Esthetic rehabilitation with direct composite veneering: Two case reports

Abstract

Introduction: One of the most common treatment modalities in routine dental practice is restoring patients aesthetic appearance. Discolorations of the anterior teeth are common and have a variety of causes. Composite veneering has grown in popularity in recent years, thanks to the concept of minimal tooth preparation and improved aesthetic properties of composite resins. Composite resin has been envisioned as an alternative treatment to ceramic laminates due to its low cost, reduced treatment time, and improved aesthetics. Direct veneers are created by directly applying a composite material to the prepared tooth surface.Case Report: This article presents two case reports of direct composite veneering of anterior teeth using direct composite veneering with a six-month follow-up that resulted in a satisfactory outcome.Conclusion: Both the aesthetic and functional outcomes were satisfactory. As a result, direct composite veneers can be considered as a cost-effective and time-saving alternative to ceramic veneers.
