Q

Why is replacing veneers not good?

A

First bond gives the best bond
Every time replace there will be some cement left over reducing the bond
Every time it is replaced will lose some enamel - then will need a dentine bonded crown

Q

What needs to be discussed at treatment planning?

A

Evaluate and discuss all options, advantages and disadvntages of each
Informed consent - post op sensitivity, marginal discolouration, fracture and debonding
Short and long term maintenance
Financial implications
Wouldnt want to do till >20 as they wont have enough recession

31
Q

What are the contraindications for direct composite veneer?

A

Inability to obtain: correct shades to blend with adjacent teeth, correct contours, correct surface characteristics, proper isolation
Multiple teeth due to the extensive time and difficulty in achieving consistent shade, contours and surface characteristics

32
Q

What are the advantages of direct composite veneer?

A

Very little or no tooth prep required
Wear similarly to tooth structure and do not cause iatrogenic wear of opposing dentition
Chair-side repairs

33
Q

What are the disadvantages of direct composite veneer?

A

Colour stability - takes in colour from environment but this can be pre-polished and repaired
Result isnt as long lasting as porcelain
Not as strong
Wears more compared to ceramic

34
Q

What is the direct veneer technique?

A

Veeners made by dentist chairside
only one appointment needed
minimal or no preprequired

35
Q

Why may you do a chamfer when doing a direct veneer technique?

A

To avoid ledges around the periphery and can remove some colouring

36
Q

What composite is used for the indirect technique?

A

Colour modifiers

Resin composite; microfilled, hybrid

37
Q

What is the longevity of composite veneers?

A

Frese et al 2013

Restoration showed a functional survival rate of 100%, an overall survival rate of 84.6% after 5 years

38
Q

What is the indirect composite technique?

A

Minimal prep
0.25-0.5mm tooth reduction
Resin cement for cementation
Bonding similar to porcelain veneers

39

Targis
Paradigm MZ100 (CAD/CAM)
40
Q

What are the advantages of indirect composite veneer over a direct one?

A
Reduced polymerisation shrinkage
Get smaller marginal leakage
Less post op sensitivity 
recurrent caries 
staining 
Better control of interproximal contours and contacts - no ledges or catches 
Less technique sensitive
41

A

After the introduction of acid-etch technique

In 1980’s the porcelain veneer re-introduced

42
Q

A

A porcelain veneer
An acid-etched enamel surface
A silane coupling agent
A resin cement

43
Q

What are the advantages of porcelain laminate veneer?

A
Superior aesthetics 
Excellent long-term durability
Strength
Marginal integrity - made to the model
Soft tissue compatibility 
Minimal tooth reduction
44
Q

What are the disadvantages of porcelain laminate veneer?

A
Time consuming - multiple appointments
Fragility 
Repairing difficult 
Colour matching difficult
Irreversibility 
Inability to trial cement the restoration
45
Q

What are the different porcelain technologies?

A
Feldspathic - Mirage II
Leucite reinforced - Empress I, Cerinate
Lithium disilicate - Empress II/Emax
Glass infused e.g. InCeram
Cast glass e.g. Dicor
46
Q

Why use CAD/CAM for porcelain?

A

High standard and uniform

47
Q

Why prepare teeth first for a veneer?

A

Stress concentration is less on veneers fitted to prepared teeth
Prep also removes aprismatic and hypermineralised enamel layer which are more resistant to acid etching

48
Q

Why should veneer prep be only into enamel not dentine?

A

To maximise resin bond strength and reduce tensile stress in the porcelain

49
Q

What is the tooth prep for porcelain veneers?

A

Minimal prep and even reduction
0.3-0.5mm mini chamfer
Facial reduction in 2 planes

50
Q

How can you adjust the veneer prep if the incisal edge is in occlusion?

A

Would want more ceramic on the incisal edge to withstand the occlusal forces

51
Q

When may you use the ‘window’ or intra-labial technique for veneer prep?
What is different about this prep?

A

Useful in canine guidance
Class II div II and class III incisor relationship
It is contained all on the labial surface not on the incisal edge
Don’t need a temp restoration

52
Q

What is involved in the long bevel preparation?

A

Keep the length if the incisal edge

Half of the incisal edge has been reduced

53
Q

Why do they need to be temporised?

A

Aesthetics
Sensitivity
Diagnostic - test the contour, shape, length

54
Q

What are the different types of temporaries that can be made?

A

Spot-etch direct build up
Chairside - clear matrix on diagnostic wax up, then spot-etch and pro-temp
Indirectly made composites made in lab

55
Q

When are you more likely to need to temporise the prep?

A

When preps more aggressive and dentine is exposed

They can also serve as provisionals?

56
Q

What type of cement is used and why?

A

Light cured composite luting agent - may want dual cured, less opaque
Share part of applied loading stresses during the masticatory cycle

57
Q

What happens at the try-in veneer stage

A

Try-in before cementation
Using resin luting agent
Use a try-in paste: Water soluble, Matches cement , optical contact
Use veneer carrier as very fragile

58
Q

How do you prepare the veneer for cementation?

A
Veneer surface treated with HF
Clean the fitting surface of veneer with acetone to remove try-in paste
Rinse and dry
Silane application 
Keep away from light
59
Q

Why treat the veneer with phosphoric acid?

A

improves the bonding strength

60
Q

How much acetone is needed to make sure all try-in paste is removed?

A

40ml Acetone

61
Q

What does the silane coupling agent do?

A

Apply to the internal etched surface
Chemically bonds to ceramic
Makes ceramic surface hydrophobic

62
Q

When would you use a more opaque cement?

A

Discoloured/dark teeth

63
Q

Why use a veneer carrier?

A

Avoids handling and avoids too much pressure during placement
Veneer must be held in 2 planes during initial palatal polymerisation
If veneer not held firmly enough then get suck back

64
Q

What happens if the veneer is not held firmly during initial polymerisation?

A

Suck back occurs causing gaps at the margins

65
Q

What can resin spaces be caused by?

A

insufficient luting resin and incorrect sequence of seating multiple veneers

66
Q

What do you do when finishing the cementation of the veneer?

A

Use floss to remove the excess cement or finishing burs
Check the occlusion
Finish with polishing points

67
Q

Why don’t you want ledges or excess cement?

A

Food trap
Gingival irritation
Recession - then see the margin

68
Q

What are resin spaces caused by?

A

Insufficient luting resin

Incorrect sequence if seating multiple veneers

69
Q

When can you get fracture of the veneer?

A

Unfavourable occlusion
Parafunction
Bonding to existing restorations

70
Q

Apart from fracture why else may a veneer fail?

A

Micro-leakage/marginal staining

Debonding

71
Q

What are the 3 types of veneer fracture?

A

Static
Cohesive
Adhesive

72
Q

What is a static fracture?

A

When segment of veneer fractures but remains on the tooth

Due to excessive loading or polymerisation shrinkage

73
Q

What is Cohesive fracture?

A

Within the body of porcelain due to tensile loads from excessive functional or parafunctional loading
Results in loss of fragment

74
Q

What is Adhesive failure?

A

Failure of bonding interface

Due to weak bond or severe occlusal loading

75
Q

If have a debonded veneer and the luting agent is still on the tooth, what does this mean?

A

Inadequate etching of veneer or no silane coupling agent

76
Q

If have a debonded veneer and the luting agent is still on veneer what does this mean?

A

Problem with bonding materials, placement technique or bonding substrate - more likely when predominately dentine
