title: Composite-veneered amalgam restorations.
abstract: A procedure is described for the construction of composite resin veneers for large amalgam restorations. The resulting restoration combines the physical qualities of amalgam with the esthetic benefits of composite resins. Among the 14 restorations that have been studied for 2 years, none failed mechanically and minor surface discolorations have been satisfactorily corrected by polishing.
