Background: The authors reviewed and identified the evidence for the various incisal preparation designs for ceramic veneers.
Types Of Studies Reviewed: The authors searched MEDLINE with PubMed and Ovid to identify any articles in the English language related to the topic up through March 2017 using a combination of key words: "porcelain veneer or ceramic veneer or dental veneer or labial veneer" AND "preparation," NOT "composite veneer," NOT "crown," NOT "implant," NOT "fixed partial denture or bridge or denture," NOT "porcelain-fused-to-metal," NOT "marginal gap or fit."
Results: In vitro studies showed that the palatal chamfer preparation design increases the risk of developing ceramic fractures. The butt joint preparation design had the least effect on the strength of the tooth.
Conclusions: Surveys show the 2 most common incisal preparation designs provided are butt joint and feathered-edge. Clinical studies have identified that incisal ceramic is the most common location of ceramic fracture. In addition, there is a lack in standardization of the modeling structures and type of finite element analysis.
Practical Implications: The evidence seems to support the use of butt joint over palatal chamfer incisal preparation design. Fracture or chipping is the most frequent complication and the risk increases with time. Incisal ceramic is the most common location of ceramic fracture.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate cracked teeth and vertical root fracture observable on micro-CT images of extracted roots of mandibular incisors, after fiber post removal.
Materials And Methods: Thirty mandibular incisors were selected with any degree of slight incisal wear inspected with the aid of a stereomicroscope under 12x magnification, in order to have a group of young adult specimens according to the criteria of Hugoson et al. A sample of twelve mandibular incisors were selected, aged between 20 and 30 years old, with similar dentine volume and thickness.

Purpose: To evaluate the preclinical teaching effects of digital virtual simulation system applied in window-type veneer tooth preparation of undergraduate dental students.
Methods: In the early clinical exposure of five-year undergraduate students from School of Stomatology, Fudan University, Simodont virtual simulation system and conventional phantom-simulator system were alternatively used in the preclinical teaching of veneer tooth preparation. First, after theoretical training and tests of veneer tooth preparation, twenty-three students were randomly divided into two groups.
Does different application modes of universal adhesives with universal resin composites affect the microleakage in class V cavities? An in vitro study.

Aim: Composite restorations often have gingival margins near the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ), where the microleakage of these margins can significantly contribute to the restoration failure, especially in the cervical lesions. It is important to determine the microleakage is crucial, as it typically occurs through the interfacial gap between the tooth and the restoration. Various resin composites and techniques have been developed to minimize this gap and reduce the risk of microleakage.
