Always enjoy and more importantly learning new techniques from your videos and I have been practicing for almost 35 years.
My question is:: if you are preping for porcelain veneers especially with dark stained teeth and you are reducing the facial and both interproximals,
why not just place a full coverage crown at that point?

Thank you doc for the video
.Instead of incisal wrap isnt a butt joint the best.
I would incisal wrap only if my mip contact is at the butt joint ( ie tooth porcelain interface)
Thank you
Regards

Thanks I'm sure it improves resistance form as well

[ashouhdy]

thank you a lot for your videos., what if there was multiple diastemas ? where should the prep stop ?

[sushantdhalla]

So fracture resistance is more in wrap or butt joint?

[saerkhalil]

So we should break the contact point in all cases?
I used to break it only if there is diastema.

[ossmbc]

so in short, break contacts except when premolars are involved right ?

thx a lot, i faced a problem when i include the inter proximal which is the proper seating of the veneers in the contact area ( especially if the lab is not so perfect ) but if not include the proximal i never faced such problem .... how can i solve this

dr can you make a video focusing only on prximal cutting? im thinking ihow much wrap cutting should i do. is ther any part in the lingual area where i can use as a landmark?

[winsonsunny]

Wow doc you talk like TOM FORD great personality 👌

[josephryanmabaquiao]

Dear dr. for incisal reduction? how much mm should be cut for emax to have strength? some say 2.5mm thanks doc

This is not correct. According to articles we have different types of preps for veneers. Opening the contacts has its own indications. No need to do it for all cases.
