Laminate Veneers

Course Overview

This 2-day hands-on course provides a comprehensive and clinically focused approach to porcelain laminate veneers, covering the entire treatment workflow from case selection and planning to final restoration try-in and cementation. Participants will learn the principles of case assessment, indications and contraindications, wax-up and mock-up procedures, restoration-driven preparation, gingival retraction, impression-taking, try-in, and cementation.

The course also addresses preparation principles for different tooth groups, common clinical errors and challenging cases, as well as the use of digital impressions and 3D printing technologies in porcelain laminate veneer workflows.

Theoretical Training

• Fundamental principles of porcelain laminate veneers

• Indications and contraindications

• Case evaluation and treatment planning

• Purpose and clinical applications of wax-up and mock-up procedures

• Final restoration-driven preparation principles

• Preparation designs for different tooth groups

• Gingival retraction and impression-taking protocols

• Try-in and cementation procedures for porcelain laminate veneers

• Clinical photography and case documentation
