Difference in clinical performance between porcelain laminate veneer restoration and high-flow composite resin coating

抄録

This report describes about difference in clinical performance, especially service period, between porcelain laminate veneer restoration and resin coating applied to the enamel surface. Porcelain laminate veneers were seated to maxillary incisors and canines with a resin-based luting system, whereas resin coating technique was applied to mandibular incisors of a female patient with discolored dentition. The porcelain laminate veneers survived for more than 28 years, whereas longevity of resin coating was limited to shorter period. Although clinical procedure, surface preparation, and bonding system vary considerably, a number of options are currently available for patients with severely discolored dentition.
