Semidirect Resin Composite Veneers in a Patient with Bruxism

Figure 1

Series of photographs documenting the initial condition of the patient’s maxillary anterior teeth. (a) The extraoral photograph taken during the first appointment highlights the relationship between the maxillary anterior teeth and the patient’s lip. This lateral view distinctly reveals the absence of interproximal contact between the lateral incisor and the canine on the right side (elements #10 and #11, respectively), as well as noticeable dental wear, particularly in the cuspal and incisal areas, of the upper incisors and canines. (b) An intraoral photograph, providing a buccal view of the maxillary anterior teeth, clearly shows the existing direct resin composite veneers on the central incisors (elements #8 and #9). Notably, these veneers lack a shiny surface, and there is a visible fracture on the incisal third of the right central incisor (element #9).
