Smile Designing Using Laminate Veneers – A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Dentistry and Oral Sciences - Year 2021, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Aim: To describe a treatment plan that serves as a functional and aesthetic alternative to orthodontic treatment options that may be time-consuming, for mild crowding in anterior teeth wherein only aesthetics is of concern. Background: Laminate veneers are a conservative alternative to full coverage crowns for improving the appearance of the anterior teeth. Adhesive technologies make it possible to bond the prosthesis whilst preserving the tooth structure.[3] Immediate results are achieved since the prosthesis could be delivered within a few days. Ceramics are aesthetic, biocompatible, wear- resistant, exhibit excellent colour stability, and present a thermal coefficient of expansion similar to enamel. Hence prove to be the most desired material for laminate veneers. Case Description: Laser gingivoplasty was done on the maxillary anterior (13 to 23) to align the gingival zenith. Veneer preparation was done on the same teeth with minimal tooth reduction (0.5 mm) on the enamel only. All-ceramic veneers were bonded to the teeth with light cure resin cement to achieve the desired aesthetic results. Conclusion: Smile aesthetics can be achieved only when there is harmony between the teeth and the gingival zenith. With proper diagnosis and treatment planning, a desirable aesthetic result was achieved. Clinical Signification: Smile designing includes scientific and artistic principles, which helps in creating an aesthetic smile. These norms were found through the collection of data from patients, diagnostic casts, mock wax-ups, measurements, concepts of beauty, and golden proportions.
