Incontinentia pigmenti: overcoming cosmetic challenges.

Incontinentia pigmenti is a rare syndrome of genetic origin that affects the melanin production of the melanocytes in the epidermis or superficial dermis. It is an X-linked dominate disease with lethality in males. The syndrome presents with skin and dental manifestations similar to ectodermal dysplasia and congenital syphilis. However, dental alternatives for achieving esthetic reconstruction differ. This article illustrates a case of cosmetic rehabilitation of an 18-year-old woman with incontinentia pigmenti.

Full veneer versus traditional veneer preparation: a discussion of interproximal extension.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Traditional veneer preparation has come to represent an almost universally accepted guideline of veneer preparation. It calls for an interproximal finish line at or just into the contact point. However, in certain situations, such an approach can have functional and esthetic limitations. PURPOSE: This article reviews those functional and esthetic limitations and discusses an alternative technique, the full veneer preparation. The advantages and disadvantages of this approach are discussed in relation to veneer cases with malaligned teeth, diastema, discoloration, black spaces, restorations, and/or veneers next to crowns.

Use of heat-pressed leucite reinforced porcelain in "difficult" veneer cases: a clinical report.

Two clinical situations are presented where a heat-pressed leucite reinforced ceramic veneer system was used. For these situations the system was advantageous when veneers (1) required bulk or variable thicknesses or (2) were under load from function and parafunctional activity. This porcelain veneer system addressed some of the concerns associated with standard feldspathic porcelain and castglass systems. Practitioners should consider its use for situations that require a stronger veneer material.

Facial shell temporary veneers: reducing chances for misunderstanding.

With increasing demand for esthetically pleasing porcelain veneers, dentists face the challenge of delivering final restorations that fulfill patients' expectations. Given that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder," dentists need a method of determining the cosmetic outcomes that the patient hopes to achieve. This article presents procedures that allow patients to "preview" the veneers before the final restorations are fabricated. This provisional restorative method can clarify patient expectations and reduce the need for costly remakes.
