Visualization before finalization: a predictable procedure for porcelain laminate veneers.

The success and acceptance of anterior aesthetic restorations is based on a shared common vision and understanding between the patient and the clinician. If each has a different perception of how the definitive restorations will appear, this may lead to disappointment and refusal of the final restorations by the patient. This article describes the treatment of six maxillary anterior teeth with porcelain veneers using a practical approach that allows the dentist and the patient to agree on the appearance of the final restorations prior to actual fabrication and fitting of the definitive veneers.

Patients' attitudes towards compliance with retainer wear.

OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this survey were to determine patients' attitudes towards retainers and their compliance in wearing retainers. METHODS: Three hundred dental school patients were selected at random and survey questionnaires were distributed. Twelve private orthodontists were willing to participate in the survey and each was given 20 questionnaires for distribution to their patients. The questionnaire was designed to gather information regarding compliance in wearing removable retainers, perception of the comfort level of retainers and acceptance of the appearance of removable and fixed retainers. RESULTS: The results revealed that compliance in wearing an upper retainer was related to its comfort level and acceptance. Discomfort was the main reason given by dental school patients and forgetfulness was the major reason given by private patients for not wearing retainers. Higher proportions of patients found fixed retainers more comfortable to wear and were more willing to accept the appearance of fixed retainers. A higher proportion of private patients accepted the appearance of retainers compared with dental school patients, while a higher proportion of dental school patients found retainers less comfortable to wear than private patients. CONCLUSIONS: There was a strong relationship between compliance and comfort level in wearing upper removable retainers. Patients found fixed retainers more acceptable than removable types because of appearance and comfort.

Chromatic appreciation in the clinic and the laboratory.
