Semidirect Resin Composite Veneers in a Patient with Bruxism

Figure 9

The semidirect composite resin veneers after sandblasting with 110 μm aluminum oxide powder. Although not apparent in the image, note that they have been protected with PVS putty material to prevent sandblasting on the external surface. The semidirect composite resin veneer intaglios were prepared as follows: (a) Silane was applied with a small brush to the pretreated surfaces, and the material was allowed to react for 60 seconds. Subsequently, any remaining excess was dispersed with a strong stream of air. (b) The universal adhesive system was applied (AdheSE Universal, Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein). (c) Dual-cure resin cement (Variolink Esthetic DC, Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) was applied to the internal surface of the semidirect composite resin veneers.
