Summary: | Etched porcelain veneers have now been used clinically for about 20 years. The profession was originally very skeptical about bonding thin shells of a brittle ceramic material to teeth. However, ceramic veneers have proved to be not only very esthetic but also extremely durable restorations.

Part II will appear in the next issue of JERD. |
