For the last twenty five years, anterior porcelain bonded restorations, known as porcelain laminate veneers have been a very elegant alternative to porcelain fused to metal crowns. This was even more obvious with the emergence of the new full porcelain crowns (Aluminous or Zirconia). What choice should we make? What are the clinical steps, and how do we handle them? These are most obvious questions we ask ourselves, on a daily practice. The goal of this presentation will be to show the exact place of the APBR in a modern restorative oriented practice, and to detail step by step these beautiful and very delicate restorations that are “the restorative reference” biologically and esthetically. But also to understand the complex relationship between tooth and its periodontal environment and try to reproduce nicely and durably the relation between the prosthetic tooth and its gingival belt?
