I often say there is no one size fits all solution in dental material selection. Of course there are certain materials that have multiple uses based upon the clinical situation but there are no absolutes. I hope you find the below helpful when tying to decide between feldspathic and pressable materials for ceramic veneers.

Feldspathic

Advantages:

• Color control
• Amount of reduction required
• External finishing will not remove color

Disadvantages:

• Difficult fabrication
• Fit can be difficult to obtain
• Strength

Pressable

Advantages:

• Ease of construction
• Fit
• Strength

Disadvantages:

• Amount of reduction required
• Color control
• May require cervical stain for color which can be removed with external finishing
