Abstract:
Dental veneers have become a popular option for cosmetic dental rehabilitation, allowing patients to improve the appearance of discolored, misshapen, or unevenly spaced teeth. However, the traditional veneer placement approach can be invasive, requiring the removal of a significant amount of tooth structure. This lecture will present a new, minimally invasive veneer technique that preserves more of the natural tooth structure while still achieving excellent aesthetic results.
The key aspects of this novel approach include:
1. Minimal tooth preparation: By using ultra-thin veneers (less than 0.3 mm thick), this technique requires only subtle tooth reduction, preserving more of the natural tooth structure.
2. Additive design: Rather than relying on subtractive tooth preparation, this approach adds thin layers of restorative material to the existing tooth surface, maintaining more of the original tooth anatomy.
3. Customized veneer shaping: Veneers are meticulously sculpted and contoured to fit each individual tooth, ensuring a natural appearance and proper occlusal function.
4. Adhesive bonding: The ultra-thin veneers are securely bonded to the tooth surface using state-of-the-art adhesive techniques, providing exceptional durability and longevity.
This lecture will discuss the clinical procedures, materials, and case selection criteria for this innovative veneer rehabilitation method. Attendees will learn how to implement this minimally invasive approach in their practices to deliver superior cosmetic outcomes while preserving more of the patient’s natural dentition.
