Composite laminate veneers: a clinical study.

A 2-year clinical trial of a composite laminate veneer system for masking discoloration or hypoplasia on the anterior teeth of patients has been undertaken. Three hundred and twenty restorations were placed in seventy-nine patients, of these 273 restorations in sixty-eight patients have been followed over a 2-year period. The technique produced an acceptable improvement in the aesthetics of the patients in the trial. However, the veneers were susceptible to chipping (52% of lateral incisor veneers and 79% of central incisor and canine veneers showed some evidence of material loss after 2 years) and marginal staining (75% of veneers showed some evidence of marginal staining after 2 years) during function. The veneer restorations had a deleterious affect upon the gingival health of the teeth on which they were placed.
