Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to study the clinical characteristics and patient satisfaction
of the porcelain veneer aesthetic restoration at the Central Odonto-Stomatology Hospital,
Vietnam.
Materials and Methods This is a cross-sectional descriptive study of 94 teeth in 12 patients with indications
for glass-ceramic restorations at the Department of Prosthodontics at the Central
Odonto-Stomatology Hospital during the period from July 2021 to December 2022. Porcelain
veneer aesthetic restorations in patients were evaluated using FDI World Dental Federation
clinical criteria for the evaluation of veneer restorations for the esthetic parameters,
functional parameters, biological parameters, and reliability. The evaluation was
done immediately after installation and after 3 months. Evaluation of aesthetics,
function, biology, and satisfaction was done using a scale (Scale 1–5). Data were
analyzed using SPSS 18 software and descriptive statistics were calculated.
Results It showed that the achieved results were good in terms of good to very good shape
(100%) and good to very good color (98.8%). Three months after installation, the veneer
restorations were stable in shape and color. The restorations were aesthetically and
functionally satisfactory with no signs of broken or detachment.
Conclusion Porcelain veneer restorations helped to improve the tooth shape and color. The patients
