ABSTRACT
Implant prosthesis is a popular treatment modality but it is not complication free. This article discussed
the management of a cemented, all-ceramic implant crown in the maxillary anterior region that had
veneering ceramic fracture after three years in function. A screw-retained prosthesis was prescribed
to avoid the show of the screw access channel on the incisal edge of the crown. This was achieved by
changing the location of the screw hole using the angle screw channel that overcame the angulation issue.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare the translucency and color changes of ceramic laminate veneers of different composition following glazing process. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 10 mm × 10 mm square specimens of 0.6 mm and 1.0 mm thicknesses were fabricated with IPS e.max Press (EM) and IPS e.max ZirPress (ZP) (n=10 per group). The color coordinates (CIE L* a* b*) of the specimens were recorded with a colorimeter before and after glazing. The color changes and translucency parameter (TP) were calculated. For the comparisons with the composition and thicknesses between the ‘not glazed’ and ‘glazed’ groups, statistical analyses were done through paired T-test, independent two-sample T-test, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS 18.0 (P < .05). RESULTS: The TP of 0.6 mm EM was higher than that of 0.6 mm ZP. Total color difference (ΔE*) between bare and glazed specimens of 1.0 mm EM was greater than that of 1.0 mm ZP with statistical significance. Following glazing, specimens from all groups showed statistically significant amount of decrease in L* and a*, and statistically significant increase in b*. The result of multiple regression analysis of EM and ZP showed that ΔL* improved ΔE*. CONCLUSION: Within the limitations of present study, we conclude that translucency and color of ceramic laminate veneers change significantly after glazing process, and the nature and amount of changes vary with different compositions.

3.Operational specifications for the cementation of porcelain laminate veneers.
Chinese Journal of Stomatology 2020;55(6):373-377
The minimal tooth reduction, esthetic appeal and biocompatibility of porcelain laminate veneers have made them one of the mainstream technologies for minimal invasive esthetic dental restorations. Cementation is a crucial step in ensuring retention, marginal seal and influencing the clinical longevity of veneer restorations. Experts from Society of Prosthodontics, Chinese Stomatological Association formulated operational specifications for the cementation of porcelain laminate veneers, so as to standardize the clinical operating procedures, achieve the long-term success of veneer restorations, and promote the application of porcelain laminate veneers.

4.Color selection of ultrathin veneers in clinic.
West China Journal of Stomatology 2016;34(6):549-555
Ultrathin veneer is a new therapeutic technology developed from minimally invasive theories. Ultrathin veneer alters the unwanted shape and color of a tooth through minimal or lack of preparation. The color of tooth after restoration is mixed with the natural color of tooth, the original color of veneer, and the color of bonding material because of ultrathin (approximately 0.2 mm) veneer. Thus, the color is affected by numerous variations. Full considerations are required for creating designs. The author summarizes clinical points and provides suggestions for ultrathin veneer in color.

6.Expert consensus on porcelain veneer technology in oral esthetic restoration.
Chinese Journal of Stomatology 2021;56(12):1185-1190
In recent years, porcelain veneer restoration has been widely carried out in clinical practice. In order to standardize the clinical behavior, Chinese Society of Esthetic Dentistry organized experts in relevant fields to formulate an expert consensus on porcelain veneer technology in oral esthetic restoration. The consensus described in detail the material selection, clinical indications, tooth preparation requirements and bonding process of porcelain veneer restoration. It puts forward expert suggestions on how to obtain the strong and durable porcelain veneer restoration effect, prevent complications, and provide patients with comfortable diagnosis and treatment experience. At the same time, in order to provide reference for making successful porcelain veneer restoration in line with the connotation of oral esthetics, Chinese Society of Esthetic Dentistry put forward with its own characteristics the concept of taking esthetic design as the guidance, emphasizing the combination of local and overall esthetics, and carrying out multi-disciplinary porcelain veneer restoration.

OBJECTIVETo measure the spectral transmittance of Cerinate porcelain veneer and enamel in different color and different thickness.
METHODSSamples of Cerinate porcelain veneers were prepared in different thickness (0.50 mm, 0.75 mm, 1.00 mm) and different Vita shade (A1, A2, A3). Enamel samples in shade A2 were made with three thickness (0.50 mm, 0.75 mm, 1.00 mm). A spectrophotometer with spectra range (380-800 nm) was employed to measure the spectral transmittance.
RESULTSSpectral transmittance decreased with the increasing in the thickness of specimens and decreasing in the color darkness. The transmittance of Cerinate porcelain veneer material and enamel in the same color and same thickness hadn't significant difference.
CONCLUSIONThe key factor to spectral transmittance of porcelain veneer materials is veneer's thickness, and the color of the materials has also some influence on it. Cerinate porcelain veneers can properly recover the transparency of teeth.

Tooth preparation design is essential for successful laminate veneer treatment. Preservative tooth preparation limited on enamel, supra-margin advantageous for plaque control, and maintaining contact points known as a standard concept. However, the tooth preparation design has been the controversial issue. In biomechanical considerations, the incisal coverage should be decided on esthetic needs and necessity for the anterior guidance reconstruction. In occasion for sufficient enamel thickness, preparation can prolong to the palatal side but not recommended at palatal concavity. Elongation to contact point is selective option according to the cases. If an old resin restoration located at contact area, laminate veneer should cover over half area of that after surface treatment. The laminate veneer can be also selected at a partially discolored tooth root canal therapy (RCT) and at this occasion, the fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) posts are recommended.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the influence of multiple sintering on wear behavior of Cercon veneering ceramic.
METHODSSamples were fabricated according to the manufacture's requirement for different sintering times (1, 3, 5, 7 times). The wear test was operated with a modified MM-200 friction and wear machine in vitro. The wear scars were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM).
RESULTSWith the sintering times increasing, the wear scar width became larger. The correlation was significant at the 0.01 level. Significant difference was observed in wear scar width among different samples (P < 0.05). SEM and AFM results showed that veneering ceramic wear facets demonstrated grooves characteristic of abrasive wear.
CONCLUSIONMultiple sintering can decrease the wear ability of Cercon veneer, and the wear pattern has the tendency to severe wear.

OBJECTIVES:
To analyze the chromatic properties and translucency of porcelain veneers made from different ceramic materials against the background of tetracycline-stained teeth.
METHODS:
Porcelain specimens (A1, A3, B2, B4) measuring 0.50 mm in thickness were prepared by heat-press casting and layering. The L*, a*, and b* values of the specimens against simulated tetracycline tooth and black-and-white backgrounds were measured by a spectrophotometer, and color differences ΔE
RESULTS:
The ΔE
CONCLUSIONS
When changing the color of tetracycline-stained teeth, 0.50 mm-thick IPS d.SIGN feldspathic veneers with an opaque layer provide better chromatic properties than IPS e.max Press LT glass ceramic veneers. However, the translucency of feldspathic veneers is generally poorer than that of glass ceramic veneers.
