AESTHETIC DENTISTRY

The 10th International Congress of Experts in Prosthodontics, a biennial event organized by the Association of Prosthetic Dental of São Paulo (APDESP), professionals had some news that will succeed in these new offices are dental,  contact lenses dental. 

The product consists of a thin sheet of porcelain from about 0.2 mm, which is applied on the tooth surface for coating yellow teeth, stained or slightly misaligned. The advantage of this treatment, according to APDESP is that, unlike the procedure performed today, the dentist does not need to wear down the teeth of the patient with drills, preserving the most of their structures nature.  Look the comparison between contact lenses and dental eye: 

Another advantage is propagated to the product wear resistance, its most natural and the fact that no change in color over time. The adhesive used in the application is also largely responsible for product durability. However, it is important to be careful oral hygiene and chewing food very hard. With these precautions the estimated durability of the product is up to 10 years after application.

Contact lenses are known as dental Lumineers in the United States. Lumineers is a brand of laminates made from patented porcelain called Cerinate. The Lumineers require a very small decrease or no tooth reduction. Lumineers are excellent choices when the teeth of the patients had small deformations or color changes. These contact lenses as they are called dental in Brazil should not be indicated for all cases that were previously restored with veneers, so they are not simple substitutes for this type of treatment. 

If the patient requires more extensive changes to traditional veneers may be the best choice. 

Each patient must be evaluated to establish the best indication. May even be a combination of traditional facets of contact lenses and dental.

 The main difference is that contact lenses are made of a special porcelain is much stronger and much thinner (0.2 mm) than traditional veneers. The thickness of which is comparable to eye contact lenses. The main advantage of these contact lenses is minimal dental wear of tooth structure or even any, required to realize these restorations. As a result the procedure is often reversible since the natural tooth structure is not reached.

Contact lenses are custom-made dental and applied over the surface of the tooth. 

Contact lenses dental solve a variety of dental problems and smile can create a highly enjoyable and perfectly aligned. 

Heavily stained or discolored teeth, fractured teeth or who show signs of aging, tooth spacing or misaligned teeth and tetracycline stains are some of the indications. 

The translucency of dental contact lens provides a very natural aesthetic to the teeth restored. 

The Lumineers are designed with a patented porcelain called Cerinate by a dentist who was dissatisfied with the dental materials he could acquire. He began to formulate their materials combining products that allowed him to preserve, restore and enhance patients' teeth without wear is extensive, as with other laminates on the market. This procedure does not require anesthesia and is painless. 

Lumineers are also cost-effective solutions to lighten unsightly dentures and crowns with color deficiency because they can be applied to the porcelain and existing restorations. 

Much doubt has arisen on this subject. As a matter of time or the wave has caught the attention of patients and dentists in Brazil and worldwide. In fact the veneers originated so therefore the issue is not "new", but aroused the attention, largely due to the aesthetic appeal demonstrates that the technique, this is new.
