University of Santa Catarina, Brazil.

A new technique for the fabrication of composite resin direct veneers is presented. In this technique, a transparent acrylic resin matrix is fabricated before preparation of the facial surface of the tooth, to allow the adequate reproduction of contour, shape, and surface texture originally exhibited by the tooth. Advantages, as well as limitations, of the procedure are also presented.
