Due to the rise over the years in patient emphasis on better esthetic outcomes, veneering the metal base of a restoration with composite resin or porcelain is widely used in dentistry. For the preservation of the opposing natural dentition and the potential for repair, the use of composite veneering materials has been suggested because of their resilience, low abrasive properties, and superior repair potential. Composites are not as popular as porcelain, but they are still widely used to cover metal because of low cost and because the laboratorial procedures are faster and simpler.
