Mechanical Outcome of Direct Composite Resin Veneers.
J Sharif Med Dent Coll Jan ;5(1):32-5.

Objective: The objective of the present study was to assess the mechanical outcome of direct composite veneers in accordance with the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria. Methodology: It was a descriptive case series conducted at Lahore Medical and Dental College, Lahore. Ethical approval was taken and informed consents were obtained from patients. One hundred teeth were selected by non-probability purposive sampling technique and Filtek Z350 (3M) composite resin was used as a direct restorative material. All teeth were restored with composite resin veneers with the complete protocol. All composite veneers were assessed according to USPHS criteria during a one-year period. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 24. Results: All composite resin veneers performed well according to mechanical aspects of USPHS criteria including proximal contact point, marginal adaptation, polishability and anatomic form. Conclusion: The clinical performance of the direct restorations was excellent as per USPHS criteria in all aspects. Keywords: Mechanical outcome. Direct composite veneers. USPHS criteria.
