Abstract

Composite veneers represent a solution for smile corrections, with the advantage of immediate results without laboratory procedures. Above all, they seem to be more conservative in cases where enamel preservation is mandatory, mainly due to the young age of the patients.

Among several techniques described in the literature, the layering technique is commonly claimed to reproduce the aspects of natural dentition and to allow control effects of translucency and right opacity, resulting in superior overcome. However, the layering technique involves deep acquaintance with adhesive procedures, material handling, and dental anatomy, making it complex and time-consuming. 

The regular technique should be simplified with fewer composites as a cosmetic solution to overcome such drawbacks. More attention can be given to the “two shades” layering technique using merely two composites without needing a previous wax-up or digital design.

This hands-on workshop will introduce techniques for composite layering (dentin/chromatic/achromatic enamel) and the modified technique, using fewer shades. Finishing and polishing of the veneers will be performed, pointing to the best polishing materials and the perfect sequence.

Learning Objectives

• Perform an anterior layering technique for composite reconstruction of the tooth with erosion.
• Learn the simplified veneer technique called the” two-shade technique.”
• Evaluate the results of discolored tooth after composite layering.
• Proceed with the correct protocol for finishing and polishing in anterior teeth.
