Abstract
Background: This article is focused on the use of polymerized, prefabricated nano-hybrid-composite veneers to close diastema and to regain a vitality appearance of non vital discolored teeth. Case Reports: A 24-year old patient presented herself with a major complaint about the discoloration of her maxillary central incisors. The prefabricated composite veneers were recommended as the perfect solution in this case. Tooth shape and size was evaluated with the contour guide. Two pre-fabricated composite veneers size “M” were trimmed and cemented with the same hybrid composite resin that they were made from. A 28 year-old patient presented herself with a major complaint about her diastema. Her maxillary frontal teeth were intact. It was decided to use two veneers; size “L” and shade A2/B2 and Enamel Universal were chosen. Identical steps were followed as in clinical case 2. Conclusion: This new technique of treatment resulted to be an affordable way to regain esthetics. It is a one session treatment and requires no lab sessions, which makes it very comfortable for both dentist and patients. As with all new techniques, there is still a lot to be done, to confirm its effectiveness as a long term solution in esthetic dentistry.
Highlights
Achieving an attractive smile requires so many different components interacting with each other like: the face, head and neck; facial structures and features; the nature, form, functions and condition of, in particular, the soft tissues of the lower third of the face, the lips; the architecture and health of the gingival tissue; and last, but by no means least, the shapes, condition, shades, and function of individual teeth, and the dentition as a whole.Designing beautiful smiles has been a challenge for many years and the “invention” of dental veneering has been a crucial feature of this challenge
While the “invention” of veneering anterior teeth by Dr Pincus[1] was presented in 1937, it became more popular in the mid-seventies, using three different approaches: direct bonding using resin composites, prefabricated composite veneers and indirect, custom-made porcelain veneer[2]
Pre-fabricated composite veneers are available in different shades and sizes which matches the requirements of the patients
Summary
This new technique of treatment resulted to be an affordable way to regain esthetics. It is a one session treatment and requires no lab sessions, which makes it very comfortable for both dentist and patients. As with all new techniques, there is still a lot to be done, to confirm its effectiveness as a long term solution in esthetic dentistry.
