“…The other factors in the success of longevity depend on proper preparation guidelines such as margin placement, maintenance of anatomical contours, harmonious occlusions, and adequate thickness of attached gingiva and biological width within normal limits [23]. Brian LeSage published a step-by-step guide to ceramic veneer preparation techniques with parameters of thickness and space for veneers [24]. Oversized restoration is mostly the effect of insufficient tooth preparation.…”

This retrospective study aimed to evaluate if E-max veneers over five years caused changes in gingival, periodontal health, and veneer failures. BackgroundAs aesthetic dentistry progresses, dental veneers are becoming increasingly popular in both general and specialized dental practices. Due to technological advancements in dental ceramics and adhesive systems, porcelain veneers have become a highly sought-after solution for improving aesthetics in dental patients. The success of porcelain laminate veneers, a commonly used method for aesthetic restoration, relies on various factors. E-max veneers are frequently utilized, with their long-term durability contingent upon factors such as color stability, resistance to abrasion, as well as good compressive, tensile, and shear strength, along with maintaining marginal integrity. MethodologyIn this study, data was collected through a checklist form used to record clinical parameters. The clinical parameters evaluated were inflammation and bleeding on probing (BOP). The gingival health was evaluated by gingival index, gingival color, texture, and bleeding on probing, and periodontal health was evaluated by the pocket depth and radiographic evaluations. Finally, the veneer was visually inspected for chipping, staining, and debonding history. The score for most of the cases ranged between 0-1, with only 10 cases displaying moderate gingival inflammation and BOP (Gingival Index 2). Siemens Orthopantomogram (OPG) systems were used for radiological evaluation and documentation of cases. E-max porcelain veneers were only included in the research. ResultsOut of 28 patients, each with 6-to-10-unit veneer cases was examined, 18 patients (64.3%) displayed healthy gingival status with no bleeding area recorded in none of the veneers amongst the 6 to 10 units. In 10 patients (35.7%) most of the veneers had inflamed gingival tissue that was bleeding on probing. The majority revealed the presence of stippling (92.9%), absence of recession (96.4%), and pocket depth (67.9%). Half of our participants had their veneer for more than five years (50%) and the majority presented with no significant changes in veneer recorded like marginal staining, debonding, or chipping (89.3%). ConclusionMultiple factors such as patient selection, proper treatment planning, and design, including material selection, play a significant role in the long-lasting success of ceramic veneers. The retrospective study indicated that proper oral hygiene measures are vital for the long-term sustainability of E max veneers.

“…To resolve uncertainty, a classification system is proposed to help understanding and communication between dentists and patients, guiding conservative veneer preparation as well as with diagnosis, treatment planning and placement. [50,51] This classification divides preparation by enamel remaining, percentage of exposed dentin and working thickness into four groups. Thereby, CL-1 comprise no-preparation or practically prepless veneers which have discreet finish lines or detectable with magnification.…”

Porcelain veneers present a conservative solution for patients who demand improvement of the shape, position and color of their anterior teeth without the removal of substantial amounts of tooth substance. No-or minimal-preparation veneers associated with enamel preservation offer an excellent results in aesthetic dentistry and become an essential component in creating restorations that are functional and have increased longevity. The current literature was reviewed to search for the most essential parameters which have influence on the long-term success and correct application of porcelain veneers.
