0 in 2024

Conclusion :

It can be noted that the indirect composite resin (Estenia) veneers have a generally lower survival expectancy: 87% after 20,3 months and 75% after 97 months.

Regarding the survival rates of ceramic veneers: IPS-Empress ceramic 100% after 20,3 and 97 months and 89,5% after 11 years. Feldspathic ceramic reinforced with leucite crystals 95% after 11 years. Feldspathic ceramic 89,1% using an occlusal splint and 63,9% using no occlusal splint after 7 years.

Ceramic veneers have, compared to indirect composite, better properties as veneer materials.
Fractures of the veneers are less frequent in patients who use an occlusal splint adequately.
