Abstract :
In todays dental world, thinking outside the box is recommended to find simple, practical, and conservative solutions to many dental situations for our patients. Patients sitting in our dental chairs have different expectations and goals. all related to their psychological, financial, and time limitations. We as dentists were trained to achieve treatment results for our patients focusing on preparing teeth, sometimes in a conservative style, but many times with aggressively cutting teeth …
For laminate veneers, the question comes up…should we prepare teeth or not. The no prep philosophy includes full veneers with or without preparation, but is this always the scenario?
Partial or Additive veneers could be an option.
Learning objectives :
- Understand that we as dentists have conservative solutions that can solve many cases using simple restorative options like no or minimal prep. veneers.
- Going for more aggressive treatment modalities, could result in more fine esthetics, but is it applicable to your family members.
- Managing gummy smiles and Cleft lip and palate cases
