Chuckling Smile: Ceramic Veneer
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
Smiling is not a simple option in those patients who have a severe aesthetic deformity. Many definitions of aesthetics were introduced in dentistry but according to Young, beauty, harmony, naturalness and individuality are the major qualities of aesthetics. The dentist must visualize aesthetics in relation to the patient and then translate that visualization into an acceptable aesthetic result. The success of his efforts depends upon his artistic ability, his powers of observation and experience. Many treatment options are available to achieve aesthetics in compromised anterior teeth but in recent era with the introduction of advanced material (new ceramic and composite materials) has increased the demand of conservative treatment options. Porcelain laminate Veneers (PLVs) were introduced in the 1980s as an alternative to full-coverage crowns. The present case report describes the treatment of fracture & diastema in the anterior dentition with thin ceramic veneers, to restore esthetics and function.
