Clinical application and effective assessment of cerinate porcelain laminate veneers.

OBJECTIVE: To study the esthetic and long-term effectiveness of cerinate porcelain laminate veneers. METHODS: A total of 736 front teeth were restored with cerinate porcelain laminate veneers, which were then tested at different time points by clinical tracking observation and appraisal. RESULTS: The short and long term rates of effectiveness were 96.6% and 96.2%, respectively. There was no relationship between clinical effectiveness and the length of restoration time. The failure rate was higher in 18 - 30 years old patients and those with discolored teeth. The major clinical performance was fold fissure and deciduous of porcelain laminate veneers. CONCLUSIONS: Cerinate porcelain laminate veneers are an ideal choice for dental esthetic restorations because they are unnoticeable, stable, strong and require no excessive dental preparation.
