Chairside veneering of composite resin to anterior stainless steel crowns: another look.
The chairside veneering of stainless steel crowns using the technique described in our original article (J Dent Child, 61: 321-326 September-December 1994) has proven to be a very dependable and successful technique for restoring severely damaged primary anterior teeth. In this article an advancement in the technique is described using new light-cured materials that simplify the veneering process and produce thinner veneers. The resulting veneers maintain the adaptability, strength, and gingival contour benefits of the stainless steel crown in conjunction with the cosmetics of composite facings. The chairside technique can be quickly mastered by a dental auxiliary and results in veneered crowns with very high shear and bond strengths.
