The Uveneer produces a gloss to the facial surface of the restoration by blocking the oxygen-inhibited layer. This, together with an ideal contour, means no finishing or polishing is required except to the edges of the restoration.
When a restoration is fabricated, blocking out this oxygen-inhibited layer, there is an increased hardness and colour stability to the outer layer. As with conventional composite veneers, repairs are easily made and it is a relatively simple and quick procedure to renew the outer layer with the Uveneer templates should there be any deterioration over time. The Uveneer kit comprises a tiered box of autoclavable thermoplastic translucent templates of both upper and lower arches, including both anteriors and premolars.
There are two sizes — large and universal dependent on smile design proportions — and these will cover most of the cases that a dentist will be faced with.
The templates are made of medical grade plastic and can be reused many times. The use of the Uveneer template system means that shiny, anatomically correct restorations are reproduced time after time both quickly and easily. The plastic templates have a special coating that does not adhere to composite resins or the bonding agents.
Obtaining an optimal aesthetic result using a single veneer can be extremely taxing to the clinician. With Uveneer, patients can see their tooth transformed in a matter of minutes. The following case illustrates how Uveneer allowed for a successful outcome in such a situation. Figure 1. A year-old woman attended, having just completed orthodontic treatment. A letter had been received from her orthodontist explaining that her upper right central incisor had been extruded as far as possible and suggested that a composite restoration be undertaken to improve her appearance.
A metal chain retainer had been embedded in composite and placed palatally for retentive purposes. The tooth was prepared for a veneer in the usual fashion. There is some debate as to whether to prepare a tooth before a veneer is placed. In this instance, the tooth was prepared to allow an increased area for bonding because of the roughed surface area produced. It was also done to ensure that the restoration was not too bulky or overcontoured. Figure 3. Figure 4. The tooth was washed and dried and Futurabond U Voco was applied, which was subsequently cured.
It is possible to omit the application of etching gel when using Futurabond U as it contains a self-etching component. However, with slightly increased bond strengths produced when using a separate etching stage, it was decided to carry out this additional step nevertheless.
Figure 5. Shade matching was then performed. After deciding upon the larger template for the upper right central incisor, the shades Amaris O1 and TN translucent neutral Voco were chosen.
Figure 6. The eventual film thickness of this surface layer will be extremely thin and have negligible influence on the colour but this composite adds to the final gloss and may reduce the propensity for the formation of air blows. Calamia and R.
They introduced the idea of using dental etch and bonding resins to improve the longevity of porcelain veneers. The etching and bonding techniques developed by Bunocore, Simonsen, and Calamia are still in use today. In addition, modern veneers are more stain-resistant and natural-looking than ever before.
Once bonded into place, porcelain veneers can last upwards of 20 years with proper care and maintenance. Are you curious about porcelain veneers?
