Conclusion :
This study evaluated 318 veneer restorations placed
in 84 patients. The mean observation time was 118.72
months. Within the limitations of this study, the
following conclusions can be drawn:
• PLVs offer a predictable, conservative, and highly successful restoration.
• The estimated survival probability at 10 years was 93.5%.
• The main reason for failure was the fracture of the ceramic.
• Increased failure rates were associated with parafunction (bruxism) and nonvital abutment teeth.
• No significant differences were found in the risk of failure of the veneers between the maxilla and mandible.
• Marginal discoloration is significantly worse inpatients who smoke.
