Hello Dr. Cutbirth. First I have to say, that your videos are great. I like your real life approach! I just want to add one information to this video, so that the viewers don‘t stop using a Silane oder MDP containing luding agent. As seen in other videos you like to use Scotchbond directly on the ceramic. Scotchbond, which is an universal adhesive, contains not only a silane but also MDP, both which have a strong bond to Sio2-groups. Greetings from Germany.

[@centerforard]

Thank you for the information. I am always open to education. I have used 3M products for resin bonding for many years and even though we have had 3Ms leading R and D person speak at my teaching center in Dallas multiple times, I was not aware silane was in the primer/adhesive. I am not opposed to that at all. I have just never used silane alone on the veneers.

Great video Dr. Cutbirth. Something to note, the removal of porcelain becomes quite simple when using an Erbium laser at 10Hz and 300-400 mJ of energy as it will promptly debond it.

[@centerforard]

If a veneer "debonds," there was probably an issue with the placement. A veneer can fracture, just like a natural tooth, but I do not expect them to debond. Take your practice to the Top Tier.

Great video Doc! I’m from Australia and we learn dry bonding to dentine and using primer as a means to rehydrate collagen to strengthen the bond. We are also taught to use 4th Gen- 3 step bonding protocol with etch/prime/bond. They tell us to dry the dentine bone dry before placing primer and then unfilled resin. Could I get your input and potentially some articles to read?

[@centerforard]

Acetone is the primer carrier and acetone is attracted to moisture. Does it make sense to "bone dry" the dentin if you wish to achieve a hybrid layer in the dentin with the primer, which requires the primer to be "drawn" into the dentinal tubules along with the acetone carrier? If the dentin is desiccated, the acetone will not be drawn into the dentinal tubules with the primer, so no, or minimum hybrid layer. Common sense. I don't feel the generation of bonding material is the most important part of bonding. They all will work well if the system is used correctly. Take your practice to the Top Tier.

[@vasjapupkin1710]

While I am aware of existance of different protocols for bonding veneers, the one described in the video is very far from what is considered a contemporary approach. The dentin if exposed should be immediately sealed with adhesive, and is reffered to as immediate dentin sealing. This should occure before placement of temporaries. Enamel should be dried completely to the state of chalk - white appearance, because in two component adhesive systems the second component is hydrophobic

[@centerforard]

I know there are some who feel dentin should be sealed with primer/adhesive if it is present following veneer preparation. I use a primer/adhesive system in one application. The enamel does not need to be dry prior to veneer placement.

[@afshakazi5847]

Thanks doc... Really appreciate your videos... Very informative ! Only doubt i have is why the bonding agent is not cured?

[@centerforard]

Cure the primer/adhesive at the same time you cure the filled resin. That way you do not have to worry about the primer/adhesive getting on a tooth you do not want it on. There is no reason to cure the p/a before you have the veneers seated with the filled resin. Watch my other videos on veneers in the library of DentistryMasterClasses.com. I have used this basic method since the 80s. It works beautifully. Take your practice to the Top Tier.

Chai SY et al. 2018 in critical review support veneer butt joint over palatal chamfer design which is more liable to fracture

[@centerforard]

Yes. Thanks for your comment.

[@suhakhaled1984]

Thanks for sharing dr... I agree that vineer is not as prone to fracture as the natural enamel but I do think that comapring the number of patients with fractured vineer to those with a fractured tooth is not appropriate as the number of population who have a vineer is way too small compared to the natural teethed ones...

[@centerforard]

What I am saying is I very rarely have a patient fracture a veneer, and I place a lot of veneers. My feeling about the strength of veneers is supported by the studies. Of course there are variables, such as the method a particular laboratory technician employs when he/she fabricates a veneer. The excess water must be vibrated out of the porcelain/water mix when the porcelain is being stacked or the porcelain will be more prone to fracture. There are many different techniques used by lab technicians and dentists, some much better than others. Therefore, all veneers are not the same regarding strength and aesthetics. The veneers I am now placing have an e-max core with porcelain stacked on the core. Beautiful and very strong.

[@centerforard]

3M rely x veneer luting composite, 3M Unicem for crown and bridge cement, 3M filled resin/composite for direct composites. I don't think it is so much the material as the correct technique that makes the difference. I have used 3M products for many years because they have a reputable r and d department and have a large variety of reputable materials for different procedures. I don't want to spend a lot of emotional energy selecting luting materials. I tend to stay with a product, technique, technician once they are proven. I don't change just for the sake of changing. I like predictability.

The gingival-facial margin of a veneer is normally a knife edge or small chamfer. The enamel in the gingival 1/4 of the tooth is normally only about 0.3mm thick. You would prefer to keep the margin in enamel if the tooth is not too dark or has a composite restoration in the gingival portion of the tooth. Take your practice to the Top Tier.

Hello Dr. Steven. I have a question that may be a bit odd but maybe you will know of a solution. When I was younger I had very pronounced canine fangs, upper and lower, that I loved but a dentist shaved them down to nothing while I was out for fillings. Is there any way that I can have them built back up that isn't implants or having the tooth shaved down even more?

Veneers or crowns are the only way if you want a longer lasting restoration. Be sure and wear a nightguard.

So sorry about your depression over your veneers. I cannot diagnose dental conditions without examining the patient. Go see a good dentist.

[@DrSJagan-yi9hr]

Your videos are awesome and I follow most of your techniques sir. For direct composite restoration i use your bonding technique but with 4th generation bonding agent that is Teeconom bond because it is way cheaper and the bond strength of 4th generation is higher than other generations if etch and rinse technique is followed. So now can i use the same bonding agent for indirect metal, zirconia and emax ? Awaiting your precious tip.

[@centerforard]

Keep the procedures as simple as possible, which eliminates mistakes. I use Unicam cement for cementing all restorations except veneers. I use RelyX luting composite for cementing veneers. Both these cements are procured by 3M, a very reputable company with an excellent R and D department. You could go crazy trying to find the composite system with the "strongest" bond strength. The cause of dental failures is rarely the material, but the dentist using the material incorrectly. Most of the dental materials are plenty strong enough and work if used correctly. I teach one way that works well, and has worked well consistently for many, many years, to do all the procedures I teach in DM and DenstistryMasterClasses.com videos. I suggest you use those methods precisely, and you will achieve excellent results. Don't modify the methods. After about 5 years of attending 10 of my 2 day Dallas courses annually, before we closed my hands on center in Dallas (CARD) at the end of 2019 after 20 years, of operation one of my teaching faculty said to a class, " for the past 5 years I have tried to modify Steve's techniques.

What would you do for the incisal portion of anterior teeth for a patient who is a bruxer and who has already ground about 1mm off of the incisal portion of their anterior teeth? Still flat with no "taco"?

[@centerforard]

Severe wear cases are some of the most difficult. I have a library of restoring severe wear cases in DentistryMasterClasses.com and am in the process of adding many more. The problem with restoring severe wear cases is 1) the need for vertical dimension increase and 2) if the patient is still grinding, even with a nightguard they can do the same thing to the restorations as they did to their natural teeth if they grind during the day when they are no wearing the nightguard. The other problem is even if they have a nightguard, at some point, during a daytime nap or if the take out the nightguard while sleeping, they are going to clinch/grind their teeth together, teeth on teeth. When that happens, their is a good chance a restoration is going to break. Do this: place your finger between your teeth and bite down as hard as you can stand it! Guess what, that pressure, biting as hard as you can stand it, is about 5% of your maximum biting pressure! Imagine if the patient were biting, grinding, clinching at 100% of their maximum, ungoverned biting pressure! Nothing is going to withstand that kind of pressure! That is why I tell dentists in seminars to be very careful and thoughtful before restoring a severe wear case. There is a predictable way to do it, but if you do not really know what your are doing, they can come back to bite you!

Why when my veneer debonds the composite cement is always on the teeth, while the veneer is clean? What am I doing wrong?

[@centerforard]

The composite should always be on the veneer if it should debone. Something is contaminating the tooth side of the veneer. It may be the silane if you are not using it precisely.. That is why I never use silane. Also, be sure you are blowing off the excess primer/adhesive. Take your practice to the Top Tier.

I have many cases of diastema closure. The issue is how large is the space. It the space is large, orthodontic closure of the space is necessary prior to veneering. I will post some cases on that topic and discuss where you put the space once you close the space, say between the central incisors..

Good day doc. Does your tooth preparation technique can be utilize for indirect composite veneer?

[@centerforard]

I would think so, but I do not do indirect composite veneers. My feeling is they look good when they leave the office, but they normally quickly stain and chip. Not to mention complete composite veneers are a lot of work. I do not perform any procedures I cannot stand behind. When the composite stains and chips, I do not want the patient to be dissatisfied or expect me to repair it free of charge. To me, a full facial coverage composite veneer is like a removable denture, especially a lower, without implant support. The adjustments are never ending, trying to get the denture to fit comfortably, so I do not do lower dentures without implants.

which primer adhesive do you use?

[@centerforard]

3M. I think all the primer/adhesives are probably good if you use them correctly. I use a separate etch, then primer/adhesive combined. Be sure to blow off the primer/adhesive until nothing wiggles to blow off the acetone carrier. Cure the p/a for 5 seconds prior to placing the filled resin if it is a direct composite. Do not cure the p/a before placing the filled resin if cementing a veneer. Watch some of my other videos and I go over all the products. Take your practice to the Top Tier.

IF VENEER ETCHED IN THE LAB , IT WILL BE CONTAMINATED IN THE TRIAL STEP BEFORE FINAL CEMENTATION AND NEED RE ETCHED ?

[@centerforard]

No. The etching just opens up spaces in the porcelain for greater mechanical retention. Once you try the veneer on the tooth, just wipe the tooth side of the veneer with isopropyl alcohol on a cotton ball, then dry it off, place the primer/adhesive, then filled resin (luting composite) and cement. Be sure you have cleaned and etched the tooth and placed primer/adhesive on the tooth. Also, be sure to blow off the excess primer/adhesive from the veneer and tooth before applying luting composite in the veneer.

Stay out of dentists’ business sir.

[@yonchrr]

WRONG. Veneers aren't as strong as full crowns. That's just wrong.

[@centerforard]

I wonder why you would think that? The studies do not support that opinion. With a full crown, the coping is some metal like zirconium or metal. With veneers, the coping is the natural tooth. I rarely have a veneer fracture. Read the studies. If you are having problems with veneer fracture, you may not be using a good technique. Be sure you are not removing the excess luting composite prior to setting it initially for a second with a curing light. Also, silane can be a possible contamination if not used properly. I have never used silane on the tooth surface of a veneer for that reason. Now we fabricate many veneers from e-max. They are very strong, certainly as strong as a full crown unless the full crown is zirconium. Additionally, I never place a full crown on a lower incisor and prefer not to place full crowns on maxillary central or lateral incisors because those are smaller teeth and I want to preserve as much tooth structure as possible by placement of veneers. The real danger with a full crown on an incisor tooth is tooth fracture from the circumferential tooth reduction.
