title: Predictable, precise, and repeatable tooth preparation for porcelain laminate veneers.
abstract: Advances in dental materials and techniques have enabled porcelain laminate veneers to evolve into the treatment of choice for minimally invasive aesthetic dentistry. Treatment planning and tooth preparation are crucial for optimal function and aesthetics. While minimal invasion is important, sufficient space must be provided for the appropriate porcelain buildup. Various preparation guidelines have been advocated for porcelain veneers, yet they vary in accuracy and by indication. This article provides a simple, precise technique for veneer preparation regardless of tooth position and condition.
