25
Why is replacing veneers not good?
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
26
What needs to be discussed at treatment planning?
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
27
Why do veneers need to be relpaced?
Last 5-10 years, get recession then can see margins | Margins can become stained over time
28
What does veneer preps depend on?
``` Method of fabrication Occlusion Desired asesthetics Parafunction Presence of enamel at all proposed margins ```
29
What can a veneer be made out of?
``` Resin composite or Porcelain (ceramic) ```
30
What are the indications for a direct composite veneer?
Extensive damage to incisal or buccal surface Defective restorations Discolouration non-amendable to bleaching Mal-aligned teeth Congenitally deformed teeth Patient that doesnt have time or finances for indirect porcelain veneer Where a porcelain veneer would require excessive tooth structure removal
31
What are the contraindications for direct composite veneer?
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
What are the advantages of direct composite veneer?
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
What are the disadvantages of direct composite veneer?
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
What is the direct veneer technique?
Veeners made by dentist chairside only one appointment needed minimal or no preprequired
35
Why may you do a chamfer when doing a direct veneer technique?
To avoid ledges around the periphery and can remove some colouring
36
What composite is used for the indirect technique?
Colour modifiers | Resin composite; microfilled, hybrid
37
What is the longevity of composite veneers?
Frese et al 2013 | Restoration showed a functional survival rate of 100%, an overall survival rate of 84.6% after 5 years
38
What is the indirect composite technique?
Minimal prep 0.25-0.5mm tooth reduction Resin cement for cementation Bonding similar to porcelain veneers
39
What are examples of the systems used for indirect composites?
``` Artglass Belleglass Sculpture Targis Paradigm MZ100 (CAD/CAM) ```
40
What are the advantages of indirect composite veneer over a direct one?
``` 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
When was the porcelain veneer re-introduced?
After the introduction of acid-etch technique | In 1980's the porcelain veneer re-introduced
42
What are the 4 components of the porcelain laminate veneer?
A porcelain veneer An acid-etched enamel surface A silane coupling agent A resin cement
43
What are the advantages of porcelain laminate veneer?
``` Superior aesthetics Excellent long-term durability Strength Marginal integrity - made to the model Soft tissue compatibility Minimal tooth reduction ```
44
What are the disadvantages of porcelain laminate veneer?
``` Time consuming - multiple appointments Fragility Repairing difficult Colour matching difficult Irreversibility Inability to trial cement the restoration ```
45
What are the different porcelain technologies?
``` Feldspathic - Mirage II Leucite reinforced - Empress I, Cerinate Lithium disilicate - Empress II/Emax Glass infused e.g. InCeram Cast glass e.g. Dicor ```
46
Why use CAD/CAM for porcelain?
High standard and uniform
47
Why prepare teeth first for a veneer?
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
Why should veneer prep be only into enamel not dentine?
To maximise resin bond strength and reduce tensile stress in the porcelain
49
What is the tooth prep for porcelain veneers?
Minimal prep and even reduction 0.3-0.5mm mini chamfer Facial reduction in 2 planes
50
How can you adjust the veneer prep if the incisal edge is in occlusion?
Would want more ceramic on the incisal edge to withstand the occlusal forces
51
When may you use the 'window' or intra-labial technique for veneer prep? What is different about this prep?
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
What is involved in the long bevel preparation?
Keep the length if the incisal edge | Half of the incisal edge has been reduced
53
Why do they need to be temporised?
Aesthetics Sensitivity Diagnostic - test the contour, shape, length
54
What are the different types of temporaries that can be made?
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
When are you more likely to need to temporise the prep?
When preps more aggressive and dentine is exposed | They can also serve as provisionals?
56
What type of cement is used and why?
Light cured composite luting agent - may want dual cured, less opaque Share part of applied loading stresses during the masticatory cycle
57
What happens at the try-in veneer stage
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
How do you prepare the veneer for cementation?
``` 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
Why treat the veneer with phosphoric acid?
improves the bonding strength
60
How much acetone is needed to make sure all try-in paste is removed?
40ml Acetone
61
What does the silane coupling agent do?
Apply to the internal etched surface Chemically bonds to ceramic Makes ceramic surface hydrophobic
62
When would you use a more opaque cement?
Discoloured/dark teeth
63
Why use a veneer carrier?
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
What happens if the veneer is not held firmly during initial polymerisation?
Suck back occurs causing gaps at the margins
65
What can resin spaces be caused by?
insufficient luting resin and incorrect sequence of seating multiple veneers
66
What do you do when finishing the cementation of the veneer?
Use floss to remove the excess cement or finishing burs Check the occlusion Finish with polishing points
67
Why don't you want ledges or excess cement?
Food trap Gingival irritation Recession - then see the margin
68
What are resin spaces caused by?
Insufficient luting resin | Incorrect sequence if seating multiple veneers
69
When can you get fracture of the veneer?
Unfavourable occlusion Parafunction Bonding to existing restorations
70
Apart from fracture why else may a veneer fail?
Micro-leakage/marginal staining | Debonding
71
What are the 3 types of veneer fracture?
Static Cohesive Adhesive
72
What is a static fracture?
When segment of veneer fractures but remains on the tooth | Due to excessive loading or polymerisation shrinkage
73
What is Cohesive fracture?
Within the body of porcelain due to tensile loads from excessive functional or parafunctional loading Results in loss of fragment
74
What is Adhesive failure?
Failure of bonding interface | Due to weak bond or severe occlusal loading
75
If have a debonded veneer and the luting agent is still on the tooth, what does this mean?
Inadequate etching of veneer or no silane coupling agent
76
If have a debonded veneer and the luting agent is still on veneer what does this mean?
Problem with bonding materials, placement technique or bonding substrate - more likely when predominately dentine
