title: Cement luting thickness beneath porcelain veneers made on platinum foil.
abstract: Porcelain laminate veneers were made using a platinum foil matrix and were subsequently cemented to mandibular anterior Cymel teeth. Cement film thickness was measured in six predetermined locations. Repeated measures analysis of variance and single degree of freedom contrasts delineated a significant difference between marginal openings at the incisal edge where foil is folded and in four of the other vertical areas (132 versus 74.1 microns). Marginal cement film thickness of veneers made on platinum foil is less than that reported for veneers made on a refractory investment.
