Laminate veneers for the aesthetic restoration of anterior teeth.

The conservative aesthetic restoration of unsightly anterior teeth has been revolutionized by the introduction of laminate veneers. Although direct composite veneers and pre-fabricated acrylic veneers have been used, the long-term clinical results are not as completely satisfactory as the laboratory-fabricated veneers. At present, indirect laboratory-made resin veneers and porcelain laminate veneers have become the two major modalities of treatment when conservative aesthetic restoration of anterior teeth is needed. In this article, details on these two types of veneers and steps of bonding them to the teeth are presented. Furthermore, colour modifications prior to veneer cementation, temporization of tooth preparations, long-term gingival response to veneer margins, and durability of the veneers have been reviewed.

[The Optec hsp procedure. Concepts and laboratory fabrication].

Feldspatic porcelains are usually material in cosmetic dentistry, but they cannot be used without a reinforcement system. Aluminous or metallic frames produce a strong internal specular reflexion, which destroys the deep natural appearance of teeth. Inspired from glass ceramic industry, the concept of strengthening in Optec hsp is induced by a high level of micro-crystalline dispersion, spread in the material. Micro-crystals increase strength by division of stresses and improve the scattering of light as we observe in the natural tooth. The laboratory method is based on routine technics of porcelain building. No special equipment, or high temperature are necessary for producing, laminate veneers, inlays, onlays, crowns, and tree units anterior bridges.

[Different types of tooth preparation for placement of ceramic veneers].

Lately the porcelain laminate veneer in the fore-upper sector of the mouth, has gained popularity due to the multiple advantages that it has shown, therefrom the purpose of describing the different reduction techniques according to the function of the laminate restauration. We describe the instruments that will be used and the sequence that should be carried on during the different types of reduction, classifying them in three large groups according to the anomaly presented by the elements to be restored.

[Color science in shade determination for ceramometal].

The authors in this study analyse some elements of color science, necessary to an adequate shade choice for ceramo-metal systems. Some light's physical properties, such as reflection, refraction and metamerism, light sources, contrast's effects can determine a change of real color shade. Adoption of some practice devices allows an appropriate porcelain shade selection for give to final crowns a naturalness' character in armony with patient's dentition.
