Veneer

Veneer

Veneer refers to a thin sheet of wood, typically produced to a thickness of about one-eighth of an inch or less. This material is crafted through various methods, the most common being rotary cutting. In this process, a log is mounted into a large lathe and spun against a knife edge, peeling off a continuous strip of wood as the knife penetrates deeper into the rotating log, creating a rotary-cut veneer.
Other veneering techniques include plain-slicing, quarter-slicing, and rift-slicing. These...

Area of Science:

Dentistry
Digital Dentistry
Prosthodontics

Background:

Traditional ceramic veneer preparation can be invasive.
Digital dentistry offers potential for improved precision and conservatism.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a digital workflow for ceramic veneer preparation.
To utilize computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) for precise tooth preparation.

Main Methods:

Digital waxing was performed using exocad software for esthetic and functional planning.
Digital guides for veneer preparation were designed with Meshmixer software.
Guides were 3D printed using clear resin for additive manufacturing.
Guides were used chairside to control tooth structure removal during preparation.

Main Results:

The digital workflow allows for minimal and controlled removal of tooth structure.
Preparation thickness was optimized for definitive ceramic restorations.
Enhanced precision and predictability in veneer preparation were achieved.

Conclusions:

A digital workflow using CAD/CAM technology provides a conservative and controlled method for ceramic veneer preparation.
This approach improves the precision of tooth preparation, ensuring optimal thickness for restorations.
