Abstract:
We all know that the smile is the biggest contrast on the human face and that makes it even more important to harmonize with the face. Though there is a never ending marketing machine to have whiter teeth and brighter teeth, but we all know that nature has a certain design element built it which can be modified but only up to a limit.
Why should the prosthesis we give to our patients be any different? We need to change form and sometimes function but it should all be done in harmony with the face and personality of the individual.
Keeping certain principles in mind Ceramic veneers should be made to look, feel and function, like natural teeth. This presentation focuses and involves discussing how we can conserve tooth tissue , prevent post-operative sensitivity, achieve excellent bonding and thereby achieve long term results in restoring teeth with Indirect Ceramic Veneers
