Laminate veneers have rapidly become the restoration of choice for the conservative esthetic restoration of anterior teeth. The historical development of the process for veneering teeth is presented, and the significant advancements since the introduction of the concept nearly 60 years ago are highlighted. Heat-tempered composite resin laminate veneers are evaluated, including their advantages and disadvantages relative to bonded porcelain veneers. A new technique for the creation of one-appointment heat-tempered hybrid composite resin laminate veneers is discussed. Recent research into the critical features and properties of heat-tempered composite resin inlays and onlays and laminate veneers is reviewed, as are suggestions for technique improvements based on scientific investigations.

Thermochromic wood-based phase change material (TWPCM) is a temperature-responsive, smart material that actively manages thermal energy in response to ambient temperature fluctuations. The material has become a central focus in research on thermal energy storage and temperature sensing in recent years. A key research direction is the incorporation of delignified veneer impregnated with thermochromic phase change material (TPCM) into a multi-layered structure to enhance the thermal energy storage capacity of TWPCM.

Purpose: This study is designed to explore the effect of Er,Cr:YSGG laser tooth etching versus that of conventional tooth surface treatment on the shear bond strength of ceramic laminate veneers.
Methods: Seventy-six maxillary premolars were assigned to two groups (n = 38) according to the type of enamel surface treatment approach. Group 1: samples treated with the conventional acid-etch protocol.

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.

The clinical success of laminate veneers depends upon their marginal discrepancy (MD) and internal gap (IG). This study aims to compare and evaluate the MD, overall discrepancy (OD), absolute marginal discrepancy (AMD), and IG of 3D-printed (Varseosmile TrinQ and Varseosmile Crown Plus) and computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM)-milled (Brilliant Crios) laminate veneers using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Thirty maxillary central incisors were prepared and divided randomly into three groups ( = 10).
