| Popis: | Objective There are multiple treatment options to enhance a patient's smile, from conservative bleaching procedures to composite resins, porcelain veneers, or full-coverage crowns. Treating patients with porcelain veneers is a commonly used approach in esthetic dentistry. Provisional restorations for veneers can be time-consuming to make and difficult to retain. This article illustrates a technique for fabricating indirect snap-on provisional restorations for veneer cases, describing both analog and digital approaches. Clinical considerations The present article presents an alternative provisionalization technique using snap-on restorations for dental veneers. Application of these techniques will allow for ease of cleansability by the patient leading to healthier soft tissues before the final cementation. Delivery of veneers is more predictable with healthy soft tissue, as bleeding and inflammation may affect the bonding process. Conclusions This technique is an effective provisionalization option in most veneer cases. This approach seems to be well accepted by patients and a good alternative in helping to maintain optimal gingival health with interim restorations before delivery. Clinical significance The use of snap-on provisionals for veneer restorations will allow the clinician to have an efficient technique with better tissue response before cementation. This prevents inflammation and facilitates a controlled delivery process. |
