Using 3M™ Scotchbond™ Universal Plus Adhesive, 3M™ Filtek™ Universal Restorative.
A patient with the history of agenesis of lateral incisors received orthodontic treatment and six feldspathic veneers for the upper anteriors. Eight years later, the veneers on teeth 11 and 21 broke in a sport accident and were temporarily repaired with 3M™ Filtek™ Ultimate Universal Restorative. Six months later the old veneers were removed and new feldspathic veneers were placed with 3M™ RelyX™ Universal Resin Cement and 3M™ Scotchbond™ Universal Plus Adhesive using the total-etch technique.
