Q

Why are laminate veneers highly esthetic?

A
  • high translucency

- takes advantage of optical properties of the underlying dentin

32
Characteristics of type III preparation? (4)
- Increases support of incisal porcelain. - Tougher under horizontal forces. - Increased retention and stability. - Increases adhesion surface.

38
When do you use palatal LDS laminate veneers? (2)
- When avoiding placing a full coverage crown | - Re-establish occlusal schemes
39
General characteristics of preparation of laminate veneers? (3)
• Over enamel whenever possible, especially at the margin--- Better adhesion and less marginal leakage. • Always conditioned by the diagnostic wax-up.
40
What is the reduction for a laminate veneer? (2)
- 2/3 incisally: 0.5m | - 1/3 gingivally: 0.8mm
41
What is the guiding grooves size for laminate veneers?
Special bur with 1.6-2mm depth
42
How do you prepare laminate veneers buccally?
- 856 bur - deep chamfer, chamfer or rounded shoulder - finish line 0.3mm deep
43
What should the height of the finish line be for buccal laminate veneer prep?
- yuxtagingival | - slightly gingival
44
Proximal preparation of laminate veneers ?
FL should end far from visible areas
45
Incisal preparation of laminate veneers?
1.5-2mm | high stress area
46
In which tooth will a type III prep for laminate veneers sometimes be needed?
lower incisors
47
Lingual prep of laminate veneers? (4)
* Round tapered bur * Thickness of 0.5mm * Located in the Incisal third * Continuity with the interproximal preparation.
48
How is the finish of the prep for laminate veneers? (2)
* Remove edges/angles. | * Open contact points with polishing strips
49
What is the required volume for E max LDS monolithic pressed laminate veneers?
0.3mm
50
What is the required volume for E max LDS monolithic milled laminate veneers?
0.4mm
51
What is the required volume for E max LDS veneered over press / CAD laminate veneers?
