Introduction: Life like esthetic restorations that closely resemble natural teeth color, shape and function are challenge for every dentist and desire of every patient. Contemporary composites allow us to make such restorations with minimal or no – preparations.
Aim: The aim of the study was to present our case where for achieving better esthetic we made indirect composite veneer without preparation.
Material and method: The patient, 23 years old female came to our clinic complaining about the appearance of her smile. In this case due to enough space we decided to create veneer that would change the form and size of the incisor and because of the patient’s age we did not want to remove any healthy tissue and therefore we put the restoration of intact dental surface.
Clinical phase:
Examination and taking impressions
Laboratory phase
try in and cementing
Clinical findings showed that as a result of irregular form of the upper left second incisor and depression of the arc in that segment the esthetic was disrupted
Custom dies ware made after the impressions from the teeth and antagonists.
Before restoration
The veneer was produced in dental technicians laboratory with microfilled, light-/heat curing composite (SR Adoro® Ivoclar Vivadent).
After veneer cementing
After the try in was done, we isolated the other teeth and we cemented the veneer with adhesive technique using light-cure resin cement (Variolink Veneer ®).
After one year control
Conclusion: The Indirect method for producing veneers on intact teeth without preparation is noninvasive and successful clinical procedure with highly esthetic results. Characteristics of the material like easy shaping, high luster polishing, color stability, translucency and natural opalescence, wear nearly like natural enamel and possibility for reparation makes this composite highly indicated for this kind of veneers.
