1. General information
introduction
Three procedures are currently available for veneering. Direct veneering or correction with composite, di-
rect ceramic veneering with veneers prepared chairside or indirect veneering with veneers prepared in the
laboratory. Cost and time required for the procedure also increases. COMPONEER represents an additional
category. This category includes pre-shaped, prepared veneers of enamel-coloured composite in various
sizes that allow the dentist to prepare direct composite veneers without having to model the basic shape
of the top enamel layer.
