Aesthetic Restoration of Maxillary Incisors with Composites: Case Report

The increasing demand for esthetic restorations motivates the dentist to develop special skills and knowledge of dental restorative materials. The success in restoring teeth within the aesthetical zone results in positive effect on patient's self-esteem and quality of life. The direct composite resin layering techniques allow greater preservation of sound tooth structure than indirect restorations. The main difficulties encountered by clinicians, have involved contamination due to improper isolation, individual patient characteristics, and the provision of restorations with acceptable strength, durability, and esthetics. Composite resin has become an integral part of contemporary restorative dentistry and the material of choice for Class IV restorations due to improvements in materials, conservative concepts in restorative dentistry and clinical successes. This article shows a case report of an esthetic rehabilitation of the two maxillary incisors using composites.
