199 Part VII Indirect Ceramic Veneer Restorations 201 7.1 Planning for Porcelain Laminate Veneers Christopher C.K Ho Principles Treatment Planning A comprehensive examination with a complete history and clinical assessment is a critical step in this treatment modality The prevention of disease and control should be considered a first priority, with planning for aesthetic improvement such as veneers considered after this has been completed The treatment planning begins with the following: ●● ●● ●● Discussion of a patient’s objectives and the ability of the dentist to achieve the desired outcomes Initial examination A systematic approach documenting clinical findings, including periodontal conditions, existing restorations, occlusion and so on A radiographic examination and study models should complete this initial examination A photographic series of the patient including extra-oral photos of the full smile and lateral smiles as well as intra-oral photos should be part of the documentation process Informed consent With the information gathered, discussions should be held to inform the patient fully about the treatment This should be done in a simple manner, detailing the treatment steps and limitations of treatment Care must be exercised not to over-promise the final outcomes, and also to determine whether the patient is expecting unachievable results It must be remembered that as health professionals we abide by Primum non nocere, a Latin phrase that means ‘First, no harm’ If a patient can be treated with conservative options, then this must be discussed and recommended to patients as part of the treatment planning process Here are some examples: ●● Crooked teeth and diastemas may be treated with orthodontic treatment, which would be advantageous, as there would be no preparation of teeth or long-term replacement required Orthodontics may also be a phase of treatment to position the teeth prior to veneers, allowing for less invasive preparation The introduction of new orthodontic techniques like Invisalign™ may help to remove some of the objections to conventional orthodontics Practical Procedures in Aesthetic Dentistry, First Edition Edited

Practical Procedures in Aesthetic Dentistry ●● ●● Discoloured teeth might be bleached with vital bleaching or, in the case of a discoloured non-vital tooth, a non-vital ‘walking’ bleach may be carried out Small chips on teeth might be restored with direct resin Indications for Porcelain Veneers 1) Type I – Teeth resistant to bleaching: a) Tetracycline discoloration b) No response to external or internal bleaching 2) Type II – Major morphologic modifications: a) Conoid teeth b) Diastema and interdental triangles to be closed c) Augmentation of incisal length and prominence 3) Type III – Extensive restoration: a) Extensive coronal fracture b) Extensive loss of enamel by erosion and wear c) Generalised congenital and acquired malformations Contraindications for Veneers ●● ●● ●● ●● ●● ●● Minimal enamel for bonding Major changes in tooth colour Major changes in tooth positions, such as severe crowding Large restorations within tooth, minimal enamel and reduced tooth rigidity Bruxism (unprotected) or other parafunctional habits, for instance pen chewing, ice crushing Psychological Diagnostic Wax-Up or Mock-Up Utilisation of a diagnostic wax-up (Figure 7.1.1) can help plan the desired aesthetic appearance This should incorporate the patient’s wants that were expressed in the initial treatment planning discussions The diagnostic wax-up provides visualisation of the desired treatment and a blueprint of the final restorations Additionally, a wax-up allows the fabrication of putty keys for provisionalisation and reduction guides for the preparation process The contours and form of the final teeth can be transferred from the desired wax-up to the provisionals, allowing the patient to have a preview of their desired appearance and to re-confirm that they are happy with the planned changes It is certainly advantageous for a patient to view the changes prior to constructing the veneers, due to the cost of re-making restorations if patients are not happy Material Choices There are different types of ceramics available to fabricate veneers, but there are two basic types of materials used: low-fusing feldspathic porcelain and lithium disiliate or leucite-reinforced ceramics Feldspathic Porcelain This is also referred to as powder liquid or stacked veneers It is used in the layering or build-up technique of most modern porcelains This material contains mainly silica 7.1 Planning for Porcelain Laminate Veneers 203 Figure 7.1.1 Diagnostic wax-up on articulated models and feldspar Additional components include pigments and opacifying agents There is no outstanding inherent strength (up to 100 MPa flexural strength), but feldspathic porcelain is twice as strong as human enamel (50 MPa) In the form of a bonded veneer, it gains much of its strength from the underlying tooth structure, the so-called lamination effect One of the advantages of feldspathic porcelain is the ability to build within each veneer different colours, characteristics and even opacity Another advantage is the ability to use a minimal thickness veneer with a depth reduction of 0.3 mm This preparation is more conservative, and more likely to remain in enamel, especially if a reductive approach is required in the preparation Lithium Disilicate and Leucite-Reinforced Ceramics These ceramics were introduced in the 1990s and are made of pre-sintered ingots, which consist of silicate glasses containing a crystal phase They can be fabricated using a pressed approach, where the restoration is created in wax and the lost-wax technique is used to create the final restoration The pressing procedure consists of a homogeneous ceramic ingot being heated and then forced under pressure into a wax-formed void (investment) The process eliminates porcelain shrinkage, porosity and inconsistencies that may be present with brush build-up techniques The alternative technique is the use of CAD/CAM technology and milling the glass ceramics Two of the most popular materials include Empress, leucite containing (Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein), and e.max, lithium disilicate containing (Ivoclar Vivadent) These materials have several advantages, including more flexural strength Due to this higher strength capability, it is possible even to increase incisal length It has been reported that up to mm of missing tooth structure can be restored with leucite-reinforced ceramic These materials have good marginal integrity and wear compatibility They are also available in different translucencies and opacities, allowing the ceramist better colour masking 204 Practical Procedures in Aesthetic Dentistry Periodontal Considerations The patient’s periodontal status must be optimal prior to treatment This ensures long-term stability of the periodontal apparatus and minimises any chance of marginal gingival recession Periodontal therapy should be completed as well as proper plaque control methods practised with the patient for long-term maintenance This also enables the clinician to work with healthy periodontal tissues and not to have excessive bleeding due to inflammation while working on the patient The concept of ‘biologic width’ should be respected, with preparation margins not invading the minimum space of mm between the most coronal level of the alveolar bone and the gingival level The surgical correction of gingival asymmetries, gingival recession, excessive gingival display (gummy smile) and altered passive eruption should be completed and time allowed for the maturation of the tissues prior to veneers being constructed (Figure 7.1.2) This may range from 3–6 months depending on the case Informed Consent Porcelain veneers are often an aesthetic and elective procedure and as such require a full discussion on the benefits and risks, with the functional and aesthetic objectives defined within this process Alternative means of achieving the patient’s goals must be mentioned and a discussion held on the procedures involved, including the steps from start to completion The patient must be educated on the care and maintenance of the veneers, and mention made of the longevity of the veneers and their eventual replacement Figure 7.1.2 Correction of gingival contours with measuring of biologic width and gingivectomy with diode laser 7.1 Planning for Porcelain Laminate Veneers 205 Figure 7.1.3 Complications with porcelain laminate veneer with fracture Maintenance and Complications The survival rate of porcelain veneers has been shown in the literature to be very high Friedman, in a review of 3500 veneers over 15 years, found a 7% occurrence of complications in clinical service, or a success rate of 93% (Figure 7.1.3) Of the 7% failures, fractures accounted for 67% of total failures, leakage 22% and debonding 11% Fradeani et al., in a review of 182 veneers, found a probability of veneer survival of 94.4% at 12 years, with a low clinical failure rate (approximately 5.6%) Procedures ●● ●● ●● ●● Treatment planning – comprehensive history taking with an understanding of the patient’s needs, and a complete medical and dental history identifying any possible risk factor(s) that may influence the long-term success of treatment Comprehensive examination – hard and soft tissue examination, including occlusal assessment and periodontal examination It is important to evaluate the patient’s dento-labial features and to understand features of smile design, addressing any that may be improved It may be that the patient does not understand what makes a smile beautiful; an example may include gingival asymmetry In many a case with uneven gingival contours, carrying out veneers would not give the patient an aesthetic result without addressing the gingival contours Records – photography (see Chapter 2.2) and radiography should be undertaken to assess the case prior to initiation of treatment Assessing the teeth to ensure that there is no pathology or attachment loss with periapical radiographs is an important step in treatment planning Other diagnostic tests – such as transillumination to assess teeth for fractures, pulpal sensibility testing and so on 206 Practical Procedures in Aesthetic Dentistry ●● ●● ●● Study models – these are articulated and assessed for occlusion, as well as planning Diagnostic wax-up or mock-up – used to plan the required changes as well as being transferred onto the patient’s teeth to allow a ‘test run’ or ‘trial smile’, giving them the ability to gauge whether they are happy with the prescribed changes Often a patient is unsure of the final aesthetics until given some time to accustom themselves to the changes Informed consent – the patient should be given all the available options, the advantages and disadvantages of each procedure, along with risks, complications and success rates It may also be at this stage that it is prudent to address where it may not be possible to meet the patient’s needs Tips ●● To communicate clearly the correct final orientation of the incisal plane of the planned veneers, it is important that the ceramist receives a ‘stick bite’ or ‘symmetry bite’ (Figure 7.1.4) This can be as simple as two sticks within the bite registration to register the midline Figure 7.1.4 Symmetry bite or stick bite – This allows the orientation of the facial vertical plane and the interpupillary line to be transfered to the dental ceramist, enabling the correct alignment of incisal edges relative to these planes in the final restorations 7.1 Planning for Porcelain Laminate Veneers 207 ●● ●● and the interpupillary line to the teeth There are also commercial tools available to carry out this procedure, including the Kois Dento-Facial Analyser (Panadent, Orpington, UK), and Symmetry Facial Plane Relator (Clinician’s Choice, New Milford, CT, USA) It is important to explain to patients that veneers can fracture; they are just like natural teeth in that they can chip and break Although veneer failures are rare, they are possible, although it should be explained that the veneers can easily be repaired or replaced It is important to explain to patients the aftercare needed with veneers An instruction sheet is seen in Table 7.1.1 Table 7.1.1 Post-operative instructions on the care of veneers Temporary changes in speech Your teeth will feel different to your lips and tongue when you first close your mouth This is normal and to be expected when changes have been made to the shape and size of the teeth Sometimes your speech may change or be affected in the beginning until your tongue adapts to the changes Even though the changes are slight (measurable only in millimetres), your mouth is extremely sensitive and will exaggerate those feelings at first Usually after a couple of days the feelings lessen and your mouth will feel normal again Daily hygiene We recommend that you brush with an ultra-soft toothbrush twice a day and floss nightly to extend the life of your veneer As with your natural teeth, the veneer may pick up stains from tobacco, coffee, tea, red wine, colas etc Having regular dental cleans will usually remove these stains Do not use baking soda or any abrasive toothpaste Avoid routinely rinsing with mouthwashes containing alcohol Alcohol softens bonding and weakens the bond of porcelain Select non-alcoholic mouthwashes or a solution made of hydrogen peroxide and water Diet and habits to avoid As with natural teeth, avoid chewing excessively hard foods on the veneered teeth, such as: Hard sweets Nuts ● Spare ribs ● Hard bread and rolls ● Ice ● Raw carrots ● ● This puts stress on the veneer and could result in a fracture or a chip Do not bite extremely hard objects with one tooth Avoid habits such as: Opening packages with your teeth Biting thread ● Chewing ice ● Nail biting ● Pipe smoking ● ● Playing sports Extreme force or trauma can break porcelain veneers, just as the same force can break natural teeth Use care when playing sports or other potentially traumatic situations We recommend wearing a sports mouthguard in these instances Continuing care Visit us for examinations and continuing care at regular six-month examination periods Often, problems that are developing with the veneers can be found at an early stage and repaired easily, while waiting for a longer time may require re-doing the entire restorations We will arrange your continuing care appointment with you at the end of your treatment 208 Practical Procedures in Aesthetic Dentistry References 1 Magne P, Belser U Bonded porcelain

(a) (b) (c) Figure 11.7.3 Excess cement on buccal and lingual Excess cement retained on the abutment and crown of the implant in the UR site (a and b); radiograph showing recurrent decay of the UR and peri-implant bone loss around the UR (c) The patient presented clinically with pain, swelling and suppuration from the implant sulcus consistent with peri-implantitis or peri-implantitis, peri-implant bleeding or suppuration, tobacco use and the needs of the remaining dentition When examined by the clinician or dental hygienist at a recall visit, the patient should be asked whether they are having any trouble with the implant rehabilitation, along with the rest of the dentition Prior to any instrumentation of the implant the site should be visually inspected, the clinician noting the appearance of the peri-implant soft tissues and checking for any signs of oedema or tissue recession The soft tissues around the implant should be gently compressed to check for any signs of suppuration from the sulcus, which would indicate pathology Following this, gentle periodontal probing can be conducted Because of the differences in the attachment of natural teeth and implants and the prosthetic transition from implant to clinical crown, the absolute probing depth around implants is not comparable to that of teeth What is more important is the presence or absence of bleeding on probing and the relative changes in probing depths over time associated with the implant The implant can be percussed to check for mobility or pain The static and dynamic occlusion should also be re-evaluated with thin articulating paper and a ribbon of shim stock to ensure its stability and fidelity to the prescribed occlusal scheme The patient should also be screened for parafunctional activity Professional mechanical debridement with gold or titanium scalers, and/or ultrasonic or piezoelectric scalers with plastic or carbon tips, is suitable for debridement of the restored implant While some standard metal scalers may be too hard or abrasive for debridement of the implant, many plastic hand scalers are not sufficiently rigid to remove plaque or calculus effectively A second pre-scripted radiograph, taken in the same fashion as the baseline radiograph, should be conducted year following restoration of the implant (Figure 11.7.4) The capture of a similar high-quality image allows the clinician to evaluate the stability of the bone levels visible on the radiograph when compared to the baseline In the absence of clinical and radiographic signs of peri-mucositis or peri-implantitis, the radiographic interval can be extended to match that of the remaining dentition If those conditions are not met, then an interventive treatment should be initiated promptly or the patient referred to a specialist colleague for further management Tips ●● Discuss with the patient the expectations for maintenance and review prior to initiating treatment Be sure that the patient understands the potential for biological and technical complications associated with implant rehabilitation, the importance 346 Practical Procedures in Aesthetic Dentistry (a) (c) (b) (d) (e) Figure
