Abstract:
A technique for manufacturing direct resin composite veneers is presented. Described are the advantages of using an acrylic resin matrix, made before the preparation is begun, to copy anatomic details. An additional step to mask previously prepared dark enamel with opaquers is also described. The advantages and limitations of the procedures are discussed.
