Specifications of an ideal laminate =======================

**Dental lamination** is a popular cosmetic and restorative procedure used to improve the appearance of teeth. In this method, a thin layer of special material (usually porcelain or composite) is placed on the surface of the teeth to fix problems such as cracks, discoloration, gaps between the teeth or even their irregularity. In this article, we want to examine the characteristics of an ideal laminate.

1- Beauty and naturalness

- The color of the laminate should match the natural color of the teeth. - The degree of transparency (translucency) of the laminate should be normal; Not too dull and not too shiny. - The edges of the laminate should be natural and appropriate to the side teeth so that it does not look artificial.

2. High strength and durability

- Ceramic laminates (such as **E.max**) are more resistant than composite laminates and are more resistant to breakage and wear. - The thickness of the laminate should be enough to withstand chewing forces, but not too thick

3. Strong connection to the tooth (proper bonding)

- Ceramic laminates (such as **E.max**) are more resistant than composite laminates and are more resistant to breakage and wear. - The thickness of the laminate should be enough to withstand chewing forces, but not too thick

4. No color change and staining

- **ceramic** laminates are more resistant to color change and staining than the composite type. - The laminate surface should be smooth and non-porous so that substances such as coffee, tea and cigarettes do not change its color.
