Hello!
This is Seoul Vardi Dental Clinic in Gangdong-gu.
Today’s case is about a patient whose laminate came off and was retreated.

Laminate comes off easily, so it doesn’t last long...
Gangdong-gu laminate
Many people say this.
However, there is a clear reason for laminate detachment,
and if the cause is accurately identified
and treated appropriately with retreatment,
it can be used healthily for a long time.
Condition of the teeth at the first visit
Gangdong-gu laminate
The oral examination results at the time were as follows.


Laminate detached from the anterior front teeth
Existing tooth condition:
Poor bonding and discoloration observed


No major damage from the detachment
The patient’s anxiety about laminate
When a restoration like this
comes off,
there is anxiety that it could come off again at any time.
But there is definitely a cause
for laminate detachment.
If that part is identified well
and resolved,
then situations like this
will not happen so suddenly.
Main causes of Gangdong-gu laminate detachment
Problems in the bonding process
- Inadequate tooth surface preparation
- Reduced bond strength due to moisture contamination
- Improper adhesive selection and application method
Improper tooth preparation
Cases where the amount of tooth reduction is too little or too much
Problems with the margin design
Occlusion problems
Habit of biting with the front teeth
Teeth grinding or clenching
Cases where excessive force is concentrated every time the upper and lower teeth bite together
The key here is
accurate diagnosis and treatment,
and the patient’s cooperation.
We had a thorough consultation with the patient.
First, we analyzed why the previous laminate
came off,
and created a careful treatment plan
so the same problem
would not repeat.
I’ll figure out why it came off
and thoroughly improve that part for you.

On the day of the examination
24.5.8
The detached laminate was removed,
and the existing adhesive was completely removed.
Tooth reshaping and precise impression taking
A temporary tooth was also completed with resin
When reshaping the tooth,
the key is to secure the proper amount of reduction
while minimizing damage to the tooth.
Create an environment where the laminate
can be firmly bonded
24.5.16
At the try-in stage,
we checked the color and shape of the fabricated laminate
To naturally match the patient’s teeth
and balance aesthetics,
we adjusted the color to be about half a tone darker.

Before final attachment,
you can place it on the teeth and check the color and shape in actual use.
At this stage, by fully reflecting the patient’s opinion,
satisfaction can be increased.
Gangdong-gu laminate bonding
24.5.21
After undergoing tooth surface pre-treatment,
we applied the adhesive in a perfectly dry field
and went through the process of bonding it
in the correct position.
We also checked whether there were any problems
with the bite.
At times like this, I always become very sensitive.
The key to laminate success is the bonding process itself,
so even though it is just a brief moment,
it requires a lot of focus.
Thorough moisture control (blocking saliva and moisture)
Proper adhesive selection
Sufficient light curing
(so it can bond well)
Only when these steps are carried out accurately
can the laminate
last for a long time.

One week after the Gangdong-gu laminate was attached
The patient returned
for a check of the tooth condition.
We check once again at this point.
First, whether there are any spots that hit first
or any interference.
While carrying out the retreatment,
we guided the patient on
how to use the laminate for a long time.
- Avoid biting or tearing with the front teeth
- Be careful of impact or trauma
- Check the condition through regular examinations
- Be careful with hard foods
Just because a laminate came off
does not mean the restoration itself is the problem.
What matters is identifying
why it came off
and resolving the cause.
If you have accurate diagnosis and treatment,
as in this case,
and proper care from the patient,
it can remain healthy
for more than 10 years.
If right now,
you want laminate treatment but are worried about various side effects..
