[The evaluation of color for the clinical application of thinner porcelain laminate restoration].
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical application of the thinner porcelain laminate restoration, which is initiated in the West China College of Stomatology, Sichuan University.


METHODS
The color of 51 ceramic veneers was evaluated using the chromatic instrument and visual observation.


RESULTS
Among factors affecting the clinical results of the porcelain laminate, the hue of ceramic materials and bond composites played a more important role than the dentition. The brightness of ceramic materials and bond composites were closely correlated with the whole restoration brightness. There was also a close correlation between the brightness and the bond composite.


CONCLUSIONS
Satisfactory restoration results can be achieved by clinical application of thinner porcelain laminate.
