The purpose of this case report was to restore severely discolored and fractured non-vital maxillary central incisors with direct resin composite laminate veneers and to discuss the short-term follow-up. A 17 years old male patient presented to Istanbul Aydın University Faculty of Dentistry because of aesthetic reasons. After radiographic and clinical examination, severe discoloration and fracture of maxillary central incisors were diagnosed. First of all, endodontic retreatment and internal bleaching were performed. Then the teeth were prepared for resin composite laminate veneer restorations. The teeth were etched with 37% phosphoric acid, restored with an adhesive system and a nano-hybrid composite. Finishing and polishing procedures were performed immediately. As a result of the six-month control, the patient was very satisfied with the image of his teeth that still preserve the natural tooth like appearance. Direct resin composite laminate veneer is a costeffective treatment option to restore anterior teeth aesthetically. This treatment procedure is useful for the growing patients before any definite restoration planning.
