Sir, a patient arrived for a check-up today who I had seen as an emergency last summer when she had lost a veneer and the tooth was sensitive. I was limited as to what I did as at that stage I could not perform any AGP or even use air or water out of a syringe, so cemented it as best I could. She reported that it lasted a few weeks but then came off in a 25 metre swimming pool whilst on holiday in Switzerland. She was unable to find the veneer but reported it to the attendant at the pool. Amazingly she got a phone call six days later informing her it had been found and she subsequently had it recemented in Switzerland. Today it was still firmly in place some 20 weeks later. I share this story in admiration of the observation powers of Swiss pool attendants.
