Porcelain laminate veneer prostheses, also known as leaf porcelain, are dentistry applications that are made to correct the form, color and position disorders of the teeth and give very good aesthetic results. They are very thin, their light transmittance is similar to that of natural teeth and they do not contain any metal, so they are both demanded by patients and frequently made by dentists. Every stage in the construction of laminate veneer prostheses requires precision and meticulousness. A very small amount of abrasion is made from the teeth. These abrasions often remain at the enamel level. In patients with excessive discoloration, increasing the depth of cut increases the chance of masking the color. As can be understood from this; tooth color and position determine the amount of abrasion.
