Influence of different restorative material and cement on the stress distribution of ceramic veneer in upper central incisor.

Aims: Considering new ceramic systems, doubts about the appropriate combination of ceramics and cement are common.

Settings And Design: To evaluate the influence of the elastic modulus (E) of cement agents associated with different indirect veneers on the stress distribution using finite element analysis.

Methods And Materials: The finite element analysis was applied to evaluate the stress distribution on the structures.

Minimally Invasive Ceramic Restorations: A Step-by-Step Clinical Approach.

Minimally invasive treatments are a dominant trend in dentistry. Due to the evolution of adhesive materials and ceramics, minimalistic ceramic restorations have been proposed as alternative treatment options to avoid unnecessary tooth reduction. The aim of this article is to show a clinical protocol for the correct diagnosis, treatment planning, and execution of minimally invasive ceramic veneers.
