51
Q

veneers a.k.a

A

Porcelain laminate veneer (PLV), Laminate veneer

52
Q

veneer

A

A laminate veneer is a thin layer of cast ceramic that is bonded to the labial or palatal surface of a tooth with resin.

53
Q

veneer types

A

Ceramic - labial

Composite - labial

Gold – palatal, tooth wear cases

54
Q

indications for veneers (3)

A

Improve aesthetics

Enamel defects

Discolouration – decipher cause, aid Tx

55
Q

intrinsic discolouration causes (8)

A

Non-vital teeth

Ageing

Trauma

Medications (tetracycline)

Fluorosis

Hypoplasia or hypomineralisation

Amelogenesis imperfecta

Erosion and abrasion

56
Q

extrinsic discolouration causes

A

Staining not amenable to bleaching

57
Q

aesthetic issues addressed by veneers

A

If considerable changes – use diagnostic wax ups or composite mock-ups

Change teeth shape and/or contour
- Correct peg-shaped laterals

Reduce or close proximal spaces and diastemas

Align labial surfaces of instanding teeth
- wider labial palatal direction, can charactered incisal edge

58
Q

contraindications to veneers (10)

A

Poor OH

High caries rate
- Interproximal caries and/or unsound restorations

Gingival recession

Root exposure

High lip lines – see margins more, so if Tx not great can be seen

If extensive prep needed (>50% of surface area no longer in enamel)

  • Consider alternatives – PJC, DBCs MCCs
  • Chemically bond to enamel?

Labially positioned, severely rotated and overlapping teeth

Extensive TSL/insufficient bonding area

Heavy occlusal contacts – substantial loads cause porcelain to fracture

Severe discolouration – degree of translucency

59
Q

preparation needed for veneers

A

None in some cases

Use putty index and depth cut burs

  • keep putty index
  • 0.5mm grooves into tooth then normal bur to match

If prep required:
- Incisal edge reduction (if required): 1 – 1.5mm
material dependant bevel edge
- Midfacial reduction: 0.5mm
Within enamel, sufficient porcelain thickness
- Cervical reduction: 0.3mm (thinner enamel, want to stay within enamel)
Slight chamfer margin
Within enamel
Supragingival or slightly subgingival (0.5mm)

60
Q

preparation for veneers

incisal edge reduction (if needed)

A

1 – 1.5mm

material dependant bevel edge

61
Q

preparation for veneers

Midfacial reduction

A

0.5mm

Within enamel, sufficient porcelain thickness

62
Q

Preparation for veneers

cervical reduction

A

0.3mm (thinner enamel, want to stay within enamel)

Slight chamfer margin

Within enamel
Supragingival or slightly subgingival (0.5mm

63
Q

4 veneer types

A

a) Feathered incisal edge
b) Incisal bevel
c) Intra-enamel (window)
d) Overlapped incisal edge

dictated by pt occlusion. Don’t want to bite on veneer – will fracture, But overlap needed for aesthetics

64
Q

minimal preparation veneer technique

A

Gurel Technique

diagnostic wax up with putty index on top
can see spaces between index and tooth
- Where porcelain goes
- assess thickness and preparation requirements

Mock up
- Fill with protemp – can check aesthetics, occlusal contact points

65
Q

veneers temporisation and impression

A

May not need temporary – as remaining in enamel
- Prime and bond cured on top can be used for minimal sensitivity

BUT if necessary…make temporary restoration

  • Take impressions and occlusal records
  • Send to lab for restoration fabrication (2 weeks)
  • Fit temporary restoration

Alternative – spot bonded composite
- No etch
- Small spot of primer and adhesive
(stick better in centre but strong enough for 2 week period and can be flicked off with prove)
- Directly apply composite to build veneer shell

66
Q

veneers communication with lab

A

Lab prescription
- Pour impressions

Mount casts
- Articulator
Occlusal record – e.g. JetBite, waxbite
Facebow

Construct restoration

  • Tooth (FDI notation)
  • Material
  • Thickness
  • Characteristics
  • Shade
  • Translucency – opaquer (severe discolouration or change shade)
67
Q

veneers cementation

A

Adhesive systems

  • NX3 (Nexus) composite based cement as porcelain based
  • ABC
  • RelyX Unicem

Matrix strip or PTFE tape - interproximal surfaces (time consuming, can damage veneer)

  • Remove excess before cement sets
  • Microbrushes/probes/floss
68
