title: A multidie technique for the fabrication of porcelain laminate veneers.
abstract: Porcelain veneers are a challenge for the dentist and dental technician when they are an integral part of complex restorative treatment plans. A multidie technique is described that allows construction of laminate veneers on removable refractory dies in a stone master cast. This system provides flexibility and accuracy with less chair time when used in combination with epoxy resin dies. Multiple restorative techniques can be used simultaneously with one master cast, and emphasis is directed to harmonious working relationships between the dentist, dental technician, and patient.
