Intrinsic discoloration of permanent anterior teeth is a continuing esthetic problem. Tetracycline ingested during amelogenesis has long been recognized as predisposing factor in intrinsic staining. Methods for restoring original tooth color have included (1) complete PFM crown coverage (2) porcelain laminate veneers (3) direct bonding of composite resin, and (4) bleaching. In the case of tetracycline-stained upper anterior teeth, We authors, obtained the satisfactory results by means of gingivectomy, preliminary bleaching and porcelain laminate veneer restoration.

Enamal은 인간의 몸중에서 가장 단단한 조직이다. 이것은 치관을 덮고 있으며 Dentin을 보호한다. 치아의 색깔은 Dentin을 덮고있는 enamel의 두께에 의해 결정된다. 절단면은 Dentin이 없기 때문에 gray-white이며 치경부는 Dentin을 덮고 있는 enamel의 두께가 얇기 때문에 Yellow-white이다. 이러한 면에서 볼때 치관의 색깔은 Dentin이 투과성이 있는 enamel을 통과해서 나오는 색깔과 enamel자체의 색깔이 혼합되어서 만들어 진다고 할 수 있다. 현재 미형적(esthetic)으로 사용되고 있는 PFM은 이러한점을 완전히 만족시킬 수 없다. 잘 선택된 경우에 이러한 측면에서 SHADE를 완전히 만족시킬 수 있는 보철물이 있다. 바로 Porleain laminate veneer이다.

The success of porcelain laminate veneer depends on the bond strength between tooth structure and ceramic restoration and the design of tooth preparation. In particular, incisal coverage and incisal finish line are the two most important factors in long-term fracture resistance. Although the majority of clinicians are practicing incisal coverage and there are various opinions on the geo-metrical ratio between the clinical crown length of the remaining tooth structure and the length of incisal extension in porcelain laminate veneer and the optimal incisal finish lines. scientific evidence still loaves much to be desired. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of the amounts of incisal coverage and the types of incisal finish line on the stress distribution in maxillary anterior porcelain laminate veneers under two different loading conditions. Three-dimensional finite element models of a maxillary anterior porcelain veneer with differ-ent amounts of incisal coverage ; 0, 1, 2, and 3mm and different incisal finish lines feathered edge, incisal bevel, reverse bevel and lingual chamfer with various amounts of lingual extension were developed. 300N force was applied at the point 0.5mm cervical of the linguoincisal edge in two loading conditions ; A) 125 degrees, B) 132 degrees. Tensile and compressive stress in ceramic and shear stress in the resin cement layer were analyzed using three-dimensional finite element method. The results were as follows : 1. The types of incisal finish line had more influence on the stress distribution in porcelain laminate veneer than the amounts of incisal coverage. 2. In case of no incisal coverage, incisal beveled laminate exhibited more evenly distributed tensile stress than feathered edged laminate. And in case of incisal coverage, reverse beveled laminate and lingual chamfered laminate with 1mm lingual extension exhibited more evenly distributed tensile stress than lingual chamfered laminates with 2mm and 3mm lingual extension. 3. As long as the lingual chamfer goes, less tensile stress was found at the incisal edge, while much more tensile stress was found at the lingual margin area in proportion to the length of lingual extension. 4. Under 125 degree load, tensile stress in porcelain laminate veneer had increased compared with that under 132 degree load and the difference exhibited by the change of the amount of tooth support was larger. 5. The types of incisal finish line and the distance from the incisal finish line to the loading point had more influence on the shear stress distribution in the resin cement layer than the amounts of incisal coverage. In contrast loading condition had little influence.

In recent years, as a burden on tooth preparationduring the processing the laminate veneer treatments to enhance aesthetics, the interests and demands for non-prep laminate veneers are increasing which do not require teeth preparation. Although there are clear limitationsbecause the restorations are fabricated without tooth preparation, there is a clear advantage of non-invasivehealthy teeth. When manufacturing a non-prep laminate veneer, an effective design should be selected according to the aesthetic requirements and intraoral condition because the margin of restorationsshould be determined on the natural tooth surface that isnot prepared. In this article, I would like to presentthe three different designsaccording to the range which teeth are covered, and the advantages and disadvantages of them. Non-prep laminate veneer introduced in this article was fabricated using Lithium disilicate press ingot.

With the understanding of tooth crown biomechanics and the progress of dentin adhesives, bonded porcelain restorations including a porcelain laminate veneer present an extended spectrum of indications for anterior teeth. Porcelain laminate veneer as a restoration offers the conservative solution that balances the functional and esthetic needs of the anterior dentition. Porcelain's stiffness, its surface characteristics, and the biomechanical strength achieved through bonding to tooth surface enable the restoration of the tooth as a whole supporting occlusal force and masticatory function. Namely, the optical effects inherent in the tooth and the lifelike features of the porcelain make that this restoration approaches the ultimate in esthetic satisfaction for both the dentist and the patient. A 49-year-old female patient with the incisal discoloration of upper central incisors and black triangle between the central incisors was referred to correct her esthetic problems with prosthodontic approach. The patient was satisfied with two porcelain laminate veneers that were made according to prof. Magne and Belser's recommendation.

결손된 치질과 변색된 법랑질을 수복하기 위해 많은 재료와 술식이 개발되어왔다. 즉 silicate cement, PMMA resin, BISGMA composite resin, glass ionomer cement, porcelain등이 이용되어 왔으나 이것들은 biocompatible하지 않아 이상적인 재료는 아니다. 따라서 인간의 결손된 enamel을 수복할 수 있는 새로운 생역학적인 재료가 필요하게 되었다. 필자는 최근 관심의 대상이 되고 있는 porcelain laminate veneer system(층상 도재 전장관)에 관하여 문헌을 중심으로 고찰해 보고자 한다(국내에서는 장완식 교수께서 1987년 6월10일 보철학교실 세미나에서 video tape를 통해 소개한바 있음). 여기서는 Hobo, Iwata(1985)등이 소개한 castable apatite ceramic material을 이용한 laminate veneer술식에 관해 기술하고 내화성 모형(refractory cast)을 이용한 laminate술식과 비교 기술하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study was to evlauate the microleakage of 3 dentin bonding agents using different dentin pretreatment method under simulated physilogic pressure in cementing the porcelain laminate veneer. Noncarious 60 human maxillary molars were selected and randomly assigned to 4 groups of 15 each. The group with the margin placed on the enamel was classified as the control and the groups with the margin placed on root surface were subdivided into 3 groups according to the dentin bonding agents used. The group using All Bond 2 was classified as experimental group 1, the group using Scotchbond MP was classified as experimental group 2, and the group using Gluma was classified as experimental group 3. Roots were removed at 3mm below the cementoenamel junction, and reductions of the teeth for the porcelain laminate veneer were done on the mesial 1/2 of the buccal surface of each teeth. The pulp was extirpated and the pulp chamber was cleaned with 37% phosphoric acid for the patency of dentinal tubule. Under simulated physiologic pressure, porcelain laminate veneers were cemented to the teeth using each dentin bonding agent and luting cement. After cementation, all samples were stored at 36t in water for 24 hours and thermocycled for 1500 cycles, then immersed in 0.5% basic fuchsin solution and the teeth were sectioned longitudinally by using diamond saw and the extent of microleakage was measured. The following results were obtained, 1. Microleakage was observed in a few samples of control group but all the samples of experimental groups. 2. The control group showed the less extent of microleakage than the experimental groups. In experimental groups the experimental group 1 & the experimental group 2 showed similiar extent of microleakage and the experimental group 3 showed the greater extent of microleakage than other groups. Conclusively, practicing the porcelain laminate veneers in the clinic, although the margin of the porcelain laminate veneer should be placed on enamel, in the case that it is inevitable to place the margin of the porcelain laminate veneer on the root surface, it is recommened to use dentin bonding agents which use no dentin pretreatment or a dentin pretreatment which can leave the smear plugs.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to colorimetrically evaluate the masking effect of different opacity of ingots on the final shade of IPS Empress Esthetic$^{(R)}$ laminate veneer restorations using the CIE $L^*a^*b^*$ system. Materials and methods: Six porcelain disks of IPS Empress Esthetic$^{(R)}$ system (translucency: E 01, E 03, E 0C-1, E TC-1, E TC-2, E TC-3) were fabricated with 7 mm in diameter and 0.6 mm in thickness. Six extracted human incisors (shade: A1, A3, A4, B2, B3, C3) were used as the abutment specimens. The incisors were prepared using a diamond wheel and made with a flat labial surface on the middle 1/3. For each combination of different shades of abutments and copings, the change in color was measured with a colorimeter. CIE $L^*a^*b^*$ coordinates were recorded for each specimen. Color differences (${\Delta}E$) were calculated. Descriptive statistical analysis was done. Results: ${\Delta}E$ values were significantly affected by coping translucency and abutment shade (P<.05). The color differences (${\Delta}E$) of laminate veneers among abutments with A3, B3, C3, and A4 shade were mostly below 2.7 which was within the clinically acceptable range, while color differences between A4 and B2, A3 and B2, and A1 and A4 showed more than 2.7. Conclusion: The final color of IPS Empress Esthetic$^{(R)}$ laminate veneers were significantly influenced by translucency of the coping and shade of abutment teeth. The large value difference of abutment teeth limited the masking ability by laminate veneers.

Recently, according to the concept of minimal invasive, there have been many opportunities for restoration treatment with porcelain laminate veneers that are less invasive and can ideally improve esthetics. Patients also visit the laminate well, and patients also want to reduce the amount of teeth cut, so the choice of the entire trimming crown is decreasing. Therefore, various techniques of laminate are required. Most dental clinicians seem to have negative images of laminates such as risk of fracture, margin pigmentation and dropout. However, this situation is due to incorrect adhesion manipulation and lack of inspection of the occlusal relationship, and there is no problem with the Porcelain Laminate Veneer itself. The purpose and scope of adaptation leading to the success of porcelain laminate veneer will be introduced.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to compare the translucency and color changes of ceramic laminate veneers of different composition following glazing process. MATERIALS AND METHODS. $10mm{\times}10mm$ square specimens of 0.6 mm and 1.0 mm thicknesses were fabricated with IPS e.max Press (EM) and IPS e.max ZirPress (ZP) (n=10 per group). The color coordinates (CIE $L^*$ $a^*$ $b^*$) of the specimens were recorded with a colorimeter before and after glazing. The color changes and translucency parameter (TP) were calculated. For the comparisons with the composition and thicknesses between the 'not glazed' and 'glazed' groups, statistical analyses were done through paired T-test, independent two-sample T-test, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS 18.0 (P<.05). RESULTS. The TP of 0.6 mm EM was higher than that of 0.6 mm ZP. Total color difference (${\Delta}E^*$) between bare and glazed specimens of 1.0 mm EM was greater than that of 1.0 mm ZP with statistical significance. Following glazing, specimens from all groups showed statistically significant amount of decrease in $L^*$ and $a^*$, and statistically significant increase in $b^*$. The result of multiple regression analysis of EM and ZP showed that ${\Delta}L^*$ improved ${\Delta}E^*$. CONCLUSION. Within the limitations of present study, we conclude that translucency and color of ceramic laminate veneers change significantly after glazing process, and the nature and amount of changes vary with different compositions.
