No-prep veneers versus traditional veneers: steps and follow up cases

According to the cases discussed in this paper and along the journey of follow-up, it was noticed that none of the cases had debonding of the laminates. Patients’ adherence to oral hygiene and commitment to follow-up appointments play a major role in the success of no-prep veneer treatment. No-prep veneer treatment needs more meticulous oral hygiene measures and more
frequent follow-up appointments, as cleaning the gingival and interproximal areas is more challenging than veneers with finish lines.

Fracture/chipping of the no-prep veneers is one of the disadvantages, especially at the very thin gingival margin. Inadequate adaptation of the no-prep veneers is detrimental to the success of the treatment. No-prep veneer treatment is highly satisfactory, with avoidable adverse outcomes and appropriate case selection.

Within the limitations of this review/case study, it is suggested that no-prep veneers patients come for follow-up appointments more frequently than twice a year (3-4 times a year). It is also important to explain to the patient before treatment that having no-prep veneers will require more meticulous oral hygiene measures of brushing at the gingival areas and flossing due to the higher susceptibility of plaque accumulation due to the absence of a finish line
