Abstract

To report on the 10-year clinical treatment outcomes for a strictly applied clinical protocol for pressable lithium disilicate glass-ceramic laminate veneers (LDLVs) placed by two experienced dentists. A 10-year follow-up assessment of 364 LDLVs placed in 41 patients was undertaken with the clinical criteria color/esthetic match of the porcelain surface, chipping and fracture occurrence, marginal discoloration, and integrity, assessed using the modified United States Public Health Service scoring system. After 10 years, the survival rate was 97.4%. Complications occurred in 1.64% of the restorations (fractures and debonding in 0.55% and 1.09%, respectively). A strict, repeatable protocol for placing veneers with experienced dentists yielded good results.
