What is Porcelain Lamina?
Laminas are very thin porcelains that can be applied especially on anterior teeth. Strengthening the physical properties of porcelain enabled them to be made much thinner. Today’s dentistry emphasizes restorative procedures that require less tissue loss with a more conservative approach. Porcelain laminates are restorations that can be applied from dental tissue with little or often no preparation. The very good color permeability of the laminates, which are adhered using special adhesives, provides aesthetically perfect results.
