[Clinical evaluation of the possibilities of restoring the dental and periodontal esthetics using veneers vs. metal ceramic crowns].
Achiving the esthetic balance is one of the most important aims of the restorations used for the anterior area of the dental arches.


OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the possibilities of veneers and metal ceramic crowns to restore dental and periodontal esthetics.


METHODS
We have evaluated 90 restorations, 40 veneers and 50 metal ceramic crowns, analysing the following parametres: gingival index, bleeding index, plaque index, also restorations margins index, presence/absence of secondary decays, marginal integrity index and the aspect of the restorations surfaces. The study also evaluates patient satisfaction using questionares.


RESULTS
Even the veneers seem to be more indicated to restore dental and periodontal esthetics, the esthetic outcome depends mainly on the way the clinician evaluates and manages the tissues and less on the technique used (all ceramic or metal ceramic).
