MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE for composite resin cement shade selection for porcelain laminate veneers… There is a “MAGIC MIX” that works well for me: clear resin mixed with bleach shade, typically 60:40. This absorbs some of the underlying tooth shade while increasing value/brightness. “Brighter teeth” are usually desired and the increased value helps with silica-based ceramics, which sometimes end up appearing “grayish”… For thin veneers, I may modify to 80:20 and (rarely) adjust in any other direction based on supporting tooth shade, veneer thickness, and surrounding teeth. Learned that from my mentor, the great Dr Gerard Chiche. In respect to resin cement consistency, I personally prefer a more viscous light-cure resin cement. What is your preference?
