Opis

The use of indirect composite restorations has facilitated the generation of ideal anatomic form, marginal adaptation, and appropriate proximal contact & contour that were impossible with the direct veneering techniques. The developments of new curing techniques in conjunction with modifications of the formulae have contributed to a substantial improvement in both the mechanical characteristics and long-term clinical performance of indirect composite resins. Unfortunately, however, the use of post-cure heat treatments has done little to enhance the overall clinical performance of the restoration.Ceramic laminate veneers remain the esthetic restoration that best complies with the principles of present-day esthetic dentistry. It is least irritating to the gingival and adjoining periodontium, avoids the use of metal sub-structures and possesses excellent esthetic quality. They can be considered as ideal restorations for the corrections of poor anterior relationships and anteroguidance as it has good wear resistance. Also, porcelain laminate veneers are the ONLY ESTHETIC RESTORATION enabling a significant proportion of the natural enamel to be conserved.
