5 year follow up on printed veneers

[Artie]

Thought you guys might be interested in this, and I'm sure most of you won't be too surprised by this. Back when Varseosmile Crown Plus resin was first certified on the ol sprintray, I started using it as an affordable inlay/onlay material for mostly Medicaid patients. I also did a handful of meth mouth veneer cases for free because giant anterior fillings are a garbage solution to a garbage situation and generally have an extremely low success rate. I just saw the first veneer case I ever did with that material and thought I'd share my findings. Margins are still acceptable, no recurrent which already makes it better than the average giant resin filling. Surface wear appears to be a bit of a problem with all the cusp tips and incisal edges being much rounder than the original files show. There's been no chipping and no leaking. And then we get to my biggest problem. This started life as an A2. Today I would call it a C3 maybe worse, and after polishing I would guess the discoloration is more than just the surface. I remember looking at the water sorption specs on this stuff when I first started using it and wondering how bad discoloration would be, and I guess I now have my answer. Not very good.

Overall, I'd call it a 4/10. Kept everything healthy, but gosh dang does it look bad.

yeah, light tends to discolor plastic so i guess i can understand that.

10/10 vindication

Looking at my notes, I used warmed TPH LV composite and scotchbond universal, so light cure only.

Good on you for this part, by the way. Always heartening to see people doing more than the bare minimum for people in awful situations like this.

I'm a garbage businessman, but I tend to sleep better when I'm doing the kind of work I got into the field for.
