  • Title: Vertical shoulder preparation design for porcelain laminate veneer restorations.
    Author: Schwartz JC.
    Journal: Pract Periodontics Aesthet Dent; 2000; 12(5):517-24; quiz 526. PubMed ID: 11405008.
    Abstract:
    The clinical success of porcelain laminate veneers depends on numerous factors that include the framework of the dental and gingival structures and their ability to withstand masticatory forces. In order to ensure aesthetic harmony, the clinician must reproduce numerous anatomical components (e.g., cementoenamel junction, points of concavity, developmental lobes, line angles, incisal edge survey form) in restorations while simultaneously providing sufficient functional integrity. This article demonstrates the vertical shoulder preparation design, which enhances the aesthetics and stabilization factors of porcelain laminate veneer restorations.
