To analyze the nursing difficulties, strategies and effect of the adhesion of minimally invasive porcelain veneers.

In this study, 36 patients with 61 porcelain veneers were included, from January 2014 to December 2015 in Department of Prosthodontics, Hospital of Stomatology, Sun Yat-sen University, to summarize the difficulties and key points during the adhesion nursing for minimally invasive porcelain veneers, and to evaluate the effect of the corresponding nursing strategies. Specifically, measures were taken as follows: to enhance the pre-operation dentist-nurse-patient communication and psychological counseling of patients; to coordinate with dentists during the process of try-on, preconditioning and adhesion of veneers; to assist dentists in digital photographing, medical advising and follow-up.

During the follow-up, the restorative outcomes and nursing process were found to be satisfied in 34 patients, while two veneers were debonded due to misuse in approximately one year after cementation. The satisfactory rate for adhesion nursing and the success rate of prostheses were 100% and 94.4% respectively.

The meticulous nursing in adhesion could be of help in achieving the expectations of both dentists and patients with minimally invasive porcelain veneers.
