Successful Ceramic Veneers: 10 Steps Clinical Protocol

This book elaborates on the current clinical protocols using various materials and techniques that lead to predictable, reliable, and sustainable results. The skills of an operator in preparation and cementation are only some of the requirements for success. Esthetic dentistry requires a higher level of mastery when using a variety of restorative materials in order to obtain the desired outcome.
If these procedures are followed carefully, clinicians can confidently move on to more complex cases. A clinician can apply the knowledge gained in fabricating a single restoration to patients requiring the rehabilitation of multiple teeth, though not, perhaps, without some difficulty. Clinicians must understand the importance of a good preparation phase for making a successful impression and respect the limitations of impression materials.
Mastery of ceramic veneers and expertise remains necessary, as no rectification can be made once the procedure is completed. Training is required to gain experience in such minimally invasive restorations. It is the clinician’s responsibility to meet the needs and wishes of the patient, preserving the maximum amount of natural tooth structure while still achieving the desired functional and esthetic results.
