Purpose: To measure the compressive strength of porcelain laminates of 0.5 or 1.0 mm thickness when bonded to enamel or dentin using these resin cements: All-Bond 2 + Choice, Panavia 21, Scotchbond + Opal, and Super-Bond C&B.
Materials And Methods: The buccal and lingual aspects of human molars were sectioned to prepare specimens at least 3 x 3 x 3 mm in size. Thirty horizontally flat enamel surfaces were prepared with a diamond disc for each group using a milling machine. Ten enamel specimens were randomly selected to test the fracture strength of 0.5-mm thick porcelain laminates without resin cement, and the data were recorded for a control group. The enamel specimens of each group were divided into two subgroups of 15 specimens to bond with either 0.5- or 1.0-mm thick porcelain laminates. Four resin cements were used for bonding of individual groups. All bonded specimens were stored in 37 degrees C for 24 hours before fracture testing. The horizontally flat dentin surfaces were prepared on the fractured bonded specimens using a diamond disc for each group. Ten 0.5 mm porcelain laminates were randomly selected to test the fracture strength on dentin (control group). The bonded laminates to dentin were prepared using the same procedure as for enamel. The fracture strengths were statistically analyzed at alpha= 0.05.
Results: Statistically significant differences in mean fracture strengths between groups were revealed. No significant difference in fracture strengths of control specimens between enamel and dentin was found. Super-Bond C&B provided a higher fracture resistance of porcelain than the other resin cements. Increasing the thickness of porcelain laminate increased the fracture strength. The 0.5-mm thick porcelain bonded to enamel had higher fracture strength than that of 1.0-mm thick porcelain bonded to dentin when using Super-Bond C&B and Scotchbond + Opal cements.
Conclusions: Bonding techniques and curing systems of resin cements influenced the fracture resistance of porcelain laminates. Dry bonding with auto-polymerization of Super-Bond C&B resin provided the highest fracture resistance of porcelain. Porcelain bonded to enamel with this resin had a much higher fracture strength than when bonded to dentin.

Restorative dentistry often uses ceramic laminate veneers for aesthetic anterior teeth restorations due to their natural appearance and minimal invasiveness. However, the understanding of their clinical performance and how ceramic microstructure and processing affect longevity is limited. This study aimed to address this gap by determining the mechanical behavior, fracture load, and failure modes of CAD-CAM processed laminate veneers made of either lithium-disilicate-based glass ceramic (IPS e.

Objectives: To analyze survival and complication rates for anterior and premolar laminate-veneers out of different ceramic materials (feldspathic, leucite-reinforced glass-ceramic [LRGC], lithium-disilicate [LDS] and zirconia).
Material And Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted across multiple databases for clinical studies on ceramic laminate-veneers with a minimum-follow-up of ≥ 1 year. The date of last search was on February 19, 2024.

Computer-assisted preparation of porcelain laminate veneers (PLVs) using stereolithographic templates has been developed to enhance the accuracy of tooth preparation. However, the digital workflows involved in guided PLV preparation remain inconsistently defined across various practices. Therefore, this scoping review aimed to examine publications on computer-assisted PLV preparation to identify the key stage of digital workflows involved in designing and fabricating stereolithographic templates, as well as to highlight the limitations of various template designs.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the thickness of porcelain veneers and the type of luting resin affect the opalescence of veneers used for discolored teeth.
- Ninety porcelain veneer specimens were created and grouped based on the type of porcelain and whether resin cement was applied, with varying thicknesses analyzed using statistical methods.
- Results showed that thicker veneer layers and the inclusion of opaque materials significantly enhanced the opalescence of the restorations, indicating a positive correlation between thickness and aesthetic performance.
The main goal of the modern dentist should be to address the urgent need to promote treatments focused on conservative dentistry, together with maintaining the health of the periodontium. Instead, iatrogenesis that results in the invasion of the biologic space is a significant and increasing problem in dentistry. The present case report illustrates a 5-year computed tomography follow-up of a successful minimally invasive rehabilitation involving ceramic veneers.
