The use of porcelain veneers as coronal splints for traumatised anterior teeth in children.
The value of porcelain veneers in a dentist's armamentarium for providing coronal splinting to anterior teeth is highlighted by two case reports. The splinting of weakened tooth structure by the use of porcelain bonded to enamel provides both stability and good aesthetics. In children porcelain veneers provide a simple means of splinting traumatised anterior teeth which have coronal fractures either for the immediate or the long term.
