لمینت بهتر است یا کامپوزیت؟ The difference between laminate and dental composite 🦷❤
Is laminate better or composite veneer?
Comparison of laminate and dental composite:
◾Dental laminate
A ceramic layer is placed on the tooth.
In this method, after the tooth is cut and molded, the ceramic layer made by the laboratory is glued on the teeth by the dentist.
This method is usually done in two sessions (mold stage Getting - the step of sticking the laminates)
The video is the sub-step of testing the lamination of the tooth.
A paste-like material called composite is formed on the tooth by the dentist in one session and does not require tooth grinding and molding.
As a result, it can be done in one session.
From In terms of price, composite is more suitable than laminate, and in terms of longevity, laminate lasts longer.
But in terms of cosmetic treatment, it depends on the conditions of your mouth and teeth.
In some cases, according to the conditions of your teeth, a combination of laminate and composite can be used. It looks more shiny, because the materials that make up the laminate reflect light in a very similar way to tooth enamel, and because they are ceramic, they have a shine and look more like natural teeth. Of course, composites also look natural when they are polished, but if we want to have a more microscopic comparison, laminate looks much more similar to teeth. Of course, the precision, quality and elegance of the laminate manufacturer's laboratory is also important. Choosing the color of composite veneer or laminate color: Before doing the work, you can test on a tooth to choose the color you want. Classification of colors in composite veneer In the form of tooth color, it is natural white, bleach B and super bleach BW.
🔲 The whitest tooth composite color
Maybe there are people who are looking for the whitest tooth composite color. But those bright white smiles you see on TV are very unnatural in the real world. Depending on the color and tone of the skin and several other factors, very white teeth are not a good option at all. There are some small rules that will guide you in choosing the right color.
People with darker skin color should use more natural shades and shades of color. The greater the contrast created, the brighter the teeth will be seen, even if you have not bleached. The advice of experts in these cases is to try as much as possible to choose more natural color shades, not bright colors.
People with lighter skin should choose brighter white colors. Because there is not much contrast between the color of the skin and the color of the teeth in these people, you must choose a lighter color to show the whiteness of the teeth.
🔲 layer by layer color technique for a more natural and realistic whiteness
The real teeth themselves have color grading, that is, they are much more opaque in the middle and middle of the tooth, but there is a more transparent state at the edges of the tooth. People can choose much whiter colors and give it a natural look by using the layering technique. Pay attention to the whites of the eyes. If you choose a shade that is whiter than the whites of your eyes, your teeth will look unnatural. The white of the eye is the closest and most accurate source for detecting the color of the teeth.

Ceramic laminate is suitable for this type of teeth. You can see below a sample of very yellow teeth that have been very well covered with ceramic laminate.

🔲 The effect of coffee, cigarettes and food coloring on the color change of dental composites
Long-term color stability is one of the most important success factors in composite restorations.
If the color change in composites occurs shortly after treatment, it will cause treatment failure and patient dissatisfaction.
Color stability of composites It is very important especially in the areas that are important in terms of beauty. The most important issue is that the color change of the composites is not visible to the eye. This color change can be caused by external factors such as the type of nutrition of the patient, such as colored drinks such as tea and coffee, smoking, mouthwashes, or even some drugs, or it can be caused by internal factors such as the type and strength of the composite material.
🔲 The effect of coffee consumption on the color change of dental composites
There is still a lack of information regarding the effect of coffee consumption on the color change of dental composites. Coffee color ions can change the color of "tooth composite". Based on the results of the studies conducted on the effect of coffee on the color change of composites, the two factors of pH and the presence of sugar in coffee can lead to more color change. The presence of sugar in coffee also leads to an increase in the amount of pigment adhesion.
Of course, the use of a coarse toothbrush reduces the amount of color change to a great extent.

🔲 What should be done after the color change of the composite tooth?
If you see a change in the color of the composite, go to your dentist to determine the cause of the color change of the composites and then take appropriate treatment. After diagnosing the cause or causes of the change in the color of the dental composite, this color change will be easily removed by polishing.
In most cases, to remove the color change created on the dental composite, the tooth polishing (finishing) method is sufficient.
If the color change created in the dental composite is more than can be treated by the polishing method, the dentist specialist will use more specialized methods to remove the color change and restore the beauty of your smile. Finally, if you consume a lot of coffee, tea and cigarettes, laminate is the best option for you. Compared to composite, laminate has much less color change and is a more suitable treatment.
🔲 Is tooth composite stronger or ceramic laminate?
Of course, ceramic laminate is much stronger than veneer composite due to its high-temperature laboratory manufacturing, but if veneer composite is done correctly and you maintain it properly (not breaking eggs and hard food materials, etc.), it will have high strength and a long life.
🔲 How long does it take to do ceramic lamination and how long does it take to do composite veneer?
Ceramic lamination is usually done in two or three sessions due to molding, but composite veneer can be done in one session.
