Laminates have been used in corrections and dental reconstructions with a high predictability of success. They re-quire minimal tooth preparation and preserve sound dental structure, contributing to pulp and peri-odontal health. Ceramic laminates provide biocompatibility, color stability and good optical properties, enabling the dental reestablishment with biomechanical characteristics similar to natural teeth.
