Dimethacrylate based composite resins for interim restorations in achievement ceramic veneers

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the interim veneer restoration, achieved from two types of dimethacrylate based composite resins (Telio CS C&B and Luxatemp Star), by direct technique. Both composite resins performed well according to evaluation criteria: anatomic configuration, marginal adaptation, discoloration, surface texture, postoperative pain and periodontal aspect. Loosening of interim restorations appeared in 25% of cases. Besides advantages, there are some disadvantages associated with direct way of achieving temporary veneers.
