- Ceramic laminate is very suitable for those who smoke a cigarette or other causes that cause discoloration of teeth.
In digital dentistry, porcelain veneer laminates are designed and manufactured as follows:
In the first step, after the photos are been taken, the two-dimensional design is provided by the software and sent along with other possible designs to the patient. Design changes are made at the request of the patient and their discretion and after final approval, the special guides are printed by the 3D printers.
In the next step, with the help of the guide, the laminate model will be formed with a composite, and after correction and patient satisfaction, a 3D scan of the model will be obtained, and finally, a final Cutting and scanning will be performed.
And by using special software, the laminates will be designed and manufactured and finally mounted to the teeth with special cement.
However, the laminate Maintenance method is harder than coatings.
Considering laminitis is only in contact with one tooth surface, it is likely to break. Therefore, it is advisable not to apply direct forces to the laminates, such as breaking the seeds, etc. in the case of multiple laminate breaks for a tooth, the dentist will coat the tooth by changing the treatment plan, which is not aesthetically different from laminate.
