title: Porcelain laminate veneers with three-dimensional shade reproduction.
abstract: A new system for creating porcelain veneers with three-dimensional shade options is described. The development of a new porcelain consisting of an intense colour which provides natural tooth aesthetics in layers of only 0.5 mm has made the system possible. In addition a masking porcelain may be used over discoloured tooth tissue. The new system is claimed to supersede the sometimes less aesthetic shades created with other laminate systems, as well as enhancing the marginal integrity of the veneer.
