Incorporating flowable composites into the minimally invasive treatment sequence for aesthetic enhancement

The conservative correction of stained anterior dentition is well-suited to minimally invasive techniques that first incorporate in-office, light-activated bleaching, and take-home, dentist-monitored tray bleaching. The second most conservative approach is the placement of direct composite restoratives, including recently introduced flowable varieties that help the clinician more precisely and predictably place these materials. This article demonstrates a conservative treatment sequence for in-office bleaching and direct composite placement for the aesthetic correction of discolored anterior maxillary dentition.
