The aim of this in vitro study was to assess a new design that, to our knowledge, we have introduced (patent pending) for indirect dental veneers. Their effect on the retention and adhesive properties at their interfaces have been studied. Fourteen high performance polymeric (PEEK) dental veneers have been elaborated using a computer-aided-design (CAD) software and then milled using a computer-aided-machine (CAM). They were divided in two experimental groups: seven classical veneers with a liniar marginal contour and seven dental veneers with the novel proposed sinusoidal marginal design. All the samples have been bonded to polymeric blocks that had the vestibular face prepared in a specific way for each group. The values of the retention and adhesive forces were tested in vitro by applying bending forces on the incisal edge of the veneers, from the oral to the vestibular direction. A 50% increase of the values of these forces for the novel design with regard to the classical one has been demonstrated through the study.
