Direct and indirect resin composite veneers
Re-establishing a patient’s lost dental asthetic appearance is one of the most important topics for contemporary dentistry.New treatment materials and methods have been coming on the scene, day by day, in order to achieve such an aim. Most dentists prefer more conservative and aesthetic approaches. Laminate veneers are restorations which are envisioned to correct existing abnormalities, esthetic deficiencies and discolorations. Laminate veneer restorations may be processed in two different ways: direct or indirect. Direct resin composite veneers are one of the most commonly used restorations in the treatment of poor esthetics in anterior teeth presenting unsatisfactory colour and shape, defective restorations, slight misalignment and fractures.
Digitization in Dentistry : Clinical Applications

Readers will find practically oriented information on the digital procedures currently in use in various fields of dental practice, including, for example, diagnosis and treatment planning, oral radiography, endodontics, orthodontics, implant dentistry, and esthetic dentistry. The aim is to equip practitioners with the knowledge required in order to enhance their daily practice. To this end, a problem-solving approach is adopted, with emphasis on key concepts and presentation of details in a sequential and easy to follow manner. Clear recommendations are set out, and helpful tips and tricks are highlighted.
