Abstract: PURPOSE: To compare the aesthetic effects of all-ceramic micro-veneer and minimally invasive ultra-thin veneer in repairing deformed anterior teeth. METHODS: One hundred and twenty patients with deformed anterior teeth were selected for aesthetic restoration. According to the patient's personal condition, a suitable repair protocol was selected. Patients in the experimental group (60 cases) were repaired with all-ceramic micro-adhesive surface, while patients in the control group (60 cases) were treated with minimally invasive ultra-thin veneer. The US Public Health Administration's Evaluation Criteria (USPHS) scores were recorded and compared 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months after restoration. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 25.0 software package. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in the integrity, color, marginal closeness, translucency and marginal staining of the restorations between the two groups 24 months after operation (P>0.05). The satisfaction rate of the aesthetics of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group (71.60% vs 93.83%, P<0.05). The incidence of complications such as broken, detached and secondary caries during the follow-up period was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (1.23% vs 11.11%, P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The results showed that there is no significant difference in the success rate between the two methods. All-ceramic micro-veneer technique has good long-term effect, fewer complications, easy to collapse and stain the lip margin, but it has a small amount of teeth preparation and a low incidence of pulpitis in the later period. Minimally invasive super-thin veneer has high aesthetic value, so it is necessary to choose appropriate aesthetic repair methods according to the patients' needs.
