The evaluation of stress patterns in porcelain laminate veneers with different restoration designs and loading angles induced by functional loads: A three-dimensional finite element analysis study

Conclusion: Both the preparation design and load angle affected the stress distribution on the PLVs. The incisal bevel preparation design provided a more appropriate geometry for stress distribution compared with the other techniques. Lateral forces produced more stress on the tooth and laminate material than vertical forces.
