The cement color, ceramic layer thickness, and tooth structure color identify the final color of

Comparative evaluation of fracture resistance of
Ceramic Veneer with three different incisal design preparations - An In-vitro Study.
The maxillary anterior teeth were prepared for
ceramic veneer thickness starting with the labial surface using depth cutting burs from mesioproximal line angle to distoproximal line angle.
One
ceramic veneer costs ` 12, 000 to ` 20, 000 but porcelain veneers are known to be a better option.
For those patients whose gums and bones are healthy and who only need a crown or veneer, the waiting game is over, thanks to the CEREC, a revolutionary new computerized system that allows dentists to produce a

The use of a
ceramic veneer is common for reestablishing the leading edges of the lower anterior teeth when the labioincisal angle has been worn out.
