Gurel Galip The Science and Art of Porcelain Laminate Veneers (1850970602)
This text details the expanding field of porcelain laminate veneers in aesthetic dentistry. It guides the aesthetic dentist in understanding the needs of the patient and formulating a treatment plan that includes not only aesthetic considerations, such as colour and smile design, but also occlusal, periodontal and functional requirements. In addition, it discusses the use of porcelain laminate veneers in diastema closure, the treatment of tetracycline discolouration and in conjunction wih orthodontic therapy. New techniques to ensure minimally invasive tooth preparation and maximum space creation for the dental technician are explored, and impression materials for porcelain laminate veneers are compared. The detailed guides to alternative porcelain materials and their step-by-step applications should make this book useful to general practitioners, dental technicians and the entire aesthetic team.
