Direct reconstruction of the maxillary anterior dentition with composite resin: a case report

Direct composite restorations continue to be a viable treatment alternative for numerous patients who desire anterior reconstructive procedures. In order to achieve optimal aesthetic and functional results, the clinician must possess a thorough understanding of composite resins and color and be able to simulate the optical properties of a natural tooth. This paper describes a sophisticated polychromatic color layering technique through the correct implementation of composite materials and freehand bonding techniques for the fabrication of ten direct resin veneer restorations in the maxilla.
