Tooth Preparation For Laminate Veneers

In the one step approach final restorations are produced prior to preparation of the teeth using reduction guides and veneers are cemented on the same day as preparation.

Tooth preparation for laminate veneers.

After finishing the tooth preparation for the veneers the deciduous canine in position 11 and first premolar tooth 12 were prepared for the ceramic crowns. In porcelain laminate veneer preparation we tend to finish the gingival champher supragingivally unless we are dealing with severe discoloration or spaced dentition. Meticulous tooth preparation is required with porcelain laminate veneers. Provide sufficient thickness for the porcelain for adequate fracture resistance and not to over contour the final restoration.

The main objective of tooth preparation is to create sufficient space for the restorative material to exhibit excellent esthetics and fracture resistance when in function. The first fit system uses 3d printed guides and a specially designed handpiece for guided veneer preparation using either a one step or a two step approach.
