title: Controlling reduction in the preparation of porcelain laminate veneers.
abstract: For a clinician to deliver porcelain veneers with optimum esthetics, tooth preparation should be considered during the planning phase. Precise preparation requires depth-cutting burs and reduction indices as essential tools. A well-designed preparation will allow the laboratory technician to create ideal tooth contours with lifelike esthetics.
