Thus, conservative treatments that are the solution to aesthetic problems involving morphologic modifications and provide the result that the patient expects should always be the first therapeutic option.

Laminate are a conservative treatment of unaesthetic anterior teeth. The continued development of dental ceramics offers clinicians many options for creating highly aesthetic and functional porcelain veneers. This book describes the complete information right from diagnosis to treatment planning, tooth preparation, shade selection, laboratory procedures to cementation, the most important parameters determining the long-term success, correct application, and clinical limitations of porcelain laminates.
