Abstract

Background: Today, we are moving toward minimally invasive dentistry with the philosophy that less is more. Less tooth reduction means more adhesion and clinical longevity. What must be considered when performing minimally invasive preparations is that in a significant number of cases the dental element will receive a veneer that will modify its final contour. This is quite common in cases of canoed teeth, diastemas or loss of dental structure by abrasion, erosion or attrition. Cosmetic dentistry is comprehensive oral care that combines both art and science to optimally improve dental health, aesthetics and function. Its objective is to provide maximum improvements in aesthetics with the minimum trauma to the dentition. Veneer is a thin layer of tooth colored material applied to the tooth to restore localized or generalized defects and intrinsic discoloration. The evolution of material sciences, ceramics, and adhesive system permits improvements of the aesthetic smile design of patients. Keywords: Veneers, laminates, porcelain, dentistry, advancement, esthetics
