Enamel hypoplasia--a transitional form of treatment with custom-made laminate veneers: a case report.

Abstract

A 17-year old school boy with enamel hypoplasia of the upper and lower anterior teeth was treated with custom-made laminate veneers bonded on to the labial surfaces of the involved teeth by utilising a light-cured microfill resin-dentine adhesive system and the acid-etch technique. The heat-cured acrylic laminates were fabricated from a wax overlay of the labial surfaces of the anterior teeth on stone models. The laminate veneers satisfy the aesthetic requirements of the patient without the risks and sacrifice of tooth structure in full crown coverage.
