Abstract
A beautiful smile is a smile that looks good, natural, healthy, conservative and can last. No-prep indirect veneers are a conservative cosmetic treatment that can be made of 0.3 mm thick laminate. They have many advantages over traditional veneers but have limited case selection, is more technique sensitive, and the absence of finish line is claimed to indirectly result in gingival irritation. The aim of this report is to state and explain the differences between traditional veneers and no-prep veneers, the steps followed for no-prep veneers in the reported cases, and to present the treatment and follow up of 4 different no-prep veneers cases in terms of esthetic longevity, periodontal health, patient satisfaction and overall impact of the treatment. The non-prep veneers used in these cases were made from Cerinate feldspathic pressable porcelain which is a leucite-reinforced glass ceramic by DenMat.. During the seven years of follow up with the patients, none had debonding failure. It was found that: meticulous oral hygiene and commitment to follow-up appointments had a great impact on the periodontal health outcomes, cleaning the gingival and interproximal areas is more challenging than traditional veneers, Fracture/chipping of the no-prep veneers is one of the disadvantages encountered specially at the very thin gingival margin, adequate adaptation of the no-prep veneers is crucial for the success of the treatment and that treatment is highly satisfactory with avoidable adverse outcomes. It is suggested that patients with no-prep veneers come to follow up appointments more frequent than twice a year (3-4 times a year) and to have more meticulous oral hygiene measures of brushing at the gingival areas and flossing due to the higher susceptibility of plaque accumulation due to the absence of finish line.
