Even afer placing a lumineer on the tooth one can still get the cavity on the side and the back side of the tooth as lumineer covers the front part of the tooth.If the cavity is big enough to get a rct then it can always be done from the back side of the tooth and if the cavity on the side of the tooth it can be fixed as well ,in some cases we might have to replace the old lumineer with the new one.This happens when there is open margin and will not be problem if we have good integrity of the lumineer.
All Veneers and Crowns can get decay and nerves can die requiring root canal treatment. Decay can sometimes be treated without replacement of the veneers. Root canals can usually be completed without compromising the integrity of the veneer.
Lumineers generally cover only the front and sides of a tooth. When a tooth requires root canal therapy, access to the nerve is usually done from the back of the tooth, away from where the Lumineer is located.If a cavity forms along the edge of a Lumineer, replacement is usually needed. Small cavities sometimes can be repaired, but it is a case by case situation.
The only time any dental procedure will "promote" decay is when the patient don't come to the dentist routinely. As long as the dentist don't place the Lumineers over any decayed teeth areas AND the Lumineers is bonded correctly to the tooth structure, there should be NO "promoting"...
They are the same thing. Lumineers is a brand name from a certain dental lab, that's all. There are several "brand" names available, Durathin, DaVinci, etc. Lumineers gains a following because they were the first brand to advocate "no-prep" or "minimal prep" veneers. You can do these procedures...
Hello. In such a case, we recommend zirconia or emax crowns to achieve a good aesthetic and strength. Laminate veneers do not offer enough strength for teeth with root canal treatment.
