ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the long term clinical effect of porcelain laminate veneer esthetic restoration for fluorosis teeth. Methods One hundred and thirty-two fluorosis teeth of 11 patients were restored with porcelain laminate veneer for esthetic purpose and the clinical effects were evaluated with modified Rygescriteria at 1.0 week, 0.5-year, 1.0-year, 1.5-year, and 2.0-year recalled time. Results After 2.0 years application, none of the veneers debonded, "A" degree rate of marginal adaptation was more than 85%, "A" degree rate of cavosurface marginal discoloration was more than 90%, "A" degree rate of secondary caries was more than 99%, "A" degree rate of post-operative sensitivity was more than 75%, and "A" degree rate of color match was more than 70%, "B" degree rate of color match was 100%. Conclusions The research indicates that the porcelain laminate veneer is a good esthetic restoration method for fluorosis teeth and the long term clinical effect is stable.
