Keramikveneers sind als Behandlungsmethode der Wahl zur nicht invasiven Wiederherstellung der Ästhetik und Funktion von Frontzähnen allgemein akzeptiert, vorausgesetzt, es ist genügend Zahnsubstanz vorhanden, um die Rekonstruktion zu tragen. Allerdings gilt es, bestimmte ästhetische Einschränkungen zu berücksichtigen, wenn z. B. die darunterliegende Zahnstruktur verfärbt ist, was bei nicht vitalen Wurzeln der Fall sein kann. In diesem Artikel wird beschrieben, wie man mit dieser ästhetischen Herausforderung umgehen kann. Internes Bleaching, zahnfarbene Stumpfaufbauten und Präparationsrichtlinien werden anhand von klinischen Fällen diskutiert.
Porcelain laminate veneers are widely accepted as the treatment of choice to noninvasively restore the esthetics and function of anterior teeth, provided there is a sufficient amount of tooth structure to support the reconstruction. However, there are certain esthetic limitations if the underlying tooth structure is discolored, which may occur in cases of nonvital roots. This article describes how to manage this esthetic challenge. Internal bleaching, tooth-colored internal buildups, and preparation guidelines are discussed via clinical case presentations.
