Abstract

With the growth of cosmetic dental procedures, the practise of dentistry has become increasingly centred on fulfilling patient desires. Porcelain veneers are increasing in popularity among today’s patients and dental practitioners for conservative restoration of unaesthetic anterior teeth. The ability to place restorations without significant removal of structure is becoming more critical than ever. Besides being painless and conservative, it is a durable material and doesn’t stain like composite making it attractive for a much longer period of time thus making contemporary dentistry, increasingly oriented toward elective and cosmetic procedures. Keywords: Veneers, Esthetics, Conservative preparation, Porcelain.

Introduction

One of the fascinating findings in psychological research in the past one decade has been the existence of physical attraction stereotype. With adhesive dentistry an impetus of aesthetic products came into the market that conservatively preens the tooth One such product is a veneer: which are wafer-thin shells made out of dental ceramic that are bonded onto the front side of teeth. Case Report 1 A 26-year-old male patient visited the Department of Conservative Dentistry, DAV Dental College, Yamunanagar, Haryana He complained of dislodged restoration of his front teeth and wanted to rehabilitate his aesthetic appearance (Fig. 1). Case Report 2 A 27 year old female patient reported to the department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics with the chief complaint of discoloured and dislodged restoration with respect to the upper front teeth. The upper front teeth showed brown discrete discoloration due to previous restoration (Fig. 6) This case was similar to first case and composite restoration and ceramic veneers were planned. Veneer preparation and cementation were done according to the standard protocol as discussed before (Fig. 9)
