Clinical application and effective assessment of cerinate porcelain laminate veneers.
OBJECTIVE
To study the esthetic and long-term effectiveness of cerinate porcelain laminate veneers.


METHODS
A total of 736 front teeth were restored with cerinate porcelain laminate veneers, which were then tested at different time points by clinical tracking observation and appraisal.


RESULTS
The short and long term rates of effectiveness were 96.6% and 96.2%, respectively. There was no relationship between clinical effectiveness and the length of restoration time. The failure rate was higher in 18 - 30 years old patients and those with discolored teeth. The major clinical performance was fold fissure and deciduous of porcelain laminate veneers.


CONCLUSIONS
Cerinate porcelain laminate veneers are an ideal choice for dental esthetic restorations because they are unnoticeable, stable, strong and require no excessive dental preparation.
