Case-Based Direct Composite Resin Veneer Simulation Lab Exercise

Direct cuspal-coverage posterior resin composite restorations: A case report.

The clinical success of direct composite restorations is the result of the correct use and performance of adhesive systems, resin composites and light curing systems. Total-etch adhesive systems and microhybrid resin composites have seen continuous improvement; various clinical techniques have been introduced to address polymerization shrinkage. Manufacturers have introduced sophisticated light...

Direct Restorative Treatment of Missing Maxillary Laterals with Composite Laminate Veneer: A Case Report

This clinical report describes a direct composite laminate veneer restoration of the maxillary anterior teeth in one chair time to produce a better esthetic appearance in a patient with diastemata and missing laterals.

Simplifying direct composite resin restorations in the aesthetic zone.

Direct composite resin onlays: rationale and clinical application.

Ceramic full crowns can restore lost tooth structure, strength, and esthetics but remove about twice as much tooth as an onlay design. Onlay restorations can maintain facial enamel for long-term esthetics, preserve the dentogingival junction for optimum periodontal health, and use supragingival margins for predictable adhesive dentistry. Metallic onlays can create fracture strength 3 times that...

Techniques for restoring worn anterior teeth with direct composite resin.

UNLABELLED Toothwear is increasing in prevalence. Traditional treatment methods for moderate or advanced toothwear, such as indirect restorations and crown lengthening surgery, are invasive and destructive of remaining tissues. The 'Dahl technique' has been used to obtain space for anterior restorations and has been modified such that direct composite restorations are placed at increased occlus...
