Laminates - Suggested technique for Virtual-Try-inLaminates - Virtual-Try-in Technique
Most dental laboratories that are using ShadeVision's
Virtual-Try-in to quality check porcelain laminate veneers use the following
technique:
-
A stump guide or holder is fabricated to match the shade of
the prepared tooth as closely as possible. Use the same basic technique
that is used to create stump guides for pressed ceramic restorations.
-
Place the laminate on the stump guide. Use a drop of
veneer try-in-gel or suitable water-soluble, non-petroleum based gel such as
K-Y Jelly between the laminate and the stump guide material to attach
the veneer and simulate the final appearance with a clear bonding agent.
-
Place the laminate and stump guide into the restoration holder
using clear utility wax to hold it in place.
-

natural central incisors and two porcelain veneers for lateral incisors

Using ShadeVision's "Free movement" tool will then
allow the user to drag these images next to each other in order to best
simulate how they will blend in the mouth as shown below:
