Direct composite Veneers have been widely used and successful in dentistry.
Despite their potential for pleasing and swift results, misunderstanding still exists
regarding material and patient selection, indications, preparation design and
material selection. This course is designed to review techniques in preparation and
application design, material and techniques as well as patient selection. The most
popular and successful techniques for direct veneers are reviewed to aid the
practitioner in selection of the most appropriate one per case
Introduction:
The composite resin materials available today are extraordinary systems, which
have yet not been generally employed to its full potential. Complicated, unsuitable
or outdated techniques and aggressive tooth preparation have prevented
composites to reach its ultimate scope, the synergistic capacity of preserving tooth
structure; notably that of enamel, which - on its turn - will help increase the
longevity of the restoration. Composites have the remarkable potential for
replacing dentin and supporting undermined enamel structure. The author will
present a simplified albeit comprehensive and highly esthetic technique for the
optimal handling of dental composites with effortless adaptation and contouring.
Useful tips and tricks as well as the easy development of correct and natural dental
anatomy will be proposed achieving excellence thought occlusal and functional
references. All these steps will culminate in a minimized finishing and occlusal
adjustment, maximizing the fun in a seamless and highly integrated result. This
presentation aims to introduce new techniques and concepts to help consistently
obtain an excellent, predictable and long lasting restoration, which while also
strengthening a tooth that has lost its integrity, will culminate in a successful and
economical treatment... and a happy patient.
