Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo study the esthetic and long-term effectiveness of cerinate porcelain laminate veneers.
METHODSA total of 736 front teeth were restored with cerinate porcelain laminate veneers, which were then tested at different time points by clinical tracking observation and appraisal.
RESULTSThe short and long term rates of effectiveness were 96.6% and 96.2%, respectively. There was no relationship between clinical effectiveness and the length of restoration time. The failure rate was higher in 18 - 30 years old patients and those with discolored teeth. The major clinical performance was fold fissure and deciduous of porcelain laminate veneers.
CONCLUSIONSCerinate porcelain laminate veneers are an ideal choice for dental esthetic restorations because they are unnoticeable, stable, strong and require no excessive dental preparation.
