title: Use of heat-pressed leucite reinforced porcelain in "difficult" veneer cases: a clinical report.
abstract: Two clinical situations are presented where a heat-pressed leucite reinforced ceramic veneer system was used. For these situations the system was advantageous when veneers (1) required bulk or variable thicknesses or (2) were under load from function and parafunctional activity. This porcelain veneer system addressed some of the concerns associated with standard feldspathic porcelain and castglass systems. Practitioners should consider its use for situations that require a stronger veneer material.
