Clinical Performance of Porcelain Laminate Veneers with Minimal Preparation: A Systematic Review
Aim: To investigate the longevity of ceramic laminates with minimally invasive preparations. Materials and methods: The research was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases, using the keywords "dental veneers" or "dental porcelain" or "dental laminates" and survival or survivorship or longevity or "follow up studies" and Kaplan Meier. The studies selected for analysis were clinical trials where the ceramic laminates were made with anywhere from no cavity preparation to minimum preparation with a 1 mm maximum depth. Results: Of 197 citations identified, five studies were included. Conclusion: The survival of the ceramic laminates with minimal preparation is satisfactory, which leads us to conclude that the technique has longevity for 10 years.
