Facing

Facing

When we say dental facing, we actually refer to frontal teeth, which can be restored either by using composite material, or with the aid of ceramic veneers. In both cases, the faced tooth needs a preliminary preparation, which consists of the removal of the enamel coating from its external side by polishing.

If composite materials are used, the facing is made in a single session. Although compared with ceramic veneer, the composite facing has the advantage of a shorter term of execution, it also has a series of drawbacks such as: colour and size instability in time and the impossibility of finishing it compared with the ceramic veneer. When used in the frontal area to restore the aesthetic factor, the aim is to minimally remove the hard substance from the surface of the tooth, and afterwards to make a veneer about 0.5 mm thick. This will be cemented on the previously prepared area. The advantage of this technique is the fact that the removal of substance is minimal, the time of execution is low and the aesthetics is enviable. This enables the treatment of teeth with coronary fractures, coloured teeth, teeth affected by caries or slightly irregular teeth.
Ceramic veneers can be successfully used in case of:
unaesthetic interdental spaces, minor or moderate dental clusters, low and average quantities of intrinsic colorations (tetracycline and fluorosis), teeth with unaesthetic forms and dimesions; dental traumas or cavity injuries accompanied by moderate losses of tooth substance.

Advantages of ceramic veneers: require minor polishes of the external surfaces of teeth (0.6 mm), preserve the teeth's vitality, are very physiognomic, do not have metallic infrastructure, the healed teeth will not have dark shades near the gum, texture and translucence similar to natural teeth, the lack of allergic reactions due to the bio-compatibility of the dental ceramics, the defence of the gum during the processes of polishing, indentation and cementation, because the limit of the dental intervention can be placed in the proximity of the gum (it does not require "blocking" the limit of the subgingival intervention in order to hide it).
