Abstract

With patients� demands seeking elective aesthetic treatment, dentistry & more specifically aesthetic dentistry has developed a lot in the last decade. One of the major aspects of this field is Porcelain Laminate Veneers (PLV). Thanks to the latest developments in the bonding systems & types of ceramics available nowadays, it is now possible to offer our patients the best aesthetic result with minimal compromise to the dental tissues. In order to achieve that, a precise workflow & a specific set of steps should be followed in such an approach with minimally invasive notions, starting with dental photography, digital smile design, mock-ups & deep cuts to temporization techniques as well as respecting the recommended cementation protocols. This presentation will focus on the workflow, clinical steps & protocol followed in the fabrication of porcelain laminate veneers.
