Treating Dental Fluorosis with Ceramic Veneers

open access: yesJournal of Aesthetic & Reconstructive Surgery, 2016
Aesthetic dentistry has expanded dramatically in the last two decades and re-establishing dental aesthetic appearance is a clinical challenge [1]. Porcelain Laminate Veneer or ceramic veneers is a thin bonded ceramic restoration that restores the facial surface and part of the proximal surfaces of teeth requiring esthetic restoration [2].
