Bonded Composites Versus Ceramic Veneers (Evidence Summary)

This evidence summary aims to locate and summarise evidence to identify if bonded composites should be used rather than ceramic veneers for the repair and aesthetic enhancement of worn and otherwise damaged anterior teeth.

It does not include detailed descriptions of the studies cited nor does it include information that was not presented in the literature.

The Curious about website encourages dental professionals to raise issues where a review of the available evidence would provide a useful resource for other dental professionals. Where there is a lack of evidence, the topic is considered for research and an award is made available.

These activities are sponsored by the Shirley Glasstone Hughes Fund, a restricted fund within the BDA Trust Fund. The focus of the fund is research into primary care dentistry and aims to generate a body of relevant research for practising dentists.
