One of the most popular techniques in dentistry today is the etched porcelain veneer procedure. Lasco, working with several leading clinicians has designed a set of burs specifically for this purpose. The Lasco DC4 is a calibrated diamond wheel designed to give a 0.35mm to 0.40mm depth guide prior to enamel-plasty of the labial (facial) surfaces. The shank is held parallel with the tooth to create a depth cut guide for preparations. The Lasco 102F is used to place a subtle chamfer at the gingival and proximal margins. It's diameter is 1mm at the tip, which can be used to gauge the depth of the preparation (ie 1/2 the depth of the instrument is ideal reduction). This instrument is used to establish the three labial planes. The Lasco 102XF, having the same shape as the 102F, is used to produce a smooth finish on the enamel surface when desired. The Lasco 62F and 62XF are used instead of the 102F and 102XF when working in a confined area or on shorter teeth. The Lasco P11 is used in the proximal to gain slight separation (if required) and to finish the lingual incisal margin once the veneer is seated. The Lasco EL1XF is used for minor occlusional adjustments after veneer cementation.
