Abstract :
A review of different tooth preparation in direct and indirect composite veneer and ceramic veneers. An electronic search for “direct composite veneer," "indirect composite veneer," and "ceramic veneer" through the dental literature databases Scopus, MEDLINE, and PUBMED. References from studies and reviews were also selected for more information. Incisal overlap preparation shows excellent aesthetic and longevity. The clinician's preference ultimately determines the preparation design within the constraints of the literature currently available. However incisal overlap preparation appears to have the most predictable results of all the tooth preparations.
