This two‐year study dealt clinical evaluation Dentacolor veneering agent on posterior crowns. Forty restorations were inserted into series patients and evaluated following characteristics: color matching ability, wear loss anatomic form, surface texture microleakage at veneer‐metal interface. At end two years average was only 22 μm. Furthermore, rate linear. The surfaces free from pitting, retained high luster, exhibited excellent ability.
