Esthetic and Functional Analyses for Porcelain Laminate Veneers, Wax-up, Mock-up and Making Different Silicone Indexes
Esthetic and functional analyses in porcelain lamina veneers help the dentist in evaluating the patient's current condition and realising their expectations. Wax-up and mock-up applications guided by the analyses provide in the planning of the treatment, preparation, colour and material selection, making of the temproray lamina and determination of the final restoration. In addition, it is possible to control adequate and minimal tooth preparation for porcelain lamina veneers with different silicone indexes easily prepared from wax-up models in the clinic. In our course, esthetic and functional analyses on cases will be explained in detail. The dental technician will demonstrate the wax-up application prepared for a case considering of the analyses. Mock-up and different silicone indexes will be made on the 3D-printed models of the case.
