INTRODUCTION In cases where the patient experiences trauma, the teeth may be fractured or a bone segment could be fractured causing misplaced teeth. Ceramic veneer restorations may be a solution for re-establishing the ideal position. The treatment of misplaced dental arch segment is presented and treatment options are discussed. CASE PRESENTATION A 30-years-old female Turkish patient had a h...

The teeth most commonly affected by trauma are the maxillary central incisors. The most frequent types of traumatic dental injuries to permanent teeth are enamel fractures, enamel and dentine fractures, and enamel and dentine fractures with pulp involvement. This article describes three clinical cases with different levels of traumatized maxillary incisors and several cosmetic approaches for re...

Laminate veneers are a conservative treatment of unaesthetic anterior teeth. The continued development of dental ceramics offers clinicians many options for creating highly aesthetic and functional porcelain veneers. This evolution of materials, ceramics, and adhesive systems permits improvement of the aesthetic of the smile and the self-esteem of the patient. Clinicians should understand the l...

The aim of this article is to describe the possibility of improving dental esthetics with low-thickness glass ceramics without major tooth preparation for patients with small to moderate anterior dental wear and little discoloration. For this purpose, a carefully defined treatment planning and a good communication between the clinician and the dental technician helped to maximize enamel preserv...

Technological advances in materials and techniques have been allowing to obtain natural esthetic results with conservative interventions. Ceramic veneers are very effective tools for both esthetic and functional rehabilitation. Laminate veneers are a conservative treatment of unesthetic anterior teeth. This evolution of materials, ceramics, and adhesive systems permits improvement of the esthet...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Porcelain laminate veneer is an esthetic restoration used as an alternative to full veneer crowns and requires minimal tooth preparation. In restoration with porcelain laminate veneers, both the longevity of the laminate and conservation of the sound tooth structure are imperative. PURPOSE The present study aimed to investigate the shear bond strength of porcelain lam...

With the appearance of all-ceramic systems, providing a choice of framework porcelains and allowing the same material to be used for the veneer, it is now possible to select the ideal structure in terms of both function and aesthetics. Silicate ceramics allow porcelain laminate veneers and crowns to be used in the anterior region, providing excellent aesthetics; while for the posterior area, wh...

In this study, SHS was used to produce metal-intermetallic-ceramic laminate AlMg6-NiAl-TiC composite. The experiment conducted without a cylindrical powder pellet holder produced no joint between the NiAl and AlMg6 sheet. On other hand, inside (CPPH) with blind hole joint. It found that sheet had temperature of 400–550 °C across its entire thickness during SHS. study microstructure energy-dispe...

Progress in adhesive technologies has made possible to perform more conservative restoration techniques. Bonded porcelain veneers have been widely used to address aesthetic dental problems for more than 3 decades1,2. Aesthetic parameter plays an important role when deciding the treatment choice of a patient with diastema. Development of the adhesive materials allows the dentist to construct mor...
