This fifty minute lecture will provide an overview of current porcelain veneer concepts, from the initial design phase through cementation, using several cases to illustrate each step. Every esthetic case presents its own unique challenges, and there is never a one size fits all “cookbook” recipe for success, but Dr. Finkel will present his tried and tested workflows for approaching these often challenging cases.
1. Digital and analog approaches to facially-driven smile design
2. Laboratory communication protocols for esthetic cases
3. Material considerations
4. An overview of shade communication
5. Proper armamentarium and Dr. Finkel’s step-by-step tooth preparation protocol
