Porcelain laminate veneers are becoming popular due to its predictable esthetic outcome while preserving natural dentition.  The PLVs can be used to close diastema, to improve tooth form and function, and to restore worn or fractured incisal edges.

Marginal integrity of the veneers made with platinum foil technique has been an issue, compared to press or refractory technique.  In this hands-on course, Naoki will demonstrate his step-by-step procedure of foil technique PLVs, focusing on 3 keys to achieve better marginal integrity: (1) model preparation, (2) foil swaging technique, and (3) incremental porcelain build-up. 

Another focus will be on fabricating bleach shade (brighter than A1) PLVs that look natural while controlling the opacity for masking.  In this hands-on course, two brighter than A1 PLVs will be fabricated: one with A4 stump, and the other one with A1 stump.

In addition to the two veneers, we will work on “Non-Prep Veneer” on an extracted tooth.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn systematic foil swaging method.
  • Learn how to control opacity and translucency for discolored and non-discolored underline tooth structures.
  • Master how to make bleached shade veneers that look natural.

 

Fabricate two PLV restorations and one non-prep PLV restoration
