Abstract
The patients' demand for treatment of unesthetic anterior teeth is steadily growing. Accordingly, several treatment options such as porcelain laminate veneers(PLV) have been proposed to restore the esthetic appearance of the dentition. Porcelain laminate veneers are considered minimally invasive, but they also require removal of sound enamel. One critical step in the porcelain laminate veneer technique is the achievement of sufficient ceramic thickness, and several different strategies for tooth preparation can be found in the literature. This clinical report describes a step-by-step protocols for preparation of these restorations used with the silicone index from diagnostic wax-up and the acrylic resin mock-up. Conservative use of porcelain laminate veneers provided satisfactory esthetic outcomes and preserved sound tooth structure.
