The Science and Art
of Porcelain Laminate Veneers
The Science and Art of Porcelain Laminate Veneers details the expanding
field of porcelain laminate veneers in esthetic dentistry. It guides the
esthetic dentist in understanding the needs of the patient and formulating a
treatment plan that includes not only esthetic considerations, such as color and
smile design, but also occlusal, periodontal, and functional requirements. In
addition, it discusses the use of porcelain laminate veneers in diastema
closure, the treatment of tetracycline discoloration, and in conjunction with
orthodontic therapy. New techniques to ensure minimally invasive tooth
preparation and maximum space creation for the dental technician are explored,
and impression materials for porcelain laminate veneers are compared. The
detailed guides to alternative porcelain materials and their step-by-step
applications make this book invaluable for general practitioners, dental
technicians, and the entire esthetic team.

Editorial Reviews
From Book News, Inc.
Gurel, who practices in Istanbul, Turkey, where he is the
founder and head of the Turkish Academy for Esthetic Dentistry, has written a
volume that supplies dentists with a complete guide to esthetic dentistry
techniques using porcelain laminate veneers (PLV). The chapters describe the
methodology of esthetic dentistry and the steps involved in designing and
implementing the PLVs, including adhesion, porcelain-bonded restoration and
function, color, and periodontal considerations. A 100-page central chapter
provides an atlas of the treatment that leads the reader through each step.
Other topics include failures, PLVs for diastema closure, and patient education.
Some of the chapters are authored by six other specialists who practice in
Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Turkey, and the US. The volume is well illustrated
with color plates.Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR
