth preparation, ceramic material and resin cement.

    • Diagnosis and Treatment Planning: Proper diagnosis of color changes, rubber index for evaluation, diagnostic wax-ups, study models, intraoral radiographs, and photographs are critical. Ortho treatment, crown lengthening, and gingival recontouring may be considered

    • **Teeth Preparation:**Minimal enamel removal, definite chamfer seat for guiding veneer placement, creation of receptive enamel surface for etching and bonding. Removing outer fluoride rich layer and allowing sulcular margin placement in discolored areas.

    • Impression: Poly-siloxane-based impression material for custom/stock trays. Digital impressions for CAD/CAM. Retraction cord positioning exposes the finish line.

    • Provisional Restoration: Provisional restorations are made as one piece, spot etching is done at central facial surface, followed by bonding resin and resin cement for attachment; crystal-clear celluloid ready-made crowns are suitable options.

    • Try-in: Using water-soluble viscous pastes or glycerin to hold the laminate and seat it with pulsating movements, then checked for thickness, contour, shade, and marginal accuracy. Occlusion should be checked in centric position and protrusive mandibular excursion. Excessive finger pressure should be avoided.

    • Bonding Steps: Sandblasting and acid etching of the porcelain surface. Application of silane coupling agent, phosphoric acid etch, rinse and dry, apply bonding agent, light cure

    • Laminate Placement Instruments: Specific instruments for holding and placing veneers.

    • Finishing: Procedures to give the final shape and polish the veneer. Details needed to avoid failure.

    • Failure of Laminate Veneer: Possible causes include chipping and fracture, poor esthetics, decreased marginal integrity, discoloration, incomplete fit, debonding, caries, and hypersensitivity.

    • Choice of Ceramic Material: Materials vary for different requirements; considering that some are better suited for resolving slight alterations in color. A classification of ceramics based on composition is used to define best option for each case. Feldspathic Porcelain, Alumina Porcelain & Oxide Ceramics.

    • Fabrication of Veneers: Methods may include feldspathic porcelain baked in traditional water-slurry method, castable glass ceramics, heat pressed ceramics, and CAD/CAM processed "factory produced ingots".

    • Esthetics & Strength Considerations: Tables summarizing esthetics and strength associated with specific material/fabrication method.

    • Special Situations: Addressing pre-existing restorations, masking discoloration, and managing thin teeth.

    • Incisal Preparation: Method for incisal reductions to adjust for existing structure or to add to length. Avoid areas where masticatory function might impact the junction of the veneer.

    • Sulcular Extension: Placing finishing margin just within the sulcus to limit extension needed into sulcus, and adjusting for tetracycline stains.

    • Proximal Preparation: Methods for proximal reductions with specific instruments such as LVS (labial veneer system) to address contact point areas.

    • Lingual Preparation: Modification of lingual surfaces for optimal fitting of the incisal/lingual junction in cases with existing overlaps.
