This clinically shows the presence of the hybrid zone for bonding.

suction. A moist, wet surface is left for the application of
a hydrophilic bonding resin, and adhesive resin is applied
in multiple applications to create a quality hybrid zone for
bonding (Fig. 9).
Following air thinning, the adhesive resin is light-cured
(Fig. 10). Figure 11 shows the prepared surfaces after the
adhesive resin has been placed and cured. The porcelain
veneers are now ready for placement. A dual-cured resin
cement is placed on the inside surface of the veneer
restoration and the veneer is placed on the porcelain
prepared surface (Fig. 12). A number 2 Keystone brush
(Patterson Dental; El Segundo, Calif.) is used to remove
excess resin cement prior to reaching a gel set (Fig. 13). The
porcelain veneer restoration is then placed on tooth #27
(Fig. 14). The porcelain veneer on tooth #27 is stabilized
using veneer stabilizers (Nash/Taylor Esthetic Instrument
Kit [Hu-Friedy; Chicago, Ill.]) while the gel set is completed
(Fig. 15). After using a scaler to remove marginal cement
excess post gel set (Fig. 16), a cotton pledget is used to
complete resin cleanup prior to light curing (Fig. 17).
