Ceramic veneers have become a popular dental procedure since its introduction because they provide excellent esthetics.1 Achieving the good esthetic results especially with ceramic veneers is probably the most challenging task encountered by dental practitioners and ceramist today. Ceramic veneers are indicated for teeth with moderate discoloration, restoration of traumatized, fractured, worn dentition and abnormal tooth anatomy.2 Many factors affect the long term success of ceramic laminate veneers. The most repeated failure patterns associated with ceramic laminate veneer were fractures, microleakage, colour change and detachment of restoration.3 The main reasons for failure were large marginal defect and fractures.4 The clinical performance of ceramic veneer has shown that the estimated survival rate for the teeth prepared with butt joint design are higher than for the teeth prepared with palatal chamfer design.5 The bonding technique, which is a time-consuming and technique sensitive procedure, is a key to the long-term success of these types of restorations. The strength and the durability of the bond between the porcelain, the luting cement and the enamel/dentin interface play an important role in the outcome of ceramic veneers, particularly when dentin is involved. 6
