ABSTRACT
In recent years, there has been an increase in interest in aesthetic treatment using ceramic veneers. Currently, veneers are mainly made of ceramic materials. This paper presents the general characteristics of veneers. The characteristics of microstructure, physical properties and techniques for the production of materials such as feldspathic ceramics, leucit ceramics, ceramics reinforced with lithium disilicate and hybrid ceramics used to make veneers are described. The technologies used to make veneers are also presented. The second part presents clinical cases of the use of ceramic veneers made of selected materials and technologies used.
