title: [Bonded porcelain laminates--an alternative to anterior porcelain crowns].
abstract: The trend towards esthetic dentistry, which originates in the USA, has added new dimensions to the treatment of anterior teeth. One of it is the porcelain laminate technique. Using composites, extremely thin, manually prepared porcelain laminates with a thickness of 0.3 to 0.5 mm are bounded to the labial aspect of front teeth or laterals. On account of the low laminate thickness very little enamel preparation is needed. The residual enamel mass and the translucency of the ceramic material produce a natural appearance and optimal cosmetic results. This technique enables the dentist to restore the shape and color of esthetically compromised teeth.
