Direct Composite Veneering for Anterior Rehabilitation Using Customized Single Tooth Template System- C Veneers- A Unique Approach

“…The advantages of direct composite veneers are minimal/non-tooth preparation, single appointment procedure, less fracture rates and easy to repair, they are strong and durable, have similar abrasion rates as natural tooth structures and mainly is "cost effective." [9] Moreover polishing of direct composite veneers is easy, marginal adaptation is good. Whereas indirect veneers require reshaping of natural teeth in order to fit the veneer, tooth surface removal leading to sensitivity, multiple visits, failures due to debonding & fracture, they need temporary restoration and cost more.…”

“…It is radio opaque, with increased translucency and polishability. [9] C O N C L U S I O N S Case selection with regard to aesthetic correction of misalignment, form, colour, and spacing issues of anterior teeth, and also carious lesions of anterior teeth, is the most important factor. 8 When treating patients with complicated aesthetic needs, direct mock up technique facilitates predictable aesthetic results 15 and the laboratory fabricated templates is of course simple, time saving, low stress and provides perfect dental anatomy.…”

Effects of Accelerated Aging on Color Stability and Surface Roughness of a Biomimetic Composite: An In Vitro Study

“…The color stability of dental resin composites in a dynamic oral environment is a key criterion affecting their clinical longevity. However, dental composite resin’s extrinsic and/or intrinsic staining is one of their esthetic limitations [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Superficially stained restoration can be solved by polishing to retain the initial matched color; otherwise, a replacement of the restoration may be indicated [ 4 ].…”
