6-year Clinical Performance of Prefabricated and Composite Veneers ( Componeer)

The aim of this study is to compare the clinical performance of composite veneers performed in two different ways, indirect and direct methods over a period of 6-year.

30 volunteer patients without systemic diseases and who applied to Ege University School of Dentistry for the esthetic restoration of their anterior diastema (gap) were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The closure of 102 diastema was randomly performed with prefabricated composite resin veneers (n=15; indirect method- Componeer, Coltène, Altstätten, Switzerland) or direct composite resin veneers (n=15; direct method- Essentia, GC, Japan). These restorations were clinically evaluated at baseline, 1-2-6-year by two experienced and blind examiners according to modified Ryge criteria (USPHS criteria). Color match, marginal discoloration, anatomic form, marginal adaptation, secondary caries, surface roughness, retention, and polishing retention were evaluated for that purpose. Statistical analysis was performed with McNemar and Chi-square tests (p<0.05).

About this study

The aim of this study is to compare the clinical performance of composite veneers performed in two different ways, indirect (Componeer) and direct methods (Essentia) over a period of 6-year.

The study protocol was approved by the Ethical Committee of Ege University, Izmir, Turkey (16-2.1/8; 01.04.2016). 30 patients without any systemic diseases (10 males, 20 females, mean age: 34) and with aesthetic complaints on their anterior teeth were treated with 102 restorations (48 Componeer and 54 Essentia).

In Group 1; 48 teeth (15 patients) were restored with Componeer prefabricated veneers (Coltène, Altstätten, Switzerland) in combination with Synergy D6 nanohybrid resin composite (Coltène) and One Coat Bond (Coltène) adhesive system. In Group 2; 54 teeth (15 patients) were restored with Essentia (GC, Japan) micro-hybrid resin composite in combination with G-Premio Bond (GC) adhesive system.

Periodontal treatments, fillings, and bleaching treatments were performed, if necessary, before any veneer treatment. For the pre-treatment records; 3 photographs (smile, anterior occlusion, and upper anterior teeth alone) were taken from each patient. Both groups used the "Button Try" technique for color selection. Componeer sizing guide was used for size selection in Group 1. Then teeth were cleaned with non-fluoride pumice (Cleanic; Kerr Dental, ABD) using a polishing brush. Isolation of the teeth and retraction of the lips were achieved with a rubber dam (OptraDam, Ivoclar Vivadent, Liechtenstein). Prefabricated veneers were prepared for the cementation process in Group 1. Then the labial surfaces were etched using 36% phosphoric acid for 30 s. The etched surfaces were rinsed for 30 s and dried. One Coat Bond (Coltene) adhesive system was applied on the labial surfaces of the teeth in accordance with user instructions in both groups. In Group 1; Synergy D6 nano hybrid resin composite was placed on the inner surfaces of the prefabricated veneers before being applied on appropriate teeth. Then the restorations were light-cured for 40 s from each surface (D-Light Pro, GC) and polished with a polishing paste (Prisma Gloss Extra Fine, Dentsply, NY, ABD) and a felt wheel.

In Group 2; Essentia (GC) micro-hybrid resin composite with dentin color was placed on the labial surfaces of the teeth and light-cured (D-Light Pro, GC). After that layer, Essentia enamel shades were placed over the labial surface of the tooth and light-cured for 20 s from each surface. The diamond bur contouring was performed and polishing discs (Super-Snap Rainbow Technique Kit, SHOFU) were used. For polishing purposes, a polishing paste (Prisma Gloss Extra Fine, Dentsply, NY, ABD) and a felt Wheel were used.

In group 1; gingival borders were adapted with contouring and polishing discs (Super-Snap Rainbow Technique Kit, SHOFU). Then proximal surfaces were polished using proximal sandpaper strips. Occlusion was checked for premature contacts. Two calibrated observers who were blinded to the objective of this study performed the evaluations. Color match, marginal adaptation, marginal discoloration, anatomic form, retention, secondary caries, and gloss retention were the properties evaluated for the restorations at baseline, 1-2-6-year using Modified Ryge Criteria (USPHS Criteria). Statistical analysis was performed with McNemar and Chi-square tests (p<0.05).

Primary outcomes

  1. Marginal discoloration

    Time frame: 6 years

    Marginal discoloration of prefabricated and resin composite veneers Evaluating differently veneer options on anterior teeth with United State Public Health Service criteria regarding marginal discoloration by 2 independent evaluators Marginal discolouration was evaluated by 2 independent clinicians. Visual inspection with a mirror at 18 inches was performed. A score means the higher score of clinical acceptability while C score means that the restoration has failed and needs to be replaced.

    Alpha: No discoloration anywhere along the margin between the restoration and the adjacent tooth. Bravo: Slight discoloration along the margin between the restoration and the adjacent tooth.

    Charlie: The discoloration penetrated along the margin of the restorative material in a pulpal direction.

  2. Marginal adaptation

    Time frame: 6 years

    Marginal adaptation of prefabricated and resin composite veneers Evaluating differently veneer options on anterior teeth with United State Public Health Service criteria regarding marginal adaptation by 2 independent evaluators Marginal discolouration was evaluated by 2 independent clinicians. Visual inspection with a mirror at 18 inches was performed . A score means the higher score of clinical acceptability while C score means that the restoration has failed and needs to be replaced.

    Alpha: No discoloration anywhere along the margin between the restoration and the adjacent tooth. Bravo: Slight discoloration along the margin between the restoration and the adjacent tooth.
