Aesthetic Rehabilitation with Direct Composite Veneering using single shade composite resin: A Case Report

Abstract

Tooth wear is defined as the loss of dental hard tissues caused by non-carious factors, including attrition, abrasion, and erosion, and may present as localised or generalised defects. The 2017 European expert consensus recommends delaying indirect restorative procedures and prioritising minimally invasive, additive approaches. Direct composite veneers represent a conservative and effective option for managing tooth wear, particularly in young patients, individuals with healthy dentition, or those with financial limitations. This case report describes a minimally invasive technique for the management of tooth wear associated with dental erosion and caries using single-shade direct composite veneers, demonstrating functional and aesthetic rehabilitation while preserving tooth structure.
