The follow-up time was 24 months. The veneers were examined with a modified Ryge criteria.Results The fracture of the incisal edge on 2 veneers was noticed after 12 months. After 24 months, the partial fracture of the distal incisal corner on 1 veneer was noticed; a gap was detected on the margin of another veneer and discoloration was observed on 5 ones.
